Impulse buy as I was making a Harney order and still had some of that gift certificate that needed using up.

I was about to say this is everything I dislike about black teas, but then realize it could indeed be worse, a lot worse. Its not as harsh as some I’ve tried.

I can’t say for sure what exactly it is I don’t like, what flavor elements that just don’t sit well with me. While there is some astringency, its not a harsh tea like others I have had. I just really don’t enjoy the flavor. Maybe this is a tea better suited for the tradition British style add in staples of milk/cream, sugar, and similar that I just really don’t like to use.

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.
