Verdant orders are here! I’ll try to save the one I was most curious about (Golden Fleece) for last. It will be a test of self-control, haha.
The Holy Basil Spa Blend was originally something I added to my order to bump it above the free shipping line. I’m not big into herbal teas, but this blend sounded unique and interesting. Visually it’s quite pleasing, being a blend of many different colors and shapes of leaves. The dry tea has a bright mint aroma, which once brewed reveals many other herbal notes in the background. I’m not knowledgeable enough to identify what they all are, but the overall effect is almost vegetable-stock-like, in a good way.
The flavor of the tea is minty but not sharp, the mint being balanced out by all the other ingredients. The overall effect is cooling and slightly sweet. Very refreshing and calming, especially at the end of a long day. While I don’t have anything similar to compare it to and therefore won’t rate it for now, I do think this will become a staple evening tea, and something to try iced as well.
