WHOA. This is so complex oh my god this is unique! I.. okay so okay uh

fruit, spices, chocolate, its super sweet and almost floral slightly? but also like peach and apples and uh theres cinnamon and chocolate and vanilla and strawberry, and it’s nutty and it’s dark but it’s very very sweet and that’s just the first steep,

It’s got a really delicious apple pie kind of a profile, oh my god this tea seriously I’m in love

later steeps are more like a berry kind of pie, it’s very pie like. almost jammy as well, think black/blueberry, seriously pick some of this up if you get the chance. Simply wonderful

As the flavour fades, it clears out into a nice cinnamon and floral, dark tea, which is also really really nice

EDIT: I think the last time I brewed this one, I didn’t continue the session long enough, because the flavour seems to last forever, I got over 3 Liters easily in my last session, which is phenomenal, anyways I just wanted to add that after the cinnamon and floral dark tea, there are fruity notes, basically it tastes like a nice grape black tea which is so good and it just stays like that for so long, I didn’t have the session end, because it was at my friend’s place, using her gaiwan, and I had to head home after hours of drinking it. Also the leaves are gorgeous! they’re so long and twisted, with absolutely no breakage in my whole package; some leaves are like 2 inches long easily, and they took most of my session to fully untwist, and even when they did I was still looking at them just in love this tea is such a treat.

Flavors: Apple, Berries, Blackberry, Blueberry, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Floral, Fruity, Grapes, Jam, Nutty, Strawberry, Sweet, Vanilla

Hey :) welcome to my steeps!
I really only ever drink straight teas, every once and a while I might have something flavoured, but odds are I won’t ever write about any of those. All of my reviews are done using my 120ml gaiwan unless otherwise specified.

I’m mostly into Sheng, Red tea and Oolongs right now, but I also can enjoy greens and whites sometimes.

My cupboard is NOT up to date. I tried for a while, but it’s too much effort, and so many of the teas I have just aren’t on here and eh.

Rating System:

95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had; I’m definitely planning to
|| restock
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, I’ll restock if
|| I’m planning to make a purchase
|| from this company anyways, if
|| not I’m alright living without it
80-89:
|| Very good tea, I’d be more than
|| happy to sip again, though it’s
|| not likely I’ll be repurchasing
70-79:
|| Good tea, I drank it happily,
|| though I might not be reaching
|| for it again in my cupboard
|| for a long while
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable and
|| it’s probably going to be
|| gathering dust in my cupboard
|| for a while
50-59:
|| I struggled through the tea,
|| but managed to finish the
|| session, will probably be giving
|| it away to a friend.
25-49:
|| I cut the session short, but
|| I think it’s possible for one to
|| have enjoyed it, it’s just really
|| low quality
0-24:
|| No one should enjoy drinking
|| this, and I would have no
|| problem throwing it out.

*This system is used on my first 100 reviews, I’ve decided not to rate teas anymore because I’m definitely not qualified to be objective about quality yet and it’s just pointlessly subjective numbers and that’s not really helping anyone
