What is this delicious concoction?! dark chocolate mint and chamomile??? I think this is tea heaven.
Well… colour me impressed! this is amazing. SO worth the investment.
At first sip, I tasted mostly mint and some chamomile and I was thinking… where is the chocolate? but wait for it, the cocoa builds and by the time you are halfway through the cup, dark chocolate sings like a bird true and clear. Really good chocolate mind you. Like that 75% cocoa bar you get at specialty shops. Wow.
Soon, by the time I finished one sip, my tongue was crying out for MOAR MOAR NOW!! and it’s not very often I find a brew like that.
Second steep was great as well but not as sparkly. Third steep… well I never found out because our kettle broke at work. We are supposed to have a new one by Monday.
I am in love with this tea. Might even be a cupboard staple. Thank you, David Duckler/Verdant for your genius innovation!

And the best part is there’s no artificial flavoring! (which gives you that yucky aftertaste!) I know you and I don’t likes the yucky aftertastes…oh no we doesn’t!
hah yes Bonnie you are so right. This is crisp and sludge free!! take that artifical flavourings *snaps
Glad to hear on the flavoring, I can’t stand artificial flavor aftertaste,either heh. I’ve thought about picking this one up especially now that verdant has sample sizes.
It is SO good. I have a feeling even if you get the sample (from me) you’ll end up buying a whole pound after…
Hmmm. The Tong Tiang Xiang looks interesting and I haven’t tried Madame Butterfly. Mi Lan Dancong worries me bc I’m allergic to Jasmine, but it’s only a note not the main aspect. I’m most interested in the Tong!
I-bloom there’s no jasmine in it. That’s a tasting note like saying you taste the avacado flavor (there’s no avacado in the tea either). The Mi Lan Dancong is Black Tea and Oolong.
Bonnie: I know… but since I am sensitive to the oil, notes like that turn me off sometimes. Not every time mind you. Who knows, I am a strange one :)
Please stop, this is torture! I’m afraid this new sample option from verdant won’t do any good…I do feel I need to order a pound of this after reading these comments!
Sad thing is, I made my order JUST before that option was announced. Agh!! now I feel the need to make another order… MUST RESIST
