My favorite morning tea. Very forgiving of my early morning slapdash tea making style which consists of click, dump, pour, steep until I remember I already made tea, pour into cold milk. To me it tastes like wet redwoods smell and summer camp. It smells like clean leather and munched autumn hay.

it was raining this morning, and that cats wanted to cuddle, so I came home after errands and made this tea. The cats rate it 5 stars, it was so savory that I sat at the table and drank the pot (thereby allowing for extended lap time, an unusual event in our house indeed!) I love dark chocolate but I usually don’t like chocolate flavored things, nevertheless the idea of a black genmaicha was so intriguing that I bought a small amount. Verdant certainly hit the mark on this one; despite the unusual blend of elements the flavors were harmonious. The scent was almost chocolate hazelnut-not in an over the top eat a jar of nutella with a spoon way but like a roasted hazelnut truffle smells (or ought to).

not 100 because my favorite teas are big bad blacks, basically builders, robust enough to brew very hot and take a glug of milk. Preferably consumed at dawn of a clear, crisp day while on the way to the barn.
