150ml gaiwan, 5gish,
Dry-light roast, apple
15s- still pretty balled, hint of fruit. 30s- roasted, fruit. 45s- roast/caramel, fruit, sweetness in after taste. 1min- astringency starting.
Caramel seems to be a hard flavor to pick out. I just lose it under the other flavor or it comes off as sweet. The roast level of this didn’t work for me either. Not a tea for me. 70
Flavors: Astringent, Caramel, Fruity, Roasted
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.
Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
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.
