Just got this as a sample in my Verdant tea order that literally JUST GOT HERE about 3 minutes ago. I waste no time. I decided to dig right into the sample because it sounded intriguing on Steepster and I thought to myself why didn’t I think to order that? Oh well…SAMPLE!! :)
So I just finished brewing it…trying to calm a screaming baby…will probably give it just enough time to cool….
Ah I see…Diaper change….that will do it.
Now to the tea. First steep is nice. Green and sweet…not near as woodsy and dark as I was anticipating…
Second steep, much more mellow…in fact I think I like it better the second steep. It seems more balanced. Less “green”
Third Steep: More citrus. A little astringency.
And I’m going to go to bed. Because it’s late and I need sleep!!
Over all a pretty good oolong
