drank Laoshan Village Chai by Verdant Tea
818 tasting notes

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this chai!

So I don’t know which one I have, but there are two different ones on Steepster, as Kittenna pointed out, I believe. Since I think I posted on this one before, I’ll continue to do so.

I have a whole 2oz. bag now, and it’s mine! All mine!!

This is truly my favorite chai. It’s complex, well-rounded, and the base has that roasty toasty goodness from laoshan black. Absolutely delicious! And a great way to start my completely free Saturday!

I wish I liked this one too. But all I could think about how it would taste good glazed over roast beef and stuff… I like teas spicy in the sweet way so I guess that’s why this one was a miss for me.

Oh, I add sugar, so that’s not a problem!!

I did too after a few sips, and it was still making me think of gravy and stuff… xD Haha. But I seem to be in the minority, for most people just love this one! :) Just wish I did too xD

Well, I know chai is pretty personal. After I raved to my coworker about this, she told me to pick her up a whole 2 oz, even though she hasn’t tried it! I hope she likes it!!

Another profile facelift! My tastes have changed a lot from when I first discovered loose leaf tea.

I can trace my tea journey back to October 2012, when I discovered DavidsTea. Before that, I had the occasional cup and enjoyed high tea at An Afternoon to Remember, which has since closed.

I went through a period of wanting to try all the teas, and was really into flavored teas, especially dessert blacks, but my tastes have substantially changed over time.

I still enjoy the occasional flavored black or rooibos, but I’m more into unflavored black teas right now and recently, puerh. Chinese black teas are amazing…with their notes of chocolate or sweet potato, who needs a flavored tea? I had a much steeper learning curve when it came to puerh. I used to dump out cups of puerh for tasting like leather. Now, I am really enjoying them. I think it took finding good quality puerh and steeping them gong fu style to really enjoy them.

I also, on occasion, enjoy a good oolong, white, or green tea.

Favorite tea companies right now include: Mandala, Teavivre, Butiki, Golden Moon, Lupicia, and DavidsTea (for teaware mostly).

Just a note: I don’t rate my teas numerically because my iPad doesn’t like the scroll bar. Maybe someday that will change…hint hint, steepster! ;)

P.S. My profile picture is of one of my 2 cats, Holly, who is a little princess but very photogenic, and she loves boxes, including those that bring me tea! :)
