Sip down.
I went through this slow enough that I suspect it was just loosing something. Still a little sweetness but not much else.

Sip down!

I think there might be some interesting flavors here but they seem to conflict with the roast, at least for me. The overall affect just feels muddied.

Thought I would try doing a cold brew sip down.
Reminds me of perfumed soap.

Tried cold brewed. Not bad, but not good either. Has an odd after taste. Won’t bother trying to cold brew this again.

I’ve been aggressively sipping down samples I got from last year, and this is another one.

Upping my rating a bit. I feel I may have been a little harsh in my opinion when I wrote my first note.

The cinnamon is still near non existent, but the base hasn’t seemed as harsh to me as it did that first time. Its still not really my thing, but its ok.

I’ve kept meaning to make more notes, but life has kept getting in the way.

I don’t get the cereal vibe I got the first time. In fact, I only got that the first time I tried it. Since then, I haven’t gotten much of anything honestly. I might be getting a hint of sweetness in the back end of the sip. Or that might just be I still have the taste of toothpaste in my mouth this morning. :)

Overall, glad I tried it but also glad that its now gone.

Tried as a cold brew. There isn’t a hint of raison in it, but it makes a pretty decent cold brew.

Wow, been well over a year since my last note on these adorable little cones.

Yep, still a favorite staple. There’s not much in the way of complexity here, but its just so smooth and forgiving. Perfect for work.

Tried again. I noticed a lot less of pretty much all of the things I mentioned before.
Just isn’t my thing. That first steep or two before the ball really breaks up are fine. But once they do, I just don’t find any enjoyment. There’s less nuance in the flavor I perceive.

Due to Steepster instability, I have moved to my own system for logging/rating/tracking and I have chosen to move to a 10pt rating system. (As of 7/2023)

All new teas will be rated using this new system. Existing teas will not be modified unless I try them again.

Rating Details:
100 – Amazing
90 – Excellent
80 – Enjoyable
70 – If I’m in the right mood
60 – Nothing Special
50 – Interesting elements, but doesn’t work as a whole
40 – Disappointing
30 – Not for me
20 – Harsh/Bad
10 – Absolutely horrible

All reviews are purely subjective based upon my personal preferences alone.
