My friend Chris got this tea for his bottomless cup at verdant. I traded with him on the third steep to try it. It was a gentle green, very delicately vegetal with a buttery-like richness without tasting buttery if that makes sense. He said the first steep was quite sweet as well. I’m usually not one for greens, but I liked this one quite a lot!
Flavors: Grass
Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.
I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.
Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!
I’m up for swaps!

Oooooh I got a whole bunch of new greens today and reading this is making me want to try them all right now!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it!
