So I’ve heard nothing but good things about this tea and I was really curious to try it so I ordered the 5 samples for $5 from Verdant. First of all, the smell of this is so yummy, almost like a brownie. The taste without sweetener is pleasant but I’m not getting anything other than tea. With sweetener, it is sweet and light. It’s just enough smokiness but isn’t dry or seem too acidic (one of my major issues with some black teas). After it’s cooled down a bit, it almost tastes nutty which is very pleasant. I’m a bit undecided if this is worthy of a purchase. In my current tea journey, I’m more into flavored teas.
This is You :-D

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
