Wow, the floral scent really comes through when steeping. Like very faint lilacs underneath the milk and a hint of steamed rice. The flavor is green and floral and milk.

Dry smell: Walnut and pumpkin with a faint hint of wood smoke.
Steeped smell: Autumn leaves, summer squash
1st steeping flavor: Cedar & mineral with a just a bit of maple
2nd steeping: chocolate, caramel, mineral and the ceder has changed into pine

This is from the spring 2016 harvest.

Dry: The leaves smell faintly of chocolate almond biscotti. The aroma is very faint.
As it’s steeping: It smells of fresh tobacco and wood smoke. The liquor is a dark golden brown.

Flavor: Incredibly smooth and balanced. Almost, but not quite, sweet. Caramel with autumn leaves, oak wood, and some slight umami. Very refined with sweet fruitiness coming out in later steepings.

This is from the Spring 2016 harvest.

Dry smell: gingerbread (yum!)
Brewed smell: wood smoke, soil, petrichor, summer squash

Flavor: Summer squash, green leaves
This was a sampler I purchased from Verdant tea. It was nice, with some aroma of a dark oolong but with the flavor of a green oolong.

This is from the Spring 2015 harvest.
Dry: It’s very floral with concord grape, orange and clove and a big wiff of cut grass
Wet smell: lettuce, roasted wheat, caramel

Flavor: Barley and copper. When Smelling the dry leaves i was so excited to try this but the flavor profile was pretty insipid and a let down.

Nice and dark, the chocolate was very evident when smelled dry with subtle hints of licorice. On steeping, the chocolate faded with more vegital notes coming forward. It’s mild, smooth and dry.

This is my current favorite. Smooth and luscious, smokey and sweet. It’s absolutely perfect in the mornings.

Not really a lot of tangerine specifically, but I do really like it. There is a lot of citrus going on, and the green tea is nice too. The wife got me some for Christmas and I just had to order some more.

Not going to lie, this one is awesome! Nice and complex with all the spices. The pepper and cardamom work really well with the mint. I did find the tea wanted some sweetener, so I added a tsp of natural sugar. :) So good. In fact, the wife had an upset stomach last night and I made some of this for her. Helped her settle down.
