Now that I’ve reviewed many, many teas, it’s time to simplify things for the reader a bit. It would be helpful to have a way to quickly scan through the reviews quantitatively, as opposed to reading through each individial entry’s qualitative statements, don’t you think? Of course, I would love for readers to read each review, but just in case you need to quickly sort through the teas, here’s something to help. Besides, it seems to me that the vast majority of teas fall in the medium-good range, and I need to have a way to separate those out as well.
I have decided to rate each tea on a scale of 1.0 to 10.0, and allow for increments of 0.5 as well, to truly separate out all of the teas that I sort of like. An explanation for the numbers is in order:
10.0 –> Tea nirvana.
9.0 –> Exceptionally high quality tea.
8.0 –> Very good quality tea.
7.0 –> Good tea.
6.0 –> Quite drinkable.
5.0 –> Mediocre. Nothing to write home about.
4.0 –> Would not recommend.
3.0 –> Drink this if you are in a real pinch.
2.0 –> Drink if there’s no bathwater.
1.0 –> Goat vomit.
