John Ciubuc drank Laoshan Roasted Oolong by Verdant Tea

47 tasting notes

Short review:

Got this in a sample pack, wish I went for more. This tastes almost just like the laoshan black, but without the harshness or acidity. Just saw now that someone else wrote that it’s the ‘laid back little sister of laoshan black’ and I couldn’t agree more. Definitely prefer this over the black version of it

My grading criteria for tea is as follows:

90-100: Phenomenal tea right here. Drinking this is just a wonderful treat.

85-89: Extremely good tea but it’s just missing that one thing to make it exceptional.

80-84: Very good tea. May not be the best, but it certainly is excellent for the times that you crave them.

70-79: Good tea. The types of teas that have that one characteristic to them that makes it worthwhile despite lacking in all the other areas

60-69: Average tea. Doesn’t excel at anything but isn’t’ horrible in anything either.

40-59: Below average tea. I can see how someone else would like this tea but I definitely don’t like it. Could be an issue with my brewing or just my taste in general. If it’s a brewing issue, rating will be adjusted accordingly.

0-39: How is this tea. Better beverages could be made by grabbing a clump of dead grass from my front lawn.
