For example, when asked "What did you put in your tea?"

The flavor began as a light sweetness and then crescendo-ed into a grand orchestration of savory, blissfully sweet, yet earthy delights! I became enraptured and clenched my fists, looking towards the sky and exclaiming, 'WWWOOOOOOOWWWWW!! That's some great honey!'"

There's sesquipedalian and prolix but I'm not sure they convey the senses of over-enthusiasm and passion. Perhaps grandiloquent. It means

Pompous or extravagant in language, style, or manner
