Hand Picked Spring Tieguanyin (2012) from Verdant Tea

MissLena12 drank Hand Picked Spring Tieguanyin (2012) by Verdant Tea

This is the tea I am having to celebrate being done my crazy busy week! I’m also super stoked about my new Yixing teapot that I ordered this week! :D love this tea as always, haven’t had a really good oolong in ages it seems, thank you Verdant. Fresh greens with butter and honey aftertaste, delicious!

I’d join you in drinking this tea but I don’t like to waste good tea on a bad mood. I’m blue. Good day for puer. Sounds good for another day though and the pot, how wonderful!

I hope you feel better soon Bonnie! At least you have puer, which is also excellent :) and I’m super excited about the pot! I got one from Verdant somehow, good timing I guess, I am just itching for it to arrive! Will have to wait quite a while when it does ship, being in Canada..it will be a long few weeks!

Bio

Hello all, I’m a university student finishing up my Electrical Engg degree this year (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it’s excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee!

I enjoy a variety of herbal, white, green, oolong and black teas. I am a bit sensitive to caffeine, but I find that in moderation I can still indulge in black teas and matcha. I’ve also dabbled with matcha and pu’erhs.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid all other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a wee bit, but oh well.

(as of 04/19/13)

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
60-69: not horrible, but not the best, will finish if I have some though
50-59: not a favorite, probably will have a tough time finishing the bag
-50: yuck. I don’t want to have it ever again.

I am happy to say that my caffeine intolerance seems to be subsiding! This is allowing me to try a wider variety of teas :)
