I finished the 25g pouch between last night and this morning and realized this tisane has grown on me immensely when prepared western. It kind of hits all the marks for me as a soothing evening drink without medicinal flavors: it’s vegetal, biscuity, buttery, clean, a little peppery, tart and minty with a very light sweetness that smooths the strong vegetal tone. After letting the bag sit for a while, the scent of the dry leaf matched the aroma and taste of the liquor. 3-4 grams per 8oz seems to be the sweet spot and I can get 4 good steeps. I think I’d like to keep this around. Big ol bump.

I’m intrigued. It doesn’t look like Verdant has this one at the moment, but they do have a couple of similar herbals from the same farm.
I bought this a few months ago and at that time there were 4-5 other herbals available under the He Family listing. I also picked up the jujube leaf which was weirdly tasty. This tea was made in the spring, so if they continue to produce it, I hope it’s available next summer.
I ordered 25g each of the two they have right now to try. ❤
I look forward to your reviews. I find funny that I prefer these herbals over their Laoshan blacks and greens that get very good reviews here.
Glad to hear this one is good because I have a pouch lying around that I need to try. Verdant’s herbals are really underrated. Their Wild Gan Zao Ye was amazing, tasted just like a real green tea
LuckyMe, I’m curious what you’ll think about this one since it seems your preferences tend toward greens and greener oolong. Looking forward to your review.
