195F, 8oz, 1 tsp. Westren.
2min30s- honey, floral, cream. Creamy honey throughout steep. Smooth.
I steeped this well passed the time printed on the directions. Dropped the 2nd steep to recommended time of 1min. Really the flavor was similar and tea was not negatively impacted by longer steep time. Like this tea 89.
I did try this in a gaiwan the next day and found I liked it better westren.
Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Honey, Smooth
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.
