I’ve been really working on drinking down my green teas. Those teas are my least drunk overall and tend to be very old.

1st time – 5/10/18
185F, 5g, 200ml glass teapot
smells of green beans, peas
10s/10/20/30/45/1min/2
fuzzy thick texture, cotton, mouth fells silky – faint hint of sweetness
This is a texture tea, mouth coating with an aftertaste of sweetness.

2nd time. 6/18/19
So I did a dumb thing and left this open and exposed to air.
1 min, 170F?
faded, faint sweetness, vague green something, kinda creamy

Flavors: Green Beans, Peas, Sweet, Thick

Bio

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My cupboard is completely out of date.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.
