Wow…so smooth. A beautiful rich tasting tea. I even loved the feel of this tea. If you have not ordered from Brenden yet you are missing out! I steeped 2 x according to directions on the label.

I got this as a sample included in my H & S order. I was reluctant to try it because senchas are most definitely not my usual thing. I almost gave the sample away to a friend. I am glad I didn’t. Honestly this was a pleasant surprise. I had it with a naughty piece of vanilla cake and it was perfect little pairing and the only way I’d drink it. I needed the bitter seaweed green with the sweet. If you like senchas you might enjoy this one. Now I can say I tried it again and yep…senchas are not for me.

This was fairly good. I got it in a DT Sampler. Burr… it is 15 degrees currently- it warmed me up when I got to work but it is not one I’d personally purchase.

I love oolongs. This is a citrus and vanilla flavored oolong. I bought this one based on the reviews and that it won awards. I’m still on the fence about this one. I actually liked the 2nd & 3rd steep better than the first. 3rd steep I do get that hint of an orange dreamsicle at the end of my sip. Not one I’d for sure buy again but nice to try. I may rate this higher after a few more attempts.

Just say no…gross, bad aftertaste. Not worth writing more. I know there are folks that like this one. I personally don’t like tea blends with chocolate or yogurt pieces at all.

I was sent a sample of this beautiful oolong. This is an exceptional oolong tea that allows several wondrous steeps. It is a beautiful amber color, very smooth… and has caramel smoke fruity smooth richness which is hard to describe. If you can snag the 5 for $5 offer from Verdant they will send you 5 teas to sample…This tea was so dang good. Sip down and savor if you get the opportunity!

This is surprisingly a very pleasant tea. I had it hot…many say this is best iced. If I have another hot cup I may steep only 2 minutes because it tasted a tad bitter or artificial at 3-4 minutes. I will definitely try it iced next. It is fun to try… the jury is still out if I’d buy more.

I enjoy the spiciness of this tea. I purchased a small amount after receiving a free sample and I am happy to have it in my cupboard. It is very soothing.

Absolutely delicious. I love this blend. I hope DT keeps bringing it back. That is all…

Ok…my first tasting did not go well but the fault was mine. I used too many pearls and steeped it too long so it got bitter.
*I later tried using only 2 pearls, used a lower water temp and a much shorter steep time…amazing difference. I enjoyed re-steeping this one too.
Side note: I think a thinner rimmed glass mug or a delicate tea cup is the way to go with this delicious jasmine tea.
