800th tasting note! What better way than to review a tea that I’ve, gee, had for a year and still haven’t written about even though I quite enjoy it.
Yes, it was oodles better when fresh. The citrus notes, particularly the orange and bergamot, popped out a lot more than now. Fresh, this is seriously the perfect balance between the warm cocoa notes in the Laoshan base, the sparkly colourful citrus notes, and elegant rose. Nowadays, I’m getting mostly rose, and I swear the base is more mineral-like than cocoa-like with age.
Whilst I wouldn’t go out of my way to get this, if Verdant restocked this with a bunch of others that caught my fancy, you bet I’d get more.
I’ m sure I’ve been guilty of doing that :)
That a wholotta notes girl, keep it up :-)
congrats on the 800th note !
