This review is for India Nilgiri ‘Hari Ghatta’ Oolong by What-cha.
I don’t feel like entering it. I didn’t like this tea at all.
190F, 5g, 100ml gaiwan
10s rinse – smells fruity, but with sour edge
20s steep – super drying, tea is sucking all moisture from my mouth. Taste is wood? unripe green apricots, sour, very unpleasant to drink. Dumped out tea.

Discarding rest my sample, not something I want to try again.
Flavors: Drying, Sour
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.
