tasting notes

  • 1.5 tsp + 200 mL boiling water + 5 min.
    • BAD. the child of ceylon and prince of Wales blend who inherited their worst traits. weak, anemic taste with a light broth. has an unpleasant aftertaste: like ceylon, but duller, more floral, and less refreshing.
    • with sugar: sweetened, but otherwise no difference.
    • with milk and sugar: maltier flavor peaks...

  • In Order to Love My Most Beloved Brother-In-Law, I'll Live a Long Life!: terrible animation style.
  • The Daughter of the Demon Lord Is Too Kind!: nothing actually wrong with it. overly sweet feel-good stories with children just generally aren't my cup of tea, and the production quality of this hasn't change that.
  • Hikuidori: terrible animation.
  • The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer: too slow and meandering. expected the wholesome slice-of-life to be contrasted with actual gore, but did not deliver.
  • A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation : a bit bland and meandering for my taste. lots of plain exposition via talking heads. very interested in the kinds of stories the protagonist would get into and resolve if he was in his element.
