The dry leaves smell light and airy…delicate like. Once steeped it has a slight rich earthiness to it. Pretty good but I think I still prefer Assam black as my mainstay.
2nd steeping is pretty good as well…just a little bit lighter then the first.
I live in Boise, Idaho…home of the Boise State Broncos:) I’m a newbie to the tea scene and trying to get my hands on various kinds of tea to try them all. I enjoy reading, listening to music, and watching various television shows.
My current TV obsession is Parks and Recreation:-D I also love The Middle, Modern Family, Simpsons, The Neighbors, Vampire Diaries, and Game of Thrones.
My Steepster rating details ….
75-100 : Pretty awesome stuff, will pursue many a cup.
50-75 : Decent, will brew more in the future just not all the time
25-50 : Ehhh…Doesn’t really stand out, probably won’t pursue another cup unless I have to use up the supply.
1-25 : UGH! Won’t drink again. Enough said.
I seem to be a harsh critic when it comes to tea tasting it seems! A tea that has gotten rave reviews doesn’t seem to suit me. I just have to keep trying everything out there to find out what does! Thanks for all your insight Steepsters!
