From Verdant Tea

A heady, intoxicating oolong that evokes sandalwood incense, honeydew melon, and dark, rich spice . . .

Mi Lan Xiang, literally “Honey Orchid Fragrance” is a real understatement for this tea. The aroma is absolutely heady and enveloping, like walking into a temple burning sandalwood incense with lotus flowers strewn about, and a faint whiff of pine sap and honeydew melon.

The taste does not disappoint after such a commanding fragrance. There is the dark gentle spice of clove, a building floral taste like a blooming lotus, and the bursting juicy sweetness of biting into a piece of homemade honey candy.

In the second steeping, citrus qualities begin to develop, dominated by a ruby red grapefruit flavor. There is a profound warming sensation to the brew, complimented by dark maple syrup.

Later steepings see the darker elements integrate seamlessly with a growing spice profile, and even hint at the honeydew melon taste through a continuing burting juicy sweetness. The aftertaste on this tea is a lingering comforting warmth, with all the dark floral elements at the back of the throat.

Just got this as a sample in my Verdant tea order that literally JUST GOT HERE about 3 minutes ago. I waste no time. I decided to dig right into the sample because it sounded intriguing on Steepster and I thought to myself why didn’t I think to order that? Oh well…SAMPLE!! :)

So I just finished brewing it…trying to calm a screaming baby…will probably give it just enough time to cool….

Ah I see…Diaper change….that will do it.

Now to the tea. First steep is nice. Green and sweet…not near as woodsy and dark as I was anticipating…

Second steep, much more mellow…in fact I think I like it better the second steep. It seems more balanced. Less “green”

Third Steep: More citrus. A little astringency.

And I’m going to go to bed. Because it’s late and I need sleep!!

Over all a pretty good oolong

intense sandalwood aroma and its dark color from this blend. i most say it is also very tasty! I followed the brewing instruction. It seems verdant tea get very good review and this one does not disappoint.

The texture is creamy and buttery and the flavor is hard for me to describe. All i know is i really like this tea. I infused this 3 times and all 3 were very good, each a little different which is very nice. would recommend.
