drank Naked Yiwu 001 by Teas We Like
298 tasting notes

4.8g/90/212. last of my 25g sample. I had to leave my cake at home since I couldn’t fit it in my backpack this time around.

wet leaf after rinse has some berry, slight smoke, and vegetal tinge.

started w/ goji berry and hawthorn flake candy notes and then shifted to tannic taste of oversteeping hongcha/malty notes. can be floral on edges. a little tart and some salivation + a little stilling feeling before just caffeinating. overall, petered out fairly quickly today. part of it may be that I should prob hold off on drinking shengs until i get a holding temp hot box set up since my apartment is very cold and shengs haven’t seemed too happy with it.

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.
