4277 tasting notes

Additional notes: I’m sad I let this tea linger around, as looking at past notes, this was probably the most fantastic green tea I’ve ever had. Now it’s all crumbled. And very old. But it’s still delicious. Probably not as fantastic as it once was, but now it tastes like just a “very good” newer tea might taste. I’m trying to balance out some older teas with some teas I’m trying for the first time. Believe it or not, I still have a few teaspoons from that Butiki teabox back in the day. All of them have unofficial names (not actually Butiki teas) so I can’t really write tasting notes for them, but they are still very much enjoyable. Back in the day, I think I just did one big tasting note for all my Butiki teabox experiences (though this one was just stored in the same Teavivre foil pouch as the Butiki teabox teas, not actually from that teabox.)

" Believe it or not, I still have a few teaspoons from that Butiki teabox back in the day." hehehehe Oh I BELIEVE IT with you. lol :D :P

tea-sipper

Yeah, not that hard to believe. haha. I have a problem with hoarding way too many small amounts of tea.

:D Your tea collection is awesome <3

tea-sipper

Why thank you, but it’s a little TOO awesome. The collection unintentionally grew, mostly from so many kind steepsterers sending me so much tea all the time . :D

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
