Another one of those reviews I am not going to have a lot of time to write for. I imagine this is going to be a trend for a while, what with deadlines and all.
It tastes like nothing but roast. There might be a bit of hazelnut, but the flavor is mostly roasted almond skin. I can’t tell if this is because it’s not a good tea or if I just don’t have a palate for the roasted oolongs. I am guessing the former, based on the other reviewers.

Yeah, I didn’t care for this one either. I kind of doubt either scenario you presented above to be honest. For a medium roasted oolong, I found the roast to be nearly oppressive. It may just be that the roast was heavier than anticipated. Plus, I have had the light roast version of this tea and I found it to be pretty much excellent. It’s totally different. You can actually pick up the spice notes a lother more clearly. If you haven’t tried it, I would recommend it.
Verdant is pretty hit or miss for me, with hits mostly with the He family and misses being outside. You’re right that this was probably just not a good tea.
