drank Queen Catherine by Harney & Sons
148 tasting notes

Medium chopped mixed black tea.
Nice “classic black tea” nose to the raw tea.
With a short steep (I use no milk or sugar), it’s a nice light black tea. No one taste that stands out or differentiates it from the mainline black teas, but nice and smooth and not tannic.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 1 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

The Queen has been with me through thick and thin. Most memorably the year preceding a cancer diagnosis and through treatment. Long love the Queen!

I see in your bio you are a woodworker! We are not far away from you and Ashman loves woodworking and has taken a number of classes with Roy Underhill’s Woodwright’s School! Small world.

Security Engineer, Woodworker, Hiker, Electronics/Computer Geek (one of those). Started drinking tea @ 8 when my older brother got me a teapot from England while in the Air Force, never drank coffee (well, tried it once – hotel coffee – awful).
Am adding a rating system:
95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had. Best of the best.
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, something
|| to go in the rotation of having on
|| hand regularly to enjoy.
80-89:
|| Light “wow”, something distinctive
|| about it. Prime example of a “type”
|| of good tea experience.
70-79:
|| Good tea, had something above average
|| But no “wow” factor.
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable
|| but nothing special. Not worth
|| buying again.
50-59:
|| If Im in the right mood, maybe it’s OK
|| If I need space on the shelf, may give
|| it away.
25-49:
|| Somebody else may like it,
|| just not me.
0-24:
|| I doubt anyone would enjoy this.
|| Something I would toss before
|| drinking again.
Borrowed format and heavily modified from “Mackie”.
Thanks for the idea!
