drank Golden Fleece by Verdant Tea
423 tasting notes

Working on a paper, and drinking this wonderful old friend. I haven’t had much time for tea lately, and I’ve missed it. It’s 31 humid degrees Celsius outside, but the air-con is on, and this tea is sweetening this difficult task.
If I had to recommend buying one tea from Verdant, it would be a tough call between this and their wonderful Laoshan Black. Laoshan would probably win by a small margin, but this is still a highly, highly recommended tea.
I had a food literature course this semester (yes, English lit is that fun), and I brought in this tea for a tasting. It was a hit success, even in sub-par brewing conditions, and no sugar (Israeli’s usually like sugar and Moroccan mint in their tea).

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Caramel, Sugarcane

Bio

An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
