I bought this because it was cheap. So so super cheap. The good stuff (high-quality yancha) is known for being quite expensive, so I figured if this tea was decent it would be a good daily drinker to take to school.
I got 4.5 oz for $8. It’s pretty astringent. Medium roasted, so at least it wasn’t over-roasted to cover up any weird flavors. I don’t get any rock taste. It’s pretty one note, not very floral or chocolaty.Overall this tea’s meh. I got what I payed for and it made me really appreciate the more expensive stuff I buy. However, this will be fine for sipping in French class.
