drank Imperial Keemun by Herb Bar
155 tasting notes

I got this Keemun from The Herb Bar in Austin. I’m sure it its re-packaged from a wholesaler, I just don’t know which one. I am a Keemun devotee. Sadly, I dislike this one very, very much. This has an overpowering creosote taste and aroma. I finished it, but was not happy about it and did not resteep. Maybe a second steeping would have been better, but I disliked the first so much that I just couldn’t. It has very sharp edges, which might not be so bad if it didn’t taste like I was drinking tar.

Black/red Chinese teas, pu-erh and oolong hold the keys to my heart.

I don’t care much for flavored teas, especially the fruity varieties. My exceptions are chai and Earl Grey, and apparently now vanilla. Not much love for lapsang souchong either.

I sit squarely on fence with green and white teas.

If I end up in hell, my punishment will be to drink rooibos.
