So here’s a tip – Don’t buy the sample size. That just doesn’t make any sense. You’ve read the descriptions. You know how sometimes it can be work to dig up the right words to describe the way a tea tastes? It wasn’t work for these reviewers. The flavors everyone keeps talking about are front and center – as in, nearly like a flavored tea. I’m drinking my first Laoshan Black here on a Friday morning, and it’s hitting me the way a great beer – in this case, a smooth, oatmeal stout – can feel on Friday night after looking forward to it for a few days.

Haha! Loving this review, and I agree with the advice: buying a sample would be silly :-)
Unfortunately, it was learned by experience. :/
Haha! I was just teasing :-) I bought a sample too the first time and ordered 4oz while I was drinking my first cup so don’t feel bad!! 200 people raving about a tea doesn’t necessary make it your own personal likings, it’s always wiser to start with samples, then you’re not stuck with something you don’t like :-)
Well that does make me feel better, thanks! :) At least I have about a dozen other Verdant samples to keep me busy until the new supply gets here.
oatmeal stout! great comparison!
Another one for the wish list. I love oatmeal stouts…
