Sip down! Mixed with a bit of H&S Stanley’s blend to up the robustness. Enjoyed my cup, but also happy to remove the tea from my Steepster cupboard. I am never going to clean out my cupboard at the rate I’m going.

Malty, yummy. I don’t think I’ve tried straight Darjeeling yet, so I can’t notice the effect it has on the blend here, besides the blend being slightly less robust than I would expect.

Don’t know how I haven’t logged this tea before. I suppose I do most of my steepster activity while at work, and this is an at-home tin, for now.

This is fantastic!

My first cup, and I really like it. Brews much darker than I expected. As other reviewers noted, it’s very vegetal, very grassy. Smells earthy. Just a very green cup, overall.

I love it so far. Let’s see how the caffeine hits me.

Other half of the last 鐵觀音 packet.

Also had a rose oolong bubble tea with grass jelly last night. Awesome!

I like this steeped in cooler water. Maybe even 80 or so.

Was too lazy to wait for the boiling water to cool, so I just poured in tap water and topped off with the boiling. I don’t regret it, but it IS a different experience. I may have put in a bit too much cold water, though.

Bumping the rating, because I am growing fonder of this tea with every cup.

Next time I drink this will be a sipdown, if I’m understanding the terminology correctly. I like smelling the brewed tea better than drinking it.

edit: No, this was my sipdown! Gave the rest to a coworker :)

I really ought to branch out from this as my morning tea. I just love it so :(

Another foil 鐵觀音 packet! Should’ve taken a picture before tearing. Ah well.
