Well the Bean took another short nap today, but it was long enough for me to brew up a cup of this one. All I can say is, THANK GOODNESS FOR STEEPSTER! I never would have discovered Verdant, or if I did, it would be in the future and not right now and that’s too far away. This is another really good cup of tea that can be enjoyed absolutely unaltered. To me it tastes like an extra roast toasty laoshan black. I’m diggin it. Big time. On steep #2 and about to take it outside to watch the kids ride bigwheels and tricycles on the driveway and wait for the big kid to get home from school. I can’t wait to try the rest of my Verdant order. If the others are even half as good, I’m in for a treat! Tomorrow I’ll try the chai. That has to be good.
This is You :-D

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.
I joined steepster in Feb 2013 and it’s crazy how much my tastes have changed since joining. Before, I liked cream and honey in all teas and loved mostly dessert blacks. Now I almost rarely drink them, but enjoy them from time to time. What I love more than anything are straight rich black teas, Fujian, Laoshan, Rizhao, etc… I also love pretty much any black tea that the little leaf hoppers have gotten their teeth on.
I’m still not too into the green/white/oolong varieties. I keep trying to but my tastes are evolving pretty slowly on that front.
Overall, I just enjoy tea. Something about it that just settles me.
