Sorry Steepster, I’ve been in such a blah mood lately, I kind of deserted everything around me, even my dear Steepster friends, so sorry :-(
Today was a YAY day as I received my Verdant order. I was impatiently waiting for the new Laoshan Black. For sure, it was going to be the first one I try. But I had to open the box first.
I don’t know what type of “tea box un-wrapper” you are:
Type A) you carefully open the box with a sharp knife, and take out the pouches one by one, checking and matching everything with the packing slip, then, happy with yourself, put everything away in a very tidy manner. You WILL NOT open the pouches until you decide to drink your new tea, which might be in a couple of weeks or even months from now.
Type B) you literally rip the box open, I mean with your bare hands. You fetch everything out in a very frantic manner. You don’t care if it matches the packing slip or not, it’s new tea and it’s all you care about. You gather all the pouches in one big pile and you circle them with your arms, eyeballs out of their sockets, you whisper to them “all mine, all mine, my precious!!”
You will not wait any longer to open all the pouches, no method whatsoever to your madness, you just go from one to the other, trying to figure out which one smells best and which one should land in your cup as of RIGHT NOW! By the end of the evening, you’ll be tea drunk and will have tried them all.
Well, maybe you guessed already…I’m type B. This is how I roll and I won’t apologize for it.
Now back to the order and my tea choice. After a spectacular type B grand opening, I throw myself on Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha cause the smell, oh my, the smell…freakin unreal!!!
It’s so chocolate, so Laoshan Black, so nutty and crispy toasted rice, it’s the bomb people!
It,s like having Laoshan Black with Rice Krispies squares, just in a more fancy and sophisticated way, so yummy!
Enough said, just try it for yourself :-)
P.S. Thanks again Verdant for such a pleasant shopping experience as always, you guys are wonderful!

I’m type C. I do a little of A and a little of B. :-)
I loved this note and am glad you’re back!
MzPriss, Agreed!
Haha, Morgana, didn’t think of a type C, you are so balanced :-)
Thank you my dear Keychange, missed ya ;-)
I’m going to have to get a fresh batch, clearly!
I haven’t tried this yet – but since I’m almost sobbing over the fact that regular Laoshan Black is currently out of stock, maybe I should try some of this because yeah I NEED another tea to obsess over
Yep include me in the B section also.
MzPriss you should definitely give it a shot, new tea obsession is always a good thing!!
Hope you have more luck with a new batch whatshesaid :-)
Mrmopar, though I do enjoy being a type B, I so admire type A for their restraint and self control!!
Hmmmmmm – am I the only A around here?
(I love this tea – Laoshan black with Rice Krispy squares is a really good comparison)
Hi! I’m also B. :)
Haha, I’m like Morgana – a bit of both, type C
B, B!! :D I do go back and match teas up to my packing slip/order, but only after I roll around in them.
Dexter, don’t feel bad, you’re in a league of your own and we all want to be like you when we finally grow up :-)
Haha! Omgsrsly, I forgot about the “roll around in them” part!
I’ll have to say I’m a bit of both as well… so call me type C. :)
What a fun conversation this turned into!
I have enough to build a small house around me!
Suziqzer, yes it quite funny :-)
Mrmopar, more realistically, I’d go for a decent size cottage…but that’s just me.
Yep Type B over here! haha
Now I also want to try this tea! I haven’t ordered from this company before so I should give them a try.
