In the mood to try something new and I need to dive into the Verdant samples I ordered. This one is described as chocolatey, which I can so go for. I tend to eat a lot of chocolate and sweets when the kids leave at the end of the day and I’m trying to cut back on that. Chocolatey tea will have to do!
It smells good — light aromas of chocolate and malt. It’s a lovely, light-colored brew. One of the things I don’t like about black tea is that boiling water is needed and I have to wait so long for it to cool down for me to try it! Haha, not a bad problem to have. The whole area around my desk smells like chocolate and roasted tea. Yum!
It is a mild and delicious tea. The chocolate-baked flavor reminds me of Laoshan Black but it’s a different tea. Like a distant cousin of Laoshan Black — in fact, if you are not completely sold on that one try Yu Lu Yan Cha Black. It may suit you a little better! Man, Verdant just doesn’t disappoint.
