Thank you so much to this company for the samples!

I brewed both hot and cold with same amount (1/2 tsp)

Hot – 212F and stirred in a 6oz glass – This brew has a strong wood tone. This dry wood flavor is quickly replaced with a sweet syrupy sugar cane aftertaste. It was a very delectable brew. The bottom had to be stirred though; because, all the debris would settle.

Cold – Ice water in a 6 oz glass – This was delicious! The brew would clump a lot though, but it just took some extra stirring to prevent it. The flavor is completely sweet with a slight dry grass undertone. This would be perfect for mixed drinks or cold cocktails. I drank this down very quickly. The last sip though had a very dusty and dry taste, for everything had settled to the bottom.

Both – All in all, this was a very enjoyable tea session. When preparing this brew, you will get a very sweet yet grassy herbaceous beverage. Personally, I prefer it cold, and I would love to mix this with some other things. They both settle to the bottom, and it makes for a rather dirty last sip. The last sip is still very sweet though. I enjoyed this very much!

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
