Um, I go back and forth on this one. Some days I don’t know what I like. Am I or am I not into smoky green tea? It’s become like a deep philosophical riddle for me. Also, I think I steeped this slightly too long, so that’s not helping me decide.

I had this for the first time today. It was the first smoky green tea I’ve had I think, and I liked it quite a bit. Some days I like some teas better than others though, so I get the going back and forth part. :)

I saw that and I really enjoyed your review! The first time I tried this tea I really liked it too, because it’s so unique. But now that I’m on the last sample packet of it, I’m trying to decide whether I like it enough to buy a whole 100 grams of it. It’s starting to feel more like a once-in-awhile tea to me. The flavor is good, but I’m not really into that drying effect it has on my mouth and throat. I’m drinking the re-steep now and I’m still on the fence. Oh well, I have two cups worth left of it. Hopefully by the time that’s gone I’ll have made up my mind up. Let me know how you feel once you’ve had a few more cups :)

I also find it hard to decide which ones will be restocks, and I’m glad to have more than one sample pack so can taste them again on other days as well. It would be nice though if all their teas came in 50 gram sizes as that seems a better amount to get for those once in awhile teas.

Wouldn’t that be nice? 50 grams doesn’t seem like such a huge commitment.
