Azzrian drank Zhu Rong Yunnan Black by Verdant Tea

What I like about this tea is that it is perfect for any season!
This has the chocolaty notes and cake like notes perfect for fall and winter.
It also has light berry notes perfect for spring and summer!
Its warm but with a light lifting mouthfeel!
Its not one to coat your mouth in flavor but has a lingering essence that stays with you reminding you of the goodness you just encountered!
I even like it cooled which I do not usually find with this flavor profile! I believe it is due to those lighter berry like notes!

My goodness, this tea sounds so intriguing!
Have you tasted the potato or cayenne notes yet?

Yup the cayenne for sure! And yes sweet potato but not regular potato. Its very yummy! It has such a wonderful lingering after taste too!!!!

How very interesting!
I am certainly adding this to my shopping list.

Just be sure … if brewing western style that you do not steep for more than about a min and a half. Regular brewing parameters don’t work with this one. :)

You’re very exclamatory today! :D

Also, I second the point about the 1.5 min infusion time. Longer will ruin it.

Most of my reviews will be “snippits” of full reviews that can be found at http://sororiteasisters.com/

I usually try to post the exact date that the full reviews will post however sometimes post dates need changed so it may not always be correct. Generally the dates are correct however.

About Me:

Most of my reviews, although not all, will be quite favorable of the tea. This is not because all tea is excellent, but more so because I generally will not waste my time on an inferior tea. If I do not care for a tea I won’t continue to drink it let alone spend time reviewing it. If you see a review by me you basically know it is a quality tea. Granted it may not suit your specific taste buds, we all like different things, but as for a tea on the whole it is a good one, from a good company.

I am a spiritual advisor by profession.
I have two “young adult” children.
Four cats and three dogs.

Some of my hobbies include gardening, essential oil therapy, natural perfumery with essential oils, and cooking.

I look for complexity overall in any tea, dimensions to the flavors.

I believe tea should evoke a feeling, thought, emotion, or attitude.

I enjoy most all oolongs, blacks, whites, and greens.

I always love to try a good yellow tea.

I favor unadulterated teas but I do have my longings for a good flavored tea now and then so I don’t rule them out by any means!

I enjoy green rooibos don not like red rooibos.
