Gong Fu Sipdown (600)!
Thank you Teavivre for the free sample – I was definitely very interested in trying this one as I’ve had lotus leaf in various blends of tea but I don’t believe I’ve ever had it straight before. I think it’s a good thing to experience different herbs straight because it helps you better understand their flavour and what they might be contributing to a blend…
I’ll be honest, I didn’t really enjoy this one a whole lot – but I definitely know why. I don’t think it was foul tasting or anything; it’s just the the profile was very intensely grassy and green throughout my entire six or seven infusion session: no real rise or decline in flavour just a solidly grassy experience that reminded me a lot of green tea; which I’m just not into. Apart from the strong grassy notes, it was also a little bit buttery and nutty, which was actually a nice element to this tisane – just not a nice enough one to make up for the grassiness…

Dry leaf has strong aroma of alfalfa.
Brewed tisane has strong aroma of steamed spinach with a lighter note of barn smell.
Brewed tisane has a strong spinach flavour with a strong bitter note. There is a sharp sweet note that comes through an blooms into a matcha-like taste while it mixes with the bitterness.
This is certainly too bitter for me. I may have to try to infuse it for less time in the future.

Sipdown (249)
Not actually but this mug was a whole lot of nope and I am tossing the rest of the sample Arby sent me into my swap box because I do not want to drink this again. In fact, I didn’t even drink this whole mug. One sip and the rest got dumped. It is basically mushed vegetables and grass and just a lot of terrible. Sorry Arby but this definitely was not for me. Thank you for sharing though!
