David sent me some of this and I must say the color of the contents blew me away! The Rose Petals are a purple red – vibrant and bold in both color and taste. I could see and smell the citrus contents and while sipping on this little gem KNEW there was more than ‘just orange’ within. Orange AND grapefruit? AWESOME! The black tea base, which I LOVE and have reviewed separately, is chocolaty, malty, and slightly crusty!
The reasons I LOVE this offering?
It has the Verdant FAMOUS Laoshan Black Tea Base. Another reason is because David didn’t skimp on the ingredients…that’s for sure! AND, of course, the creativeness of pairing these flavors together! I really appreciate that! PLUS…the unexpected creaminess that lingers on to the aftertaste! A Delight!!!

Isn’t it pretty?! Next time I’m steeping it in a glass! Resteeps very well.
Infamous?
:) Perhaps I am the only one who refers to that black tea of theirs as INFAMOUS :) But it IS getting quite the reputation here on steepster :) teehee
Haha, I thought infamous was a negative adjective! Contrary to its reputation on here :P
You know…now that you say that…I can totally see your point. Oops! I will change that. I was thinking of it as “shocking” but in a good way…
Antonym would be more fitting :)
1. reputable. 2. praiseworthy, admirable.
I went ahead and revised that to FAMOUS :)
teehee…thanks for point that out! It was only my 1st cuppa the day at the point of writing! LOL :)
Hahaha, no worries, I was pretty sure you meant it in a good way :D I actually had to go look the word up myself after I said that to check if I was right :P
hmmm maybe another tea to add to my list once I get through all the new teas coming heh
I share with a college student that works summers/holidays at the local herb store as well as family and friends but also swaps and giveaways :) That’s super cool that you do that Bonnie! Anyway to get the word out about quality tea ROCKS :)
I’m such a Famous lover that I give little packets of Laoshan Black away as tasty gifts with a smile on my face like I’ve just passed along a treasure.
