Dinosara drank Dragonwell Bouquet by Verdant Tea (Special)

2201 tasting notes

I don’t remember what was in this blend and I added it this morning at work, so I don’t have the info sheet with me. Dragonwell, obviously, and it looks like jasmine blossoms, sunflower/safflower petals, and lemongrass? We’ll see!

Ok, yeah, this is a nicely lemony dragonwell. Hints of jasmine, but not too floral. Buttery, fresh, and pleasant. Will be interested to know if there is anything else in here that I’m not tasting, but otherwise it is a nice spring tea.

So I did end up canceling my blends club (even though I have enjoyed these teas) because I was looking them all again, and one tea of three a month is just not worth it to me. Clearly my taste buds are just a little bit different from the folks at Verdant (they love fennel and mint!), which is funny because I have enjoyed so many of their blends that have been offered for sale on the site. Guess I will stick to those for now on.

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
