Ya know, it’s just not that special. To me, it’s not worth the premium price it commands. I’m starting to realize that for my regular daily drinking, I’m going to have to find 2 or 3 pretty basic teas (like a basic Keemun, a basic Yunnan golden tip, and a basic Taiwanese oolong), and then have a few over-the-top spectacular ones that I treat myself to once in a while. (See Butiki.) This tea would not fit into any of those categories, so I don’t think I will purchase it again.

It’s tough but I have to watch it too.
Things are going down the way they did when I first got into tea in 2006. (Took a break from 2010-now.) Basically, I went crazy trying 4 million different teas for a couple of months, and then I settled into just a few.
I have quite a bit of tea, but I have favorites and a limited amount to spend on tea. I keep an eye open for free samples (the last tea I reviewed freom teajo was one of those). Value to me is also in the quality. It’s a waste if I don’t like the tea or can’t resteep it. A few good friends to swap with are valued assets, especially when you find ones that have similar taste in tea or who have interests that you’d like to try. When I cup out artificially flavored tea, my enjoyment increased.
