5.9g, 100 mL roc Zini pot. 212f. 2 rinses. Not as strong medicinal taste as before, smoothed out a bit and somewhat sweeter. Better texture today, not sure if water (Brita filtered tap, per usual) or pot. Nice floral in aftertaste at one point, but fleeting. Still can hit the floral grassy note to some degree. Still not sold on this one. It’s pretty mediocre and seems to die off quickly. Not sure if it’s a pot thing, water, or my brewing, but pots seem to make teas die off quicker for me. Maybe it’s just also that I’ve burned myself one too many times so I’ve developed the habit of spending less time focused in response (let the pot sit on gongdaobei usually to pour) and that makes the time seem to fly by too.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.
As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.

I have a sample of this one I need to try as well.
