Xingyang Chrysanthemum Pu'er from Verdant Tea

DaisyChubb drank Xingyang Chrysanthemum Pu'er by Verdant Tea

I enjoy this as a relaxing brew,

but lately we have no groceries, out of seasoning salt and soya sauce – all we have is rice! So I made up some rice with this tea, it’s amazing. I added a pinch of salt and a pat of butter. It’s creamy, nutty and full of flavour. Win!

Awesome…glad there are more people who cook with tea. Try mashed potatoes with Lapsang :)

Great idea. We’re having as part of our dinner tonight, and I’m going to try this.

I’ve baked with my tea a lot, but rarely just straight up rice. I wish I had some lapsang, I have nooo smoky teas anymore as I gave them all away. oops!

Nice Veronica, enjoy your amazing dinner!

My fav is genmaicha tea with butter melted in it. I pour this sauce on spaghetti squash, but I bet it’s good on rice too.

Ohhh I’ve been meaning to pick up a spaghetti squash once we have money for real food! My body is craving nutrition <3

Mashed Potatoes with Lapsang sounds really good. I need to try that for sure.

Profile

Bio

You can call me Daisy.

I’m a 24 year old (not so budding) thespian – just moved to the Maritimes from the Saskatchewan Prairies. I’m way too polite, aka Proud to be a Canadian. I love it here by the water – it must remind me of tea or something ;)

My favourite tea companies are DavidsTea and Verdant Tea. They please my palette in different ways – and I love them both for it.

My rating system is as follows:
95-100: I will stock it as soon as I can, if I haven’t already! Permanent collection worthy.

86-95: I would stock this tea if I could, but my collection is just too full to warrant it. But it is that good.

76-85: This is a tasty tea and I will have many cups and share with friends, but won’t go out of my way to keep it stocked.

50-75: It was alright! It was… alright! Not horrible, but I might not re-steep.

25-50: Ew. But I will finish the cup.

1-25: Please no, I want to dump it.

The Steepster community is my safe place. Thank you to all my tea friends!
