Dinosara drank Golden Fleece by Verdant Tea

2201 tasting notes

Today was another crappy day at work, so another day of comforting teas. I said I was going to have this yesterday to compare it to the Hand Curled Dian Hong from the reserve club, and I kept my word. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this one, but it was still delicious.

This tea is more honey and spiced sweet potatoes, versus the chocolate sweet potato pie of the Hand Curled. I have some non dian hong teas that are quite chocolatey (Laoshan Black being one), so I don’t know that I need chocolate in my dian hong, and I’m quite happy with the honeyed tones. Still loving this one after all this time.

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
