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.
I love when a tea provokes an outburst!
