This is an interesting blend, and for once I decided to jot down my impressions of the tea as I was drinking it and not after. So here goes:
-smells like a spice mix
-aroma more complex after brewing
-almost reminds me of orange spice and pepper – at which point I’m sure I’m imagining things
-very vegetal green oolong, a little too heady
-tastes like: the broth I use to make tea eggs, I’m not even kidding
-or Numi’s savory teas
-also reminds me of Verdant’s Holy Basil Spa Blend (both have tulsi)
Overall it’s very unique, if a bit of an adventure where I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. Thanks beelicious for the sample, it’s surprising how much Verdant has experimented with blends as my impression of them leans toward straight teas (and a few well-known blends like Chocolate Genmaicha).
