additional notes: Old tea bag alert.  I think I found a couple bags of this YEARS ago in a teabox.  Numi is usually my favorite teabag company!  As far as I can remember.  This isn’t bad.  Though I think I just realized today that this is ripe puerh WITH magnolia flavored green tea.  Then I was trying quite hard to taste any green tea, but I don’t think I could…. unless its inclusion is only making the puerh weaker.  Or maybe it’s hojicha.  But I don’t think it’s very weak for a teabag with a smallish amount of leaves.  I don’t think it was worth it to add “magnolia” green, as I can’t really taste magnolia either.  Checking my 10 year old note, I didn’t notice magnolia then either. A straight puerh here would have been fine.  The second steep was weak but I probably let the first steep go a little long.  Again… I like Numi!  Nice to revisit this one.  Now if only they would make their vanilla black again.

oh, I’m seeing now that the note before mine in the dashboard is a well loved Numi tea…

I feel like magnolia would be an interesting flavor in a tea! Too bad they didn’t make it work.

Well, there is an oolong with magnolia scent: https://dobrateapgh.com/products/magnolia-mao-jian

And Dobra Tea is a good brand.

Eh, sorry… green tea, not oolong :)

I have a Magnolia oolong from Maya Tea, but even when it was fresh I didn’t think it tasted like magnolia…

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!
