I don’t think I could properly give this a rating. I was so disappointed by the way the meeting went that I could not remember enough to put a number to it. I hate to admit it, but all of the steepings were awful. The bitterness and astrincency were so prominent that not much else was trying to get through. We did discuss it’s potency and earthiness, we even agreed on the strong black coffee and tobacco notes. The other teas we tried went the same route. sigh.

Ugh that sounds so awful. Tea Share Guy sounds like an insufferable ass.
Have you checked to see if your local non-tea friends are actually tea friends? I’ve met one local person on Steepster, but then discovered posting on FB that a whole lot of my local friends from other scenes are also really into tea.
I sadly tend to meet these types of people in my other hobbies. They’re all concerned about the most expensive or newest toys with little or no interest in the actual product they’re producing. What’s the point? He sounds unbearable.
How dreadful! He could have learned a lot, (and had better tea) if he hadn’t had that holier-than-thou attitude.
I’m sorry it was such a unfortunate experience. Life is too short for toxic people. You deserve better, much better! Aren’t you glad you have so many positive & encouraging Steepster friends! Anlina’s suggestion sounds like a very good possibility. You could also be a tea evangelist – one who exposes others to the joy of good-quality loose tea. It can be rewarding to cultivate a love of tea in others.
Perhaps you (Denver) and Bonnie (Ft. Collins) could meet half way and share some tea?
I’m so sorry hahaha this sounds horrible xD
Thanks guys. Like Tman said, I am SO glad I have my steepster peeps! You guys really get me.
