Autumn Laoshan Green from Verdant Tea
91

I have only skimmed the tasting notes on this one as I am not feeling well. This is my comfort tea for today. I did notice in my skimming of the notes that many people seem to turn to this tea in times of illness or emotional upset. This seems to be the go to tea for that sort of thing.
It sure is interesting for a green tea. Its one everyone should try.
I just want to slink back onto the sofa and indulge in this one.
Roasty, toasty, vegetal yet chocolaty – a bizarre mix that just works for me!
Sorry for such a lame tasting note, need to get rid of this incessant headache and clear the sinuses.
Next time I will use less leaf and or lower the water temp – seems to be a little finicky but I love it none the less.

Thanks :) its strange – I get hungry and nauseous at the same time! I eat and feel better but get hungry AND nauseous again about an hour later. I am wondering if it is due to my newly developed treadmill workouts lol if so this isn’t going to do much for getting into shape! I am taking a day off the treadmill today – just no energy for it.

Eek, I hope it’s not the treadmill! I had the spinny head/headache a couple weeks ago when I first got sick. Not fun at all feeling dizzy all day. I didn’t have the hunger/nausea problem though.

I’m crazy about this tea. Strangely enough I just bought some High Mountain Fog Green Tea from Wing Hop Fung. I’d bet that’s not really it’s name. I took a picture of the the jar. Maybe someone can translate it for me. Point being, it’s kinda the low-rent version of this. It’s fairly cheap, but satisfies in a similar way. I’m still going to save my Verdant for special occasions when I can really appreciate it. But it’s nice to have an alternative in the same wheelhouse.

Feel better!

Missy I have been going for about 20 minutes – 1 mile. per day.

Krystaleyn – It could have just been a little bug – I am feeling a lot better today.

Mark – I think that is a good idea – have a similar lower priced one for daily drinking and save the verdant for when you can really sit with it and enjoy throughly!

Bio

Most of my reviews will be “snippits” of full reviews that can be found at http://sororiteasisters.com/
Posted every evening at 6 EST.
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.
