drank Golden Earl by Verdant Tea
2201 tasting notes

Golden Earl Reblend is up next (#26)! Super delicious. It kind of irritates me that this blend (and Gardens of Anxi, which is after this one) is archived, thus never coming back, and instead we just get tons of blends with too many ingredients (e.g., the Intelligent Nutrients blends, and tons of herbals). I see they do have an Earl Grey in their blends now, which is new I guess, but it has Wuyi Rock Oolong in the blend. Oh well, guess I will just continue to hoard this forever.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

do not get me started on “intelligent nutrients”

Dinosara

I can’t even.

OMGsrsly

Sil. Remember AIR NUTRITION?

Sil

shhhh you’ll get me started again. lol we had such a facebook rant that night…

caile

yeah, I was wondering about those intelligent nutrients – it just doesn’t appeal to me at all..

OMGsrsly

I still laugh thinking about it, Sil. :D

Dinosara

Now I’m sad I missed the rant.

Sil

oh dinosara… those blends are almost enough to mak me lose all respect for verdant. If you look at the company that makes “intelligent nutrients” they also make AIR NUTRITION…and refer to cultural aromas…

Dinosara

Wow, just wow.

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
