This is one of those teas that I am always very excited about when I plan to have it sometime during the day. Imagine my excitement when I find a tin of this in the cupboard at my new work office the other day! I have been drinking Zen for a few years now, ever since I discovered it at Starbucks, where I also used to work (and developed a special love for Tazo teas). Every time I open the tin, the bright and fresh aroma of the tea just washes all over me, wakes up my senses and lifts my spirits!
The steeping time for this particular tea is quite short, only about 2-3 mins – otherwise is takes on a strong and slightly off-putting bitter taste. When steeped just right, the flavours are simply amazing – the most delicate balance of minty green tea with a kick of citrus and lemon! Honestly, how can you go wrong with this one? It’s my absolute favourite, and it will be part of my collection forever. :)
