A little heavy on the peach. And its not really real peach aroma either. Its those peach-o gummies that were so delicious when I was younger…and have now lost some of their appeal.
Its also got a faint smoky element that I wasn’t really expecting. As smoky isn’t really something I associate with peach or jasmine…I guess it is from the tea. And it isn’t a heavy aroma, just reminds me more of the gunpowder green.
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
