Thank u to Terri Harplady for this beautiful sample!!
The tiny twisted leaves look like beautiful Spanish moss and they unfurl to be so much larger individual light green leaves.
The liquor is a pretty Spanish moss color as well and I don’t detect any dominant essences.
I like this green tea,,it is mild-tasting. I like that it was sun-dried, maybe this is why it is so mild. It does have notes of sweet pea and oat as Verdant suggests in its description.
There is a tiny bit of tannin to it that cleanses your palette. This tea is great with food as it will not fight with your flavors.
Gonna steep again later to see what comes out now that the leaves are unfurled because the Verdant description includes rose water, celery, and sweet grass along with the oat and sweet pea that I detected in the first steeping!
Earthy, light, and very nice green tea!
OK, second steeping really brings out the rose water!!!! That is wonderful!!! I have a recipe for a rose water sugar cookie that this tea would pair beautifully with!!! I do detect the sweet grass essence. I am still not detecting any celery,,,,maybe in a third steeping ?? Very cool notes.Tried a third steeping on this and did catch celery but with a third steeping it was very one note with only celery so I’d stick with two next time :)
Flavors: Bread, Earth, Fruit Tree Flowers, Peas
