294 tasting notes

Moving along these advents at my own speed and I’m really enjoying just letting that happen this year.

Another interesting national park tea that has faint echoes of the last, but is much improved in my opinion. Here I also get some slightly sweet hay, but between the green tea base and the blueberry it’s definitely more of a background flavor than a dominant one. I am picky about blueberry in general and I’m a fan of this version. It almost makes me feel like I’m eating a blueberry jam cookie.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
