Several weeks ago I decided to order a bunch of Verdant samples so I had a good idea of what I wanted to reorder come Black Friday. Now that the TTB is on its way I’m going to dedicate the next few days to sipping them down.
I made three steeps of this, the first one I drank on its own, but the second and third were mixed together to take shopping with me tonight. They are sitting out in the car waiting for me to get my errand running done, as cold as it is tonight I’ll likely have a nice cold glass of tea to drink on my way home from the coffee shop.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was just how beautiful the rose petals looked. I love rose tea in every shape and form and order it often, but these were by far the prettiest looking rose petals I’ve ever seen in a tea. I am yet again blown away by the quality of Verdant’s teas.
The bergamot did not stand out nearly as much as I had expected, I find that I wanted it to edge a little more towards a traditional earl grey flavor, but the combination of Laoshan Black, rose, and bergamot was still very enjoyable. The base has a very complex flavor lending a bit of malt and chocolate to the rose and citrus flavors.
I think this will likely be a reorder for me at some point, but most likely it will wait for spring. This tea just doesn’t suit my tastes as much this time of year.
Hope your kid gets better soon!
Aww, hope she gets better soon!
Thanks for the well wishes! Her fever is up to 104. Just waiting for the test results to see if she has strep.
No strep! :D
Let us know how she’s doing!
She’s been sleeping most of the day. Still has a fever but seems to feeling a little better. Ate a little. Always a good sign! :)
That’s always a relief to know it’s not step. Glad to hear she’s eaten a little and getting plenty of rest. I hope she gets better soon.
