Giving it another whirl…

I think I should have let this steep longer, but the tinier tea leaves were leaking through the little infuser spoon I used so I got a little impatient. This would be pretty decent if stronger.

Had two cups today. Helped to wake me up a bit and feel at peace, but perhaps I went too far because now I’m feeling pretty overly emotional. Um?

Oh yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!!! Delightfully refreshing. I had three cups of this last night.

First off, this stuff smells sooooo good. Orange blossomy with just a hint of cherry. I have to be honest, I’m more interested in the history, culture, and supposed benefits of this tea than I am the taste. It’s not as potent as I’d like it to be, so maybe two bags next time. If it improves my ability to concentrate this AM, I will surely forgive it 100 percent for tasting weak.

This was very different and kind of hard for me to describe. It’s almost like a coffee/tea blend, I guess you could say. It definitely has a slight coffee taste to it and has some creamy, nutty flavors to it. I really liked it and felt like it helped to wake me up and allow me to think clearly. Could be purely psychological. I’ll let you know as I try more of it in the future. :o)

I absolutely love this tea. It freshens your breath and calms your spirits with spearminty goodness.
