i’ve had this a few times now and it’s just not the same tea that it was. I’m wondering if my taste buds have shifted or if this is just a new harvest from the first time i bought it. Will have to keep playing with it, but if it remains this way, i’m likely to pass this on to someone else as i just don’t love it like i used to.

When did you buy this one? I have one fr last July I love. I bought some in last December. I don’t think I tried it
spreadhseet says i picked this up in december :)
Ok. I should compare them sometime. So many times older harvests are better new ones :(
please do! i’m curious if it’s me or the tea lol
A year ago, this was my experience: http://steepster.com/looseTman/posts/257693. However, I don’t know when the very generous Scribbles purchased it.
July 2014, I purchased 250g of this tea due to my experience above. I enjoyed it, but unfortunately it was not as milk chocolatey as my original sample.

Per yyz:
“I like them both and find them really different animals. This one is like Cookies described really chocolatey and rich ( I have only had some Lapsang that were as chocolatey or more so). Whereas Tao’s tea reminds me a lot of one of my favourite jinjunmei with a deeper nuttier undercurrent. I would like to keep both in my cupboard. At its current prices buying from the producer this is a very affordable tea.”
