GCTTB
I’ve had this style of tea before and was excited to try Tao’s version of it. I did rinse, and I did keep the steep times pretty short, but there is still something in here I dont like. One of my teacfreinds suggested another one tasted like the chemicals in her father’s wood working shop. I’m thinking that might be a good description of this. It’s woody, its musty, its old, and then something icky. Sorry this one was a miss.

can’t bring myself to try it again. still remembering the first time I tried it and am scared for getting that taste again. I love most Tao’s teas, but I agree – not this one :(

Dexter

I have other An Hua style teas – my friend didn’t like it, but I don’t mind it. This one wasn’t for me. Wondering about steep parameters. If I can find some time, I’m going to play with one of mine and see if I can recreate this. I’m not sure if it’s the tea or how we are brewing it. I agree Tao usually has really good tea. :)

I normally try to drink some tea before I go to work in the morning, and I had this one this morning. Bad idea.

Looking over Scribbles’s previous note and comments, it appears that a rinse is in order. However, I just brewed this western style in a mug because I seriously don’t have time in the morning for gaiwan brewing. Dark, earthy, musty, with a note of camphor/menthol.

I’m sure it’s not a bad tea if you steep it under the right conditions. Those conditions, alas, are in short supply on a Monday morning when I need to leave the house at 7:20 to catch my train. I didn’t finish the mug and poured the remainder down the sink.

Ouch, poor you! I wonder what’d happen if you added a dash of sugar

I’m not sure, but I doubt I’d want to revisit this tea again. Luckily, if I change my mind, the office I’m working at is not very far from Tao.

Indigobloom

Nice! I really need to grab some more stuff from him. There are a few he has I’ve yet to tru

So I included this one the GCTTB, and I’m kind of sorry that I did. I didn’t try it before adding it, ‘cause I thought dark fermented tea? Should taste ok. Nope. I don’t like it. At all. It has an odd scent, which translates into the taste. I couldn’t even finish the cup. Dumped. My apologies to anyone who tries this tea and finds it as odd as I do.

I’m going to try it again tomorrow after a rinse and will hopefully find it more palatable.

boychik

I like heicha. Did you rinse it?

scribbles

No. I’ll give that a try tomorrow and re-edit if necessary.

mrmopar

Rinse for sure.

scribbles

OK. Will rinse and try again.
