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.
