Backlog from last night – another tea from the GCTTB4
I had 2 steeps of this last night, and there’s still a smidgen of leaf left for others further down the lineup of the box.
The taste of this was actually quite similar to the hei cha I had yesterday morning from Tao Tea Leaf. It was a very earthy sort of flavour, and although I could taste smoke, the smoke was not the predominant flavour.
The second steep was similarly earthy, but I got a hint of sweetness like pine sap or eucalyptus at the back of my mouth.
This was decent, and I know Verdant is one of Steepster’s darlings, but I didn’t ring my bell compared to some of the other teas I’ve tried. It was a nice way to relax and focus in the evening, though.
