106 tasting notes

Mystery tea from LP labeled enigmatically only as “2014 Yancha”, thanks for the treat, LP! 100ml ru gaiwan to about ~7g of tea, 205F water. This was really good, already had those deep caramel aged flavors starting to come out of the roast, although the rough roasted edges were only just starting to smooth out. Still a rougher throat feel as a result, but lovely sticking sweetness in the throat, thick body, and the flavor still has the good rock yancha taste with just a hint of fruitiness that ramps up as it opens up. Really enjoyed this, I could definitely see myself getting more—if only I knew where it was from! Alas!

Flavors: Caramel, Fruity, Roasted, Wet Rocks

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 7 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

This is a tea I’m aging myself. I sell it for a decent price. Won’t be until 2019 that I open up my aged oolong store.

Favorite Tea Type: Darker oolong and sheng puerh

Rating Scale:

90-100: Amazing. Will buy and keep on hand all the time if finances and circumstances allow.

80-89: Strong argument for keeping it around all the time, even more than the prospect of trying more new tea. It’s that good.

70-79: Pretty solid. Glad I tried it, several factors that were unique or that I highly enjoyed.

60-69: Nothing that stands out for the most part, but with a quality or two that speaks to me.

50-59: Fairly run of the mill, pleasant but not much more to be said.

40-49: Something here is off putting in an otherwise decent tea.

30-39: There are a few things wrong with this tea. I did not enjoy.

20-29: Disliked this, could maybe see something, some redeeming quality in it others might find worth drinking without spitting back out.

10-19: Begin to question whether any tea is actually, in fact, better than no tea.

0-9: This causes actual food poisoning.
