From my Verdant order that I placed to secure some Dragonwell after a disappointing first effort. I decided to add a sample of this tea, a style I’ve had my eye on for some time but have yet to try. It is definitely a unique flavor!
Unfortunately, there is no “okra” descriptor, as that is the exact smell the dry leaves give off! On the palate, that has evolved into artichoke for sure. The broth is somewhat sweet (medium low) and thick as milk. Definitely a nice green!
