Tea number 2 from the Verdant Tea of the Month Club:
This is a tea that I’m not new to, & it is one that I have already been enjoying since I placed my first Verdant order (which was really just about 6 weeks ago, can you believe that? I’m not going to confess to how many orders I’ve placed since then…LOL).
I love the deep chocolate boldness, & this is another strongly grounding tea, I feel like it is made of the roots of trees, deep in the earth. There is a hint of a burdock root flavor, a spiciness of clove, and my beloved sweet potato. Definitely a noticeable contrast from the Tian Di Ren ’06 Sheng, this is a much bolder cup, with a thickness to it.

If I were you, I’d need a great tea thermos, a non-spill cup and a custom tea-bib to keep my clothes clean while driving down the roads to the performance. I’m a terrible dribbler! Usually I use a straw in every beverage cup because I miss my mouth too often when driving and plop tea down my chin onto my ‘shelf’.

Now I’m headed down to Perryville (90 miles or do drive) to play a wedding!

This tea sounds good. Clove and sweet potato? MMMM
