Thank you Courtney for the swap which gave me the chance to try this tea. I’m on a mission to try more Verdant tea as they are so highly recommended by many Steepster-ites and friends.
This blend sounds interesting, though a little floral and herbal for my usual taste I thought it should be something I at least try. The blend itself looks nice and fresh with a thick herbal scent with hints of sweet fruit and citrus.
It tastes as strongly herbal as it smells though it’s not overpowering or too strong. It’s an acquired taste, through the herbs (which are dry and thick) there is a soft sweetness like licorice or clove, a herby sort of sweetness, but also sour citrus such as orange peaking through in the after taste. I say the herbs are dry but they are not as bad as some I have tried or bagged tea, so while dry they are still relatively fresh tasting too.
Though it may not taste as pleasant as I had hoped I find it gives me a relaxing feeling. Definitely a tea I can drink and finish my sample of but this one isn’t one for me to think about ordering. Still as far as it goes for a heavy herbal based tea it’s quite nice.
