ohfancythat drank Yabao Snickerdoodle by Verdant Tea (Special)

652 tasting notes

While I appreciate OMGsrsly sending me a sample of this tea with the intriguing name, I kind of had an idea of what to expect…that is, likely nothing good.

Definitely not a snicker doodle tea.

Tastes like ginger and things that grow in the ground. Not in a good way.

I enjoy snicker doodles as far as cookies go.
Not so much, this.

Thanks anyway…I know I was warned! :)

LOL. Yeah, that’s about what it tastes like. I also get a lot of pine needles from it, but not the tasty new ones… the sappy green ones that stick everywhere.

Yes, I’m getting the pine now too. I think I’m done though, lol.

I don’t do well with very “earthy” tasting teas!

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
