Oh no, no, no, this is not working for me.
A while ago, I told Dexter I had never tried Verdant’s blends and she was generous enough to send me a few.
This morning, reading Sarsonator ’s review, I realized I still had this sample.
She wrote in her review that it was “orange and weird”, and I must agree with her. There’s something off in this. I actually love all the ingredients part of this blend and I have to rule them all out except one.
The culprit: coriander.
I like coriander, but it belongs in my food. And there is a lot in this sample! I think the proportion of ingredients is unbalanced.
It tastes like citrus peel with a little cinnamon and lots of coriander.
Too bad, cause it has potential, but it’s just not for me.
Thank you Dexter for sending me some, now I know I don’t have to buy it :-)

Hhmmmmm coriander. Mystery solved. I guess you won’t be wanting me to send you the rest of my 1oz bag. :p
Yes, now I’m gonna eat cherries to wash my mouth :-) It’s not as if I had some amazing Gulf oysters on the grill tonight, but cherries will have to do for now;-)
Lol, Sarsonator, I thanked you for that on your post, you are so sweet for offering, but yes, I’m gonna pass, you are stuck with it for now, (unless you want to give it another chance???)
I’m willing to brave the coriander villain if you want to send me some! Muahaha! :P
I noticed that so e people really liked it when I checked the tasting notes! Maybe my boyfriend will like it!
Oh super, Cameron! PM me your info and it’s all yours!
The amazing grilled Gulf oysters were pretty amazing. so was the fromage blanc and ripe plum gelato :O
But you have CHERRIES
Lol.
I have avocados. In case anyone wondered. :p
I want really awesome cherries that didn’t travel 1500 miles
Avocados totally rock also Sarsonator ;-)
We’d have to move to Michigan MzPriss…. Sour cherries :-)
Vanilla Citrus blend also has coriander so I couldn’t take it either. I like coriander in rye bread only
i love this blend and vanilla citrus spice…you just have to steep them for like 10 mins
Oooh – good tip!
Uh-oh.. I ordered this!
I had enough left for one more cup so I tried the 10 min steep…but still…way too much CORIANDER!!!
But thanks for the tip Sil, it was worth trying :-)
Now I need a mouthwash tea!!
Oh no! Have a cup of Laoshan Black with me – it will make it all better
LB is next!! Thanks for the invite :-)
hahahaha i don’t even notice the coriander lol
