80

I wrote a somewhat negative review of this last year with the advent, but I’m surprised by it – this is actually a tea I have in my cupboard because I’ve liked it! And I liked it again this time, so who knows what was going on.

I tend to forget about my tea and oversteep it, which is obviously more of a problem with the more sensitive blends and most pure teas. I’m learning though! Pulled up at just before 3 minutes, I still had more bitterness than I generally prefer, but mostly a toasted spinach & grass flavor. Actually, it reminds me a lot of a favorite spinach & pine nut salad somehow, which is one reason I bought more.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
