Part of the W2T club –
100ml gaiwan, 200F, 4.6g
Dry leaf – flowery
Overall this tea was thick, sweet, floral and oily. Towards the end of the session, it became mineral, coating and dry.
I got 8 steeps from it.
The second session – 190F, 75ml teapot
Super floral and sweet, plus buttery. I liked this better at a lower temperature. Yummy. Lingering floral and sweet aftertaste. Very nice oolong.
Flavors: Butter, Drying, Floral, Mineral, Sweet, Thick
I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.
I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.
I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.
I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.
My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.
Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
