This smells like the best kind of orange creamsicle you can imagine. Fresh oranges, organic cream from grass fed cows, honey to sweeten, bourbon extracted vanilla. Mmm… (Wait. I have a Zoku, I could make these!)
I’m sitting here sniffing my tea, almost scared to taste it because there’s no way it could live up to what it promises.
Ohhhh, this is… really nice. I think I’ll steep it 3 minutes next time. I used 1.5 tsp leaf in an 8-10oz mug. The tea flavour in the background is so lovely. The orange and vanilla blend so well together (mmm, cakes and ice cream), and the other spices are present but don’t detract from the tea that underlies it all.
It’s been my experience that Verdant does amazing blends, but I do not care for the plain teas at all. I’d like to try this one at some point, (Sil, are you paying attention? :) ) as this blend is really so, so good.
I can hardly wait to try it with more steeps, more leaf, and maybe even gaiwan style.

Holy crap, so glad I got some despite the mixed reviews. I still haven’t opened mine yet. :)
Huh? Try which one?
This is totally up my alley. I love these flavours, I love toasted dandelion root (I used to have it in fake coffee with chicory all the time), and this is pretty amazing to me. :) Hope you like it as much as I do! I’m so glad I got 2 oz.
Zhu Rong. :D I know you have it! Do you have enough to share, though?
Oh…yeah. You need to start a list for me in one place lol. I can add that heh
Second steep, 3.5 minutes with a little honey added. Mmm.
LOL. Ok, I’ll make a list for you on Facebook. :D
So I’m reading your note and I started to freak out just a bit because I was worried I didn’t add this as my sample when I ordered my Laoshan Black with Sil (oh, I could go for a cup of that right now – how ridiculous am I). But, you’ll ALL be SO relieved to know that I do have this as a sample.
YES. I also cashed in my $10 GC so I’ll be ready for the next eventual order. (in the spring? Ha)
Yay! Glad you have a sample. I underleafed, but I think I’ll use the full tbsp next time. I think I’ll get more spicey herby flavours. :)
The dandelion root really adds so much to this tea! I think I need to maake an exception to my no mail-orders until Thanksgiving promise for this tea! :-)
i think i arbitrarily bought an ounce of this for shits and giggles…and haven’t tried it yet
This tea sounds very yummy.
