Well, this has been in my cupboard since April and has barely been touched. :( I need to stop being afraid of fancy tea.
This is a really good one. It’s not as amazing as the descriptions lead it to be, which makes me feel like a tea failure, and that I shouldn’t be drinking Verdant in the first place, BUT it is good so who cares if I don’t get creamy custard and lingering dark elderberries. >:|
This tastes green and fresh, and slightly creamy, and it makes me think that the impending snowstorm we were warned about might just turn into spring rains and leaves blooming and sunshine on a coolish day. It’s darker than other oolongs I’ve had, which is a good thing too. I’ve got enough left for one more cup, but this type of oolong seems like pure win. Even without the “vegetal creamy green bean flavor with a lingering honeydew melon sweet orchid finish.”

Drool, creamy custard and lingering dark elderberries. Yeah, if only a tea tasted like that.
I’m the same way about fancy-er tea. Especially about Verdant. Lol. I feel like my palate hasn’t become tuned enough to enjoy their teas like they should be enjoyed. So the samples I have just sit there even though I know I should just drink them so they don’t go ‘bad’. (Actually at this point it seems like my palate is devolving horribly which makes me feel worse about trying them. /cry/) Lol.
Sometimes it feels like my palate is devolving too. /criestogether
