not gonna lie, the 2023 snoozefest totally tastes like a 15$ cake. not unpleasant, but no real complexity or depth to it. flavor is more vegetal than the leaf aroma suggests and the whole thing is kind of faint and weak. it gets mogged hard by every other raw I'm drinking right now. I guess I should have expected this, but I got memed by the "40$ cake for 15$!" marketing and expected a bit more

I think I'm just gonna forget about it for a year or two and see if it improves

cracked into the 2023 Snoozefest. getting a straw/grassy and fruity character, decently thick body. pretty soft, bitterness is on the low side. got some hints of vanilla and a sort of soapiness. aftertaste is a bit drying
nothing special, but totally an easily acceptable tea. I wonder if it might improve in a couple of months. it's too bad that I finished my sample of Bangwai Small Trees, it would make a nice comparison

speaking of that, my little order of one Snoozefest and one Lumber Slut just arrived in my city and is undergoing customs! if all goes well, I should have my tea soon
