I’m trying to get back into adding logs again…Life has been wild. Not the bad type of wild, but the type that catches up to you all at once (work, friends, etc.). I feel like not writing or reading reviews is like not calling or texting friends. Sure, I’m active on IG, however, Steepster is the foundation for my tea journey. It is where my thrill for tea took the further plunge into this endless abyss called “CommuniTea.” With that said, thank you to those who’ve stuck around and those who keep on with their posting – it’s giving me plenty to catch up on – and just being here to drink and share tea! :)
Tea Review Time:
My experience with aged tea is limited. I’d love to have the money to afford to drink the “older” stuff; unfortunately, my funds and taste are relevant to most of the newer/fresher teas on the market. Buy it now and save it for later, I suppose. I’m getting better at drinking every little sample sitting in my hoarded pile (hoarded might be too strong of a word, as I’m sure, most tea heads are holding onto their goodies for a long time). Ha-Ha.
Yes, yes, I’m getting into the review now.
Aroma: Leather, moss, earthy, damp paper, old books, beets, & wet earth.
Tasting Notes: The tea was quite nice. There were notes of woodiness, beets, gasoline (whatever that means), paper, a little bitterness, and eventually astringency.
Feeling: Qi so heavy I floated my way toward the end of the workday.
PS. I’m afraid to rate this too highly on the account I enjoyed it, yet, it’ll be the last of it, forever. Thank you W2T for giving me this moment.
Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Earthy, Leather, Moss, Paper, Wet Earth, Woody
