What a lovely wake-up tea, even if I messed it up a bit.
You see, I was in a rush yesterday to grab a rental vehicle to grab a desk and chair for my daughter from a friend whose moving. I’ve struggled with sleep the past few days, so I thought something called “Good Morning, Sunshine!” would do nicely. I steeped it exactly as per Stacy’s instructions, and then promptly left it on the counter, in my go-to cup, as I ran out the door. By the time I got home late last night, I knew it was too late for a guayusa. And so, I packed it up and left the tea until now.
Maybe it’s because I left it out overnight, however I taste more of the sharpness of the guayasa in this blend than in other Butiki guayasa’s. Still, it’s absolutely lovely, and tastes like meringue pie. This actually strongly reminds me of Lemon Meringue Rooibos by Tealish – sweet, creamy and tartly lemonlicious. Only difference between the two is the base, and I could love them equally depending on the time of day.
I almost had this one this morning/afternoon when I got up, but opted to try the sample of Hattialli Golden Lion Assam instead.
