Argh! I had a whole long note on this one and it closed on me. Essentially, I like this tea, but not nearly as much as Laoshan Black. It tastes mostly grain-y and potato-y to me, not chocolatey or honey-y. :) I steeped it 5 times, and by the 3rd steep it was tasting a little sweeter, but not by much. I did enjoy how smooth this tea went down, however. Really nice.

I love tea. I first tasted loose leaf when my grandpa brought some back from Russia and I remember just savoring it. Not sure what kind it was; all I remember is that it was loose leaf and it was good. =)
I really enjoy oolong, jasmine tea, and white tea. I especially love those black teas with chocolate notes! Also, chai is a constant favorite. I enjoy green tea, but need to be in the mood for it to actually want it.
As far as tisanes go, I enjoy chamomile and occasionally a mint. I am interested to try rooibus and honey bush. I do prefer teas without artificial flavoring but I’m willing to try most things.
I know next to nothing about puerh, but I like what I have tried so far.
I am consistently amazed at the flavors contained in one leaf. I am on a quest to discover all of them! Slowly, though. Good tea is expensive. :P
Other things I enjoy: Books. My family. Truth. Campfires. Animal Rescue. Gardening. Sushi. Mountain biking. Documentaries. Trees. Music. Culture. Sour cream raisin pie. Not necessarily in that order. :P
