drank Hou Kui by Sweetest Dew
251 tasting notes

Certainly not the worst green tea I’ve ever had (since the bad ones dominate the market…), but working through the bag was a chore. Can withstand higher temps, to a degree. Something about it feels sharp and somewhat rough on the stomach. No one buys tai ping Hou kui or any of these well known greens on the basis of value for cost, of course, but it’s especially hard to argue for this.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!!

As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
