Dry leaf smells of cherry wood. 2tsp, 8oz, 208F
I tried this westren tonight. 3 steeps overall. I got coconut, some sweetness, but nothing I was very impressed with. I felt that the flavor was very uneven. Unfurled the leaves are pretty small and broken. I’ve had better flavor from other oolongs.
Flavors: Cherry Wood, Coconut, Sweet
I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.
I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.
I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.
I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.
My cupboard is mostly up to date.

71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
