Bio
I’ve been drinking loose tea since 2010 and my tastes have changed a lot over those years. For the last few, I’ve been a fan of unflavoured Chinese blacks and shu puerh. I still drink other things, but that’s where I am.
I live in a rural area with my husband, cat, and soon to be firstborn. I love tea, reading, doctor who, knitting, crosswords, board games, the marvel universe, and lots of other things.
I’m not often rating teas numerically any more but I want to leave this to explain my past ratings:
I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.
81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn’t stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don’t make me finish the cup.

Oh, this is one of our favorites! We have a bag waiting for us…if only I could lose those last few pounds! It’s my reward, you see. Anyway, my wife and I are both ape for this oolong…I’m crazy for any oolong, actually. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
I wasn’t a big fan of it the first time I tried it, but I quite enjoyed it today. My tea tastes have changed tremendously in the last two months of paying close attention. Good luck with weight loss…if I couldn’t have favourite teas until I lost weight I think I would be extremely motivated! : )
