Wanted something different from my usual for my BIRTHDAY TEA, so I am having the last of the Bohea that Auggy sent me. It’s just what was needed: something smooth and slightly sweet, but also very flavorful.
I really like this one best when it has sat for just long enough to reach that magical level of temperature that’s just less than piping hot, but not yet at ‘warm’. It seems to thicken up and get sweeter and fuller-bodied, with a delightfully smooth smoky finish. Mmm.
Ohhh, I dunno. I like tea but I’m kind of a tea newbie. At this point I can say with authority that I may never be anything else, no matter how many teas I try…there is always something new out there.
I write a lot.
I also play way too many video games.
Ratings! (Bout time, wot?) This is a new arrangement, so…subject to change!
1-10: Not potable. First-sip disasters.
11-30: Intensely unpleasant…won’t catch me finishing the cup.
31-50: I really don’t like it…but maybe somebody else out there would.
51-70: Drinkable, but probably not the first thing I’m going to reach for.
71-90: Pretty good tea, and stuff that there’s a good chance I’ll have on-hand. Will do in a pinch at the low end, all the way up to regular visitors to my infuser on the high end.
91-100: Teas I really do not want to be without.

Is that a dan cong… or wuyi? It sounds exactly like the dan cong I have, which is labeled completely in Mandarin…
