4.3g, 90 mL zzz

wet: sour, light smoke, fruit, plum. YQH storage surprisingly not dominant.

1. savory, with Yang storage undertones. medicinal and slight downing and heat. Very light sweetness on finish, w almost alcohol-tinged taste.

2. more intensely bitter and pill-like. coppery taste and subtle Yang storage note

3. very smokey and meaty. still sth wine-like. mushroom-y bitter finish.

4. a bit watery and mushroom-y. Leafy coppery mid notes and some sour medicinal taste

5. a bit sweet

6. leafy and bitter. stopped here to leave for work.

well, what a surprise. this wasn’t half bad this time, though it’s been a couple years. Very savory overall, with a strong bitter core, though it doesn’t resolve that nicely. was very alert at work all day, so the caffeine is certainly intact.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.

As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
