okay I got a slew of new stuff from Verdant, pretty soon I’ll have tried every tea in their entire line… lol
I like pu-erh tea but I also like pu-erh blends, especially with fruit so I thought I’d check this one out. I steeped this one in my infuser mug at around 200F for 3 minutes.
This is really nice! It has many layers of intriguing flavor. The pu-erh is dark and earthy, the orange and elderberry are tart and fruity, and the ginger and galangal add a nice spicy kick. This will definitely warm you up. With the first steep I felt like the ginger really overpowers the cup but I didn’t mind as I really like ginger.
On the second steep the spiciness is starting to retreat and the pu-erh is coming out a lot more. I couldn’t help myself, I had to try it with soymilk. Yummy! Definitely check this out if you’re an adventurous sort of person that likes spices and fruit…
You know I am not one for flavored tea but this one has me intrigued….
Maybe you can ask for a sample of it next time you order something. :)
How is it flavored?
Charles just likes his teas straight, without any fruit, herbs or other stuff added in. :)
Sounds delicious!
