I love using the journal, though for me, it's a tea journal. Luckily, the ratings and characteristics are similar in many ways, so it still works. I'd still love to see a 'Tea' version of these books, though, because they are fun to use. I don't really think of myself as a conneisseur, but I do drink many varieties of loose leaf tea from all over the world, and this book has been a fun, analog way to highlight some of my tea times and rememeber which I prefer, or not.
