Dinosara drank Lavender Rose Bouquet by Verdant Tea

Sipdown, 226. Another old one! Also, I almost added more rose buds to this one to bump the rose but couldn’t remember how it went, and by the time I loaded the page here to see my old tasting note I had started steeping. Turns out there wasn’t much rose the first time for me. Oh well.

My evening teas have been cold care teas lately, but I remembered I had one pot of this left and decided to go for it tonight, especially since I was feeling better in general today. Plus its mint and lemongrass as well as lavender, so pretty good cold herbals anyway. I need to sipdown two more teas in the next day or so, so that I don’t go up above 230 when my Verdant orders get here.

Minty in an herby way, slightly sweet, lavendery, with perhaps a touch of lemon. A pretty tasty blend, but I stand by my wish for more rose!

Oh!!! I hope they bring this one back! I’m sad I missed the lavender.

Wow! This is old enough that I don’t even remember it, hahahaha.

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
