I am really enjoying my new blacks from Verdant. This one is very comforting and delicious to stay in on this very cold day.

Sweet potato and chocolate notes dominate this first steeping. Honey notes weave into the steep as well. I am not sure that the one minute steep was enough for the complex notes to develop as much as I would like. Maybe I will try a longer steep next cup!

I used 2 tsp of leaf.

The second steep for 2 minutes was just as delicious, but maybe a little less chocolate than the first steep.

Bio

Hello,
I am a nurse. I have numerous hobbies: reading, crocheting, crafting, card making, scrapbooking, photography, shopping, and of course drinking TEA!

I started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I went into a DavidsTea for the first time and have been hooked ever since! My favourite is probably white tea, but I also love black and oolong. I also like a nice relaxing rooibos or herbal in the evening. On Sundays, I like to treat myself and make a tea latte.

My favourite flavours are nutty, vanilla, chocolate, jasmine, tropical, fruity, earl grey.
My dislikes are lavender, rose, hibiscus, banana, and straight green or overly vegetal teas.

I am admittedly fairly generous in my rating scale. Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.
