Brewed in a mug this time. I’m actually getting a little more of the fruity tartness and wine-like flavor that I love in Keemun this way than I was in my gaiwan, which is the opposite of the last Keemun I had.
Flavors: Berries, Black Pepper, Fruity, Green Apple, Melon, Red Wine, Smoked
I mostly drink roasted oolongs, Chinese black tea, Darjeeling, and occasionally sheng puerh, aged white tea, or Japanese green tea. Assam, Ceylon, etc., don’t interest me much, and I don’t like flavored tea except Earl Grey and chai.
I don’t think rating tea is very helpful when everyone rates on a different scale and looks for different things in tea, so I will probably never rate anything I review.
Aside from tea, I also like single origin coffee, wine, and craft beer. Other interests include listening to and making music, music-related electronics, sci-fi and fantasy, writing, and cooking.
