From Klasek Tea

Distinctively processed tea from a Nepalese organic and biodynamic garden Jun Chiyabari located in the Dhankuta region. Wonderfully processed, slightly rolled, and fully oxidized leaves of very dark color and with a light sweet chocolate aroma, full of pleasant floral tones. Sparkling golden-red in a cup with a velvety soft and pleasant malty flavor with tones of cocoa. HIB is mainly produced in the peak of summer, so this spring harvested teaRead more

I was editing my review for this tea to add a few tasting notes. While I had the pop-up window open, I accidentally swiped right or left on my touchpad and that deleted any history of my review. Except I can see that a “review”# still exists in the admin site but the accompanying “note”# is gone. I wonder what is the difference between a “review” and a “note” in Steepster’s programming.

So to anybody who swears they’ve reviewed a tea but “Steepster ate the note”, this might be how it happened.

Okay, this is the least expected explanation I read about Steepster eating notes.
Ecactly as you said…. _"what is the difference between a ‘review’ and a ’note’"? We will never find out I am afraid!

I have very same tea from What-cha in my wishlist and bought a pouch of this; from Klasek Tea. So, naturally I can’t compare them side by side; that would be interesting.

Anyway, this is FF 2023 (so not that fresh anymore), steeped 5 grams (a bit too much maybe…) western style in 300 ml of water that used to be boiling, but cooled down to 90°C. Roughly 4 minutes steeping (which was a bit over vendor suggestion as well)

Definitely lighther hand next time will be better; but still it is tasty! Strong cocoa notes, aroma of candied fruits and florals. Mouthfeel long, smooth malty (dark malts and caramel malts), roasted barley and with hints of astringency and bitterness, like high percentage chocolate or stout beer (that’s something that Crowkettle notices on What-cha’s tea and it is true for this tea too). Reading other tea notes doesn’t help me much as it wasn’t definitely woody or green pepepr notes aren’t here either. Maybe because it’s FF; or/and different harvest year.

I can see why derk likes Nepalese teas and it is second most favourite region of black teas for me, Georgia being the first.
