Not loving this. It’s pretty smokey, though not as bad as the Mincing Lane Breakfast Blend I tried and gave away last week. I bought an absolutely (to me) enormous bag of it because there wasn’t a sample size — 4.4 oz. Will probably offer to send it to someone on the Discussions board, unless someone reading my tasting notes would like it :)

Yunnan teas are nice teas! Very earthy, rich, and smokey (in the woodsy sense of the word; not the campfire taste that a Lapsang has).They have a tendency to have a pu-erh kind of taste. If you’re looking for a good black tea without the smokey taste, try something like an Earl Grey (or anything flavored). However, I know a majority of my friends who like tea, but not black tea (although they want to like it) go with something with flavor, or an oolong.

I don’t have a lot of time for doing tea reviews, so I think I’m going to simplify by using this system to track whether or not to repurchase a tea:

100 = LOVE, absolutely need to repurchase
90 = Really like, will repurchase
80 = Like, might repurchase
70 = Didn’t really like, wouldn’t repurchase
60 = Really didn’t like
