Honestly, this is from an order made a year and a half ago, but its been sitting since I’ve been using cold brew to sip down a bunch of other teas.

I’m not sure if its the age or if this was just not the tea in the package. It reminds me of pu’erh. Leather and mud and grossness, Definitely does not taste like orders I’ve had in the past.

Asked a few coworkers for their opinions and everyone agrees, so its not just me.

I’ve had to throw it out.

Sip down!

Good, but I do prefer Golden Snail more.

Another sipdown

Fun, but its too much cinnamon and not enough tea for my tastes.
I did find I enjoy mixing it with other teas that could use a bit of cinnamon to them.

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.

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:

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.
