The Verdant $5 sampler is really varied and I’m glad I ordered it. The dryleaf of this smells sweetly vegetal. This tea tastes very much like a super-sweet, super-creamy green tea to me. Thankfully, there is no seaweed flavor like I find in a lot of greens.
The first flavor is very buttery, so I can see why come people compare it to caramel, but it’s too vegetal for me to call it that. It sort of tastes like lima beans sauteed in butter! It then turns into a darker flavor (roasted lima beans?), which has a little bit of spice to it almost like cinnamon. What’s great is that there is absolutely no bitter aftertaste and no dry-mouth. I love that about this tea.

I run, I sing, I drink tea. That’s the best description I have of me.
I’ve always enjoyed tea, but have just started trying out a lot more loose teas and varied brands. I’m really excited about a site like steepster so I can read about what people think about different teas.
Oh and I really hate Lipton tea. There’s something just awful about it and I can’t understand why nearly every local diner only has Lipton.
Also I’m on the search for a full-bodied, fruity blackberry tea. So if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way! :-)
