This was another flop tea for me. I got the tasting note of cloves and sweet potato and with the chocolate base. But this isn’t like any Yunnan I’ve had before. And sadly I’m not that big of a fan of it. I don’t like cloves that much (I did try Verdant Tea’s Chai and that was pretty good! Its all over Minneapolis.) so maybe that’s why this tea didn’t impress me.

Dunno, what I love about a Yunnan is that caramel sweetness that leaves you with a full mouth feel. This just felt flat and bitter. It sadly falls into my “would not order again” category.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 30 sec

blah blah blah, come on people, not every tea can be ranked 80+. Rant, rave; but honestly not every tea you drink can be ranked the same, otherwise you defeat the point of giving the grade!

So as other people have broken down their ranking systems, I am doing the same.

I’ve also decided to update my reviewing system. I’m going to be ranking across a 3 system scale on: taste, accurate representation, and price.

Taste = 0-100 (see old ranking)
Accurate Representation = 75 being average (how true it is to its style of production. So a Darjeeling that tastes like an Assam would rank lower)
Price = Percent difference of what I think the tea is worth

-————————————————————————

Old Ranking
90-100 = I’m quite happy to buy again
70-89 = Acceptable representation
50-69 = Wouldn’t order again
20-49 = Meh
10-19 = Average tea bag ranking
0-9 = Needed to brush my teeth immediately
