drank Tong Tian Xiang by Camellia Sinensis

2021 sipdown no. 65

This started out okay. There was the mineral taste with not much that I could specifically pinpoint in the background. But as the tea cooled it got more and more bitter.

I just saw this note and agree with you about the bitterness. I probably won’t buy this again. If it ever comes back in stock, their Man Lou Xiang is worth buying if you like greener, more floral Dan Congs.

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
