Sipdown. Purchased: Sep 2017 Midwest teafest
I found this tea to be pretty strongly flavored. I brew a little hotter than temp stated on the packaging. As it’s brewing, peach and strawberry flavors are predominant. Initial sips are peach and strawberry. As it cools, passion fruit makes an appreance. Overall, strawberry is this tea’s flavor. I don’t taste the base at all.
This tea is good for multiple steeps, but it gets to be a little much for me so I’ve been doing 2 steeps and switching to something else. 70

Flavors: Passion Fruit, Peach, Strawberry

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My cupboard is completely out of date.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.
