Backlog. I tried this three times all westren. I just haven’t had time to gongfu lately.
1st time
3m- roasted (slightly) with minor flower notes, creamy. I’m sensitive to roasted teas so I was glad that this wasn’t overwhelming.
3m – sweet, creamy, flower – violet?
2nd time – sweet, vegetal, roasted
3rd – floral, faintly sweet, roasted. It was the most floral on the last steeping.

I felt like maybe I missed something, but I don’t like the tea enough to reorder in order to try it gong fu. Sipdown.

Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Roasted, Sweet, Vegetal, Violet

Bio

I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.

I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.

I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.

I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.

My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.

Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
