294 tasting notes

This was definitely a richer green tea than the last couple have been, but despite the stronger profile I got absolutely no bitterness in either steep. It is smooth and even, with a profile that mostly feels like grass (and after reading their notes, I’d agree with the seaweed as well). I could see this working quite well with a meal; it seems like it would stand out even among other strong flavors but would not be overwhelming in the midst of them.

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.
