The leaves are quite dark, but it brews a light yellow-orange. Fruity notes of citrus and banana, roasty notes of toasted barley and almonds. Lesser medicinal notes of ginseng, cannabis, and mineral. Just a hint of smoke, more like a burning match than a bonfire.
Good tea.

Tea addict since around 2011.
My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.
Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.
Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.
I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.

I am on the third day of the Infected Tuo. Seems to brew forever.
Wow, darn I didn’t order a sample of that one
