Eek, I only have one serving left of this wonderfully magical tea. So of course I’ve been resteeping the heck out of today’s leaves. I just can’t get over how chocolatey the tea is with that nice pop of cereal/rice flavor from the genmaicha part of the tea. Once I run out of both this and LB, I’m seriously going to have to break my tea buying hiatus to put in another order with Verdant. I’m just hoping that they’ll have the teas I want in stock! Timing is always the toughest part.
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m a California girl temporarily located in Boston for school (brrr). I only recently got into teas because I’ve never really liked coffee (too bitter), but I have been a daily barley tea drinker since I was little.
Through some timid tastings and exploring, I so far like:
-Japanese green teas (genmaicha, hojicha, sencha, etc)
-Oolongs! (Most kinds except formosa and dan cong so far)
-Straight black teas
-English Breakfast teas
-Fruity teas (peach, apple, strawberry, other berries)
NOT a huge fan of rooibos, matcha, heavily artificial tasting teas, or anything gingery or peppery, but I’m trying to keep an open mind and taste everything that I can!
I’m trying to sample more straight teas and have been having pretty awesome discoveries so far. Thank goodness for sample sizes!
My tentative rating system:
90-100: Woohoo! I’m loving it, and I’m definitely restocking when I get the chance and/or crying when I’m out.
80-90: Yum! I’ll try to restock if it fits in my budget when I run out.
70-80: Probably would not buy again, but it was nice enough to finish the cup.
50-70: Would not choose this tea for myself if given the situation, but would not reject it if someone offered it to me and would gulp down politely.
50 or less: Nope. Don’t care to taste that tea again, sorry!
I’m always down to swap, so send me a message if anything in my cupboard is calling your name!
That’s exactly how I felt when I ran out of mine!
