5/90. bought a quarter cake from Puerh uk a while back after seeing mattcha’s review. we’ll see how future sessions are, but this one was incredibly disappointing for the price. I haven’t tried too many CYHs and def not often enough (so pricy!!) to draw definite conclusions though. started as a light bitter sour to a woody minty sweetness, with a dried cherry like and slight medicinal note. subsequent steeps had no development and remained a straightforward woody with some sweetness. mugged it after a few steeps, and it reached the leaf taste rather quickly. will try again in a few months, but RH shouldn’t be an issue since it’s been sitting with other samples and bovedas for months since it arrived. No feeling except for caffeine and the blood sugar drop

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.
As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
