Today I drank a tea which was gifted to me by my brother’s friend who is a girl (not girlfriend) from China. She visited our house for a couple days while I was working out of state, but knowing that it was my birthday and that I like tea, she gave a tin of tea to my brother to pass on to me. It came with 6 or 7 little vaccum-sealed packages of Tieguanyin. The tea seemed decently fresh – certainly more than other Tieguanyin I’ve had in the past. It was pretty good tasting – some floral and vegetal notes. Not my favorite style of oolong, but it’s the thought that counts anyways, so I appreciate it regardless. I’d probably rate the tea 73/100.
This is You :-D

Bio
A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.
I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.
My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.
I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
