From Chroma Tea

Refreshing herbal tisane blended with peppermint and spearmint, fennel, burdock and tulsi.

Deep forest on a sunny day, pine trees in the wind, splashing your face with water from a mountain spring.

Invigorating to the senses, calming and soothing to the palate- this herbal is inspired by the unique way that tea makes us feel, and has been blended for contemplative time.

Steamy and soothing hot, this tea is summer in a glass when served iced, serve unadorned or add a touch of rich wild honey.

Sipdown! (44 | 80)

Yay, the last one from Chroma! \o/

This is a soothing and enjoyable tisane. The ratio of the mints is spot-on, it has the sweetness of the spearmint without tasting like chewing gum. The fennel adds a warming quality, and then the burdock has such a nice earthy, rooty quality to it. I’m a fan of burdock in general, so I’m always happy to find it in tea.

I tried three versions of this blend, and I think my favorite was actually the shou puerh version, Celadon. I’m not sure yet whether I’ll be reordering any of these Chroma teas. There are a few more I still want to try, but it seems like it’ll be a while before they’re restocked…

I have to say… I’ve been underwhelmed by the Chroma blends so far. I was really looking forward to loving them after enjoying Azure. Kinda feels like the company isn’t even trying with how long these blends will be out of stock for.

Azure is one of the three I still need to try! I was underwhelmed by most of them as well, though I did enjoy a few. The stock times don’t really bother me too much since I know it’s not their primary focus, but would be nice to be able to try the other teas. :P

I don’t think it’s fair to hold Chroma’s restocks to the same standards as most flavoured/blended tea companies – they’re using very specific bases that (unlike a lot of what is used in blended tea) isn’t produced at a scale great enough to accommodate year round inventory. On top of that, Verdant needs to reserve most of those harvests for retail on their own website (where they’ll drive the most revenue). I’d wager we’ll see more restocks with Spring harvests this year.

I don’t feel like I’ve been expecting them to restock the same as other companies, but watching the site for over a year for restocks and having only 5 IG posts in 3 years makes it seem like a ghost ship. Even a little blurb explaining what you just did would go a long way for dissuading disappointment that the blends never seem to be available.

I have found Laurel to be particularly refreshing and grounding the past several days, especially now that we’re in the midst of heavy winter rain. It’s going well with the tail end of COVID, mostly as a blend to gently help break up mucus. My sense of smell exists only if I bury my face in something, so it’s nice to drink a tea I can feel. Strangely, given the circumstance, I’m able to differentiate the flavor better than when I first tried this several months ago. The spearmint is clearest, the peppermint is soft. Neither tastes musty or stewed. Sweet fennel seed, earthy burdock root. I still can’t find tulsi. Simple but good for this moment.

Edit: turns out all the tulsi was at the bottom of bag. Tastes like clove cigarettes and not in a bad way.

Geek Steep S2E7 – Studio Ghibli: Grave of The Fireflies

This is the tea that both Marika and I drank during the recording of this week’s episode, immediately after finishing watching the movie. I think, as the credits were rolling, we sat in stunned silence for a good minute before immediately scrambling to get set up and start recording.

Because of that, the decision making process for our tea was carnal and instinctive. Marika wanted something for digestion because she felt anxious and sick to her stomach and I needed something soothing and comforting.

A mint blend with fennel and tulsi satisfied both of our needs.

My son tells me Grave of the Fireflies is one I definitely need to see.

Brace yourself because it’s definitely earned its reputation for being one of the saddest animated films ever, but I would 100% recommend it. It’s incredibly well done.

Grave of The Fireflies made me ball my eyes out. D: It’s stuck with me in a visceral way despite only watching it once and 15 years ago.

What, no one was in the mood for Fruits Drop-flavored tea?! :-)

If I had known more about the movie going in, I might have picked something along those lines – or if we hadn’t recorded immediately after watching.
