“Unusual tea, this one. I get mostly chamomile with hints of cocoa, something floral, and a sweet berry-ish flavor – I’m thinking this is the huge pieces of goji in the mix. I doubt I’d ever go out...” Read full tasting note
“Um….this one tastes better than it smells, I think. But I’m honestly not big on frankincense smell, so that has a lot to do with it. The cup tastes like a high quality chamomile, with lots of...” Read full tasting note

This blend was adapted for our subscribers from a blend Verdant created in honour of a Minneapolis benefactress Harriet Lovejoy, who gives her name to nearby Lake Harriet. Their goal with the original, that is still present in this adaptation, was to create a refreshing herbal blend inspired by the feeling you would get strolling around Lake Harriet, picnicking on nearby grass, riding the old trolley or meandering through the neighbourhood. Tea can do this! We encourage you to really sit with this tea and let it work its magic to de-stress and revitalize you.
Briefly, we wanted to introduce 2 ingredients. Frankincense, which is dried sap of trees growing in the horn of Africa, and Linden, known for its calming effects.
Ingredients: Marigold (calendula), goji, linden leaf & flower, honeysuckle, chamomile, tulsi, elderberry, cacao, coriander, frankincense.

Hmm. Not my favourite, that’s for sure, but this wasn’t too bad. I think I’m just not the biggest fan of herbal blends, and that’s that. It does taste as the description indicates – the chamomile is apparent, and there’s an appley aroma/flavour to the tea. I could also pick out a bit of cacao, but I’m not sure the combo quite works for me; apple and cacao? Chamomile and cacao? I actually think that if the chamomile was a bit more masked, I would enjoy this more – although I’ve learned to tolerate chamomile in blends, I don’t much care for it when I can really taste it strongly, which I can here. I might try this at a bit of a shorter infusion time to see if I came tame the chamomile a bit. The frankincence is also noticeable here (I only know this because of its inclusion in a previous Verdant blend, otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue what to taste for), but i
Second infusion, for I’m not sure how long (4 min?), was similar in flavour, although something else is poking out a bit that I don’t care for. I would have said something like juniper, but that’s not in this blend, so I’m not sure what it would be. I’m not familiar with all the ingredients (particularly linden leaf/flower), so it could easily be something like that.
