After transferring this tea from the bag to my tea tin I was struck with the bright green color and delicious smell of these leaves. They are practically bursting with life! I am so excited to try this tea.
It is immediately apparent to me that I did not buy enough. Another Verdant order? So soon? It’s very tempting.
The tea smells like nothing I’ve smelled before. Amazing! It’s so hot, but I want to drink it so I’m scalding my mouth. I need to slow down and savor this.
While I sip I’m reading the article on the verdant website about visiting Master Zhang’s fields. It’s a lovely experience and I almost feel transported there, until it gets too noisy outside and I’m abruptly brought back to real life.
This tea is delicious — almost perfect, I’d say! I am filled with gratitude that I discovered steepster and that steepster led me to Verdant Teas. Verdant, you have a huge fan on the west coast! I know you are opening a tea room, but what about a traveling tea caravan or food truck? There was a traveling van that stopped by Occupy Oakland that was giving away free tea. I’m not saying you should give it away, but you could travel the whole continent and share your lovely teas!
