Sweet, creamy, vanilla, dark cocoa – the best descriptors for this fine shu! Very drinkable and enjoyable with no off-putting taste at all. The flavor profile was less developed in the first two steeps but by the third it had picked up and then exploded in the fourth. Half a cake left and I wish White 2 Tea had more.
I drink mostly puer and sometimes what we as Westerners think of as black tea.
I no longer assign numerical ratings to teas because our enjoyment of tea is very subjective. Reactions to a particular tea vary from person to person and within the same person across different tasting sessions.
My tea notes are simply comments reflecting my impression at that specific point in time. They are helpful to me and if they happen to be useful to someone else that is good.
For me, tea is magical with its ability to transform by bringing one back to center and inspiring both peace and contentment.
Reformed coffee drinker. Switched to tea as part of my goal to work on living a healthier, more balanced life — haven’t looked back since.
I’ve got one of these somewhere. Have to find the box it’s in and give it a try.
