Small round balls of tea, easy to scoop and measure.
Pleasant, Malty smell before brewing.
But the malty taste doesn’t come thru in the brewed tea as well as some other Golden Snail I’ve had. A tad tannic for the plain teas I make (no milk or sugar); this may be better steeped a bit longer and then able to push thru the sugar and/or cream OK.
Security Engineer, Woodworker, Hiker, Electronics/Computer Geek (one of those). Started drinking tea @ 8 when my older brother got me a teapot from England while in the Air Force, never drank coffee (well, tried it once – hotel coffee – awful).
Am adding a rating system:
95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had. Best of the best.
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, something
|| to go in the rotation of having on
|| hand regularly to enjoy.
80-89:
|| Light “wow”, something distinctive
|| about it. Prime example of a “type”
|| of good tea experience.
70-79:
|| Good tea, had something above average
|| But no “wow” factor.
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable
|| but nothing special. Not worth
|| buying again.
50-59:
|| If Im in the right mood, maybe it’s OK
|| If I need space on the shelf, may give
|| it away.
25-49:
|| Somebody else may like it,
|| just not me.
0-24:
|| I doubt anyone would enjoy this.
|| Something I would toss before
|| drinking again.
Borrowed format and heavily modified from “Mackie”.
Thanks for the idea!
