Well it looks like I did it again. I put in a note right after my first time trying this and never made a note again. Its basically been a staple of mine since 2016. If I don’t have this in stock its because I am either waiting for an order to come in or I am waiting for it to get back in stock so I can make a new order.

I would not call this tea sweet. It has a very savory, almost maybe bready taste to me. Don’t have a better description for it. Warm and smooth. It can become astringent, especially if over steeped, but is quite smooth for my usual parameters is boiling water for around 2ish minutes. (I don’t time anything. I just look into the cup to see if the color looks about right.) I don’t notice much in the way of bitterness, but that is one of my blind spots, so no promises.

I can get a good 3 resteeps on the same leaves, though I will start noticing a loss of flavor on the third.

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.
