Sweet and slightly floral. Slight stone fruit thing going on. Just okay and not really memorable, but certainly not bad.

Flavors: Floral, Honey, Stonefruit

I actually really disliked the last couple of couple I had of this, and I’m glad it’s gone. Too weirdly buttery.

On a role with the sip downs at work over the last couple weeks. I really enjoy the balance of lavender and blueberry in this blend.

The teabag I have was labeled ‘8810’ with no name, and I had thrown it into my wok tea stash. Trying to sipdown my work stash, I blindly steeped this up. Wow, this is salty. I wasn’t expecting it, so the salinity hit me and it wasn’t super pleasant.

Apparently I haven’t logged this, even though I just finished off a bottle. I miss Grimoire’s bottles. They’re so cute.

This was nice- lavender and freeze-dried marshmallow. Not something I need to purchase again, though.

Working on sipping through a 25g packet. I actually have lot 925, but I didn’t want to make an entirely new listing.

This tea is interesting. When it’s still piping hot, it’s delicious. As soon as it cools, it tastes like nothing. Because of the weird flavor phenomenon, it does better steeped gongfu rather than western style.

Flavors: Flowers, Lilac, Peas, Snow Peas, Spinach

Gongfu.

Most should pu’erh just isn’t really for me. I try, but I can’t get past the fishy, compost smell.

I was hoping to find more of a deep, molasses flavor with this, but it was just the typical wet earth and slight fishiness. Sorry little gingerbread man.

Aww, that’s shame. I have one Mini received yesterday and I was/am looking forward to it. Maybe I will let it age a bit.
