This was good, but I don’t know that I need to purchase it again.

Decided to revisit some August Uncommon blends. I really wanted to like this, but it just never quite measured up to what I was hoping for. The synthetic amaretto flavor was a bit too intense. Not quite the 38 I previously gave it, but not great.

Definitely better when the bag was freshly opened.

Oof, still pretty low on the sipdowns for this year. But, this is an old one. Bought a beautiful set of individual tea bags in London from a TWG store ~10 years ago. Still lots of flavor, but not my favorite jasmine.

Flavors: Hay, Jasmine

This is all blackberry/huckleberry. Not getting any juniper (or anything herbal), but the berry flavor is nice.

Hadn’t enjoyed this tea in quite awhile, but it still tastes just as cakey and delicious as I remember.

Can’t recall if I have another bag of this, so logging as a sip down for now. So tasty and reliable.

This last one wasn’t quite as tasty as the previous, a bit flat and bland tasting.

Oof these sip downs are few and far between. This one was a bit past its prime, but not terrible. A lot of the qualities I love in a BaoZhong have diminished a bit.
