Ginger Sage Winter Spa Blend from Verdant Tea

MissLena12 drank Ginger Sage Winter Spa Blend by Verdant Tea

Ugh it is snowing here and – 17 C today! The warm weather spell had to end :( so I wanted a warming tea, almost cracked open my chai spice but i want to try it first in a regular cup not my timolino lol. So this, my old standby, is in my mug today with honey. Warm, soothing, fresh, and wonderful on the stomach. I wish I was curled up at home rather than in class, this week has been nuts! Need sleep.. See previous notes on this tea :)

Such a creative and amazing tea company! Earl of Anxi is by far one of my favourite teas! I just ordered 6oz when it was restocked!

I love this one too Bonnie! And you have discovered the Verdant addiction Nosyam, I have yet to find a tea of theirs that I don’t like! Earl of Anxi is definitely very good :) it’s on my next order list, I finished my sample of it a week or so ago.

Profile

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 :)
