I so need a few more people to drink this in the near future. The first time i had this, it was all sweet potato sort of flavours and now it’s lightly smokey, making it a delicious, delicious tea for a splash of maple syrup. Verdant is almost out of this, so i’m trying to decide whether to pick up some more, since i seem to be really enjoying it as of late.

I’ll try to remember to drink some tomorrow, and report my findings.

Courtney

I’ll happily send you mine! Smoke and I don’t play nice.

Bonnie

I just bought 4 ounces and would have bought all of it if I could afford to!

Nicole

I loved the sample I got, then when I ordered it, it wasn’t the same. Like Courtney, it was much smokier than my sample had been and I don’t care much for it. I keep meaning to try it again, steeping differently, etc. but I always find something else to drink instead…:)

Sil

yeah the sample was WAY different, but i like this version as well since i don’t mind a little smoke :)

Bonnie

Huh? Mine isn’t smoky. I taste cocoa and potato with some honey. Strange. Even my friends say this is like chocolate milk shake and fries so I just don’t get it.

Sil

Bonnie – my first taste of this was exactly like yours…but the recent bag i picked up is for sure more like a keemun…it’s weird…good but not the same tea i had haha

cryptickoi

that’s not really acceptable in my book…ALL of the tea should be the same or at least tell people it’s not…

Sil

yeah, i guess i haven’t asked verdant about it because i don’t mind the light smokiness…

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
