Image yourself eating a bowl of fruity pebbles with pickled beets at an old bookshop.

Is it weird that I think that sounds great?

It is great. I like it. I want more. The sample wasn’t enough. haha

Love it.

Super Starling!

I love that you described it in a way that I found horrifying, and then rated it an 85. People have such diverse tastes!

Honestly, these are all flavors that I enjoy. I’m not sure if I enjoyed them together as much as I do individually, but I found them interesting and unusually complex; so complex and unusual that I couldn’t commit to rating it lower than a 70, nor higher than an 85. I could’ve rated it an 80, but as the tea session continued, the notes of the tea developed into “fruity pebbles in an old bookshop.” I described the initial taste here, but each steep was a new experience; thus resulting with a higher rating. If the tea hadn’t developed from this initial note, it may have found itself standing at an 75-80. However, due to the nature of the complexity and development of the flavor throughout, I had to rate it moderately high.

Drinking down a lot of my teas in 2020. I may not observe these sessions as much as I’d like, but I’ll note them, when the mood strikes.
