Does Verdant not do flavoured tea anymore? I guess it’s been a while since I checked out Verdant Tea.. I was on the fence on whether or not to order more, and now the decision has been made for me!
This one is getting on in age too, which was made even more clear to me today after looking at Verdant’s website. I’ve been rotating pots of this with Whispering Pine’s Fujian Black, as both of those are showing signs of wasting away.
I’ll miss this when it’s gone. It’s very smooth and easy to drink. The chocolate and malt notes are emphasized artfully with the additional ingredients, to the effect that it’s smooth and roasty like a genmaicha. It’s main downfall is that it sometimes goes into “dirt” terrain.
Flavors: Chocolate, Dirt, Roasted Barley, Toasted Rice

Verdant did stop making blends – this was a good one. You can get the version from Liquid Proust Teas which is based on the same blend and just as good ..or better. :)

Thanks, caile! Glad to know this blend lives on in another form. Looking forward to ordering more now, and I get to try out another company to boot :)
