Like the box says – bright, aromatic and lemony. Pretty mild herbaceous-rooty taste. Definitely needs 2 bags to a mug.

Yaaaaaaay, derk! I haven’t seen you in forever! I miss you!

Yes, it’s good to see you back on Steepster! :)

Hello, friends :) How are you? What’s the most memorable tea you’ve had lately?

Because of Leafhopper’s high praises, I splurged on several green teas from Seven Cups this year and have been making my way through those. The Meng Ding Mao Feng (Feather Peak) really stood out to me and I hope to review it soon enough. I’ll be roadtripping to Arizona in October for a wedding and would love to stop by Seven Cups’ physical shop in Tucson.

I have 2 kittens on my chest as I type this!

Kittens??? More about kitties, please!

I’m doing okay. My most memorable teas this summer have been the Gu Zhu Zi Sun from Seven Cups and some green teas from The Sweetest Dew. I also bought two teas from Meng Ding, a green and a yellow, but I forget what they’re called. The Meng Ding Jin Jun Mei from Camellia Sinensis was also quite good. I’d spend way too much money if I ever ended up in the Seven Cups store!

Congratulations on your new kittens!

Kittens?! Picks or it didn’t happen. :-)

My mother was recently gifted by the Cat Distribution System, and said cat turned out to be a nursing mother (likely dumped in the forest near my mom’s yard for being preggars). She only brought around a single kitten (probably the only survivor of the litter) so my mom decided to take in both momma and son. They sure are stinkin’ cute.

My old lady has been prescribed liver meds and since I live alone and have no friends or family nearby, trying to medicate her by myself has proved an impossible task. Every day is a battle. Anyone out there want to come to Southern Idaho to hold a cat? Can pay in tea.

I am happy to see you here again! Sumibi Houjicha that you shared with me stands out of the teas I had recently. As I am working recently late and come home late, I prefer to drink caffeine-free teas or herbals and I have a plenty of Basilur fruit infusions with me and they are also great.

Profile

Bio

This place, like the rest of the internet, is dead and overrun with bots. Yet I persist.

Eventual tea farmer. If you are a tea grower, want to grow your own plants or are simply curious, please follow me so we can chat.

I most enjoy loose-leaf, unflavored teas and tisanes. Teabags have their place. Some of my favorite teas have a profound effect on mind and body rather than having a specific flavor profile.

Favorite teas generally come from China (all provinces), Taiwan, India (Nilgiri and Manipur). Frequently enjoyed though less sipped are teas from Georgia, Japan, and Nepal. While I’m not actively on the hunt, a goal of mine is to try tea from every country that makes it available to the North American market. This is to gain a vague understanding of how Camellia sinensis performs in different climates. I realize that borders are arbitrary and some countries are huge with many climates and tea-growing regions.

I’m convinced European countries make the best herbal teas.

Personal Rating Scale:

100-90: A tea I can lose myself into. Something about it makes me slow down and appreciate not only the tea but all of life or a moment in time. If it’s a bagged or herbal tea, it’s of standout quality in comparison to similar items.

89-80: Fits my profile well enough to buy again.

79-70: Not a preferred tea. I might buy more or try a different harvest. Would gladly have a cup if offered.

69-60: Not necessarily a bad tea but one that I won’t buy again. Would have a cup if offered.

59-1: Lacking several elements, strangely clunky, possesses off flavor/aroma/texture or something about it makes me not want to finish.

Unrated: Haven’t made up my mind or some other reason. If it’s puerh, I likely think it needs more age.
