First tasting
Fresh out of bag and shipment, given no time to breathe yet.

Flavor: woodchips, sweet moss, gentle astringency
Color: rich orange amber
Flavors: Astringent, Leather, Tobacco, Wet Wood
On a journey to learn about tea and experience as much as possible. Interested in the intersections between tea, religion, and critical theory. Love for the leaf.
90-100: I would die for this tea.
80-90: Pretty amazing.
70-80: Pleasant, enjoyable, but doesn’t blow my socks off.
60-70: I like it just fine, but wouldn’t pay very much for it.
50-60: It’s…okay. I’ll finish what I have but I probably won’t repurchase it.
<50: I would discourage people with similar tastes to mine from buying.
If I leave a tea without a rating, it is because I am undetermined and will come back to assess the rating once I’m more familiar with the tea.
