Hard to describe this one. First steeped it had a more mild flavor, though one I can’t quite described. In some ways it just reminded me of a kind of generic tea flavor with a little something extra. As it cooled down however, it just got really astringent.
Second steep seemed to skip the generic tea realm and just went for astringent.
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

That is sad. If I buy a tippy golden tea, I expect it to wow me.
