Tea giddy.The most accurate way I can describe how this tea made me feel.

Say what you will about the Verdant controversy from 10 years ago, but their tasting notes are on point and I can never say I’m disappointed with a purchase if it tastes exactly as they wrote of.

They say perfect strawberry, vanilla, turbinado sugar and cucumber soda. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It was the number one tea I wanted from this order, with Bai Rui Xiang, Laoshan Black and Laoshan Roasted Oolong as runner-ups.

Only 5g samples are available now, and I ordered 3 of them, which I got for free because we struck up a deal to make the insanely expensive shipping to Australia worthwhile. Great customer service.

I got such a sweet strawberry ice cream aroma from the aroma sniff cup that I said ‘oh my lord,’ out loud. After taking a sip, I sighed with sincere satisfaction.

Usually I go for roasted oolongs but I’ve been on a green oolong kick for those cooling elements according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Too much fire in my body as of late. So with this tea, I could feel my body rejoicing at receiving exactly what it needed.

Bio

Australian tea drinker from Sydney.

I enjoy all kinds of tea except rooibos. Black and roasted oolongs are my true lovers while green tea makes me a little dizzy. Pu-erh I have yet to explore, despite being gifted several cakes. On the look-out for a great herbal tea and also getting the matcha madness.

Have yet to add everything to my Steepster cupboard, but would be interested in an Australian tea swap in the future!

The variety here is not as extensive as other places due to import regulations and the cost of shipping but I own and like stuff from Harney & Sons, Lupicia, T2, Teavivre, Butiki, Mariage Freres, Verdant, Yunnan Sourcing and Whispering Pines Tea Company.
