4.5g, 90 ml. another session with more choppy/broken leaf bits from my cake.

1. pretty smoky, berry forward and some fruit. Fills mouth and extends into throat and is fairly satisfying strong brew

2. stronger more forward smoke, woody. TCM medicinal, slight sweetness

3. still very smoky. Trailing underlying bitterness mostly dissolves into goji berry taste

4. berry forward lingers.

5. sweet, turning into stewed leaf taste

Overall felt more rough on stomach today, though I’ve been fairly weak and really sensitive to caffeine in general lately so really taking it easy these days.

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!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.

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.
