1985 Tasting Notes

First steeps of this little cracker are the best. Honey coated dried fruit. Really rich, complex flavor. Slightly floral. Subsequent steeps have more of a hay/dried twig quality.

Given as a sample in a recent Verdant order and I can’t remember anything about it, but I remember liking it.

Very easy to drink so went through this fast. Not something I necessarily need to purchase again, but perfectly decent.

I’ve been hoarding the last bit of this, as it’s so delicious and unique. Such an excellent watermelon flavor. I hope this one comes back at some point!

Made a small Verdant order, and recalled enjoying this in the past. Made some this morning and it tastes like strawberries. Really strongly and distinctly of fresh strawberries. Absolutely delightful.

Sad sipdown. Such a lovely, creamy orange vanilla blend.

Finished off a 25g bag. Very sad day. It’s a pretty pricey tea- $17.50/25g, but I really enjoy it, so just ordered another bag. One of the few teas I really measure and savor.

This is just okay. I don’t usually love hibiscus in black tea blends, and this falls into that category. Not getting any of the rum flavoring or plum bitters, which both sounds interesting.

Flavors: Hibiscus, Red Fruits, Tart

I would be bummed about the rum and plum bitters being absent!

Smells strongly of green apple candies, but I don’t actually get much apple in the flavor. Actually has a strong coconut flavor.
