Wow this is sweeter than I remember. Stevia is the polarizing one, monk fruit is also in there.
Yeah, it’s a bit like aspartame to me. At least it’s derived from plants.
For all this tea’s herbal ingredients it really does have the body of a sweet tangerine, with less acidity. I even ate a tangerine while drinking this tea, you know, for the effect.
I’m leveling my rating on this one after getting more into loose leaf and discovering what a world of flavor can come from respecting the leaves and really focusing your energy on the process with a gaiwan. Of course, that takes time and skill.
This is mass produced and a good coffee alternative due to the caffeine content, but I have shied away from that in tea recently. I would rather savor the experience.
I’m also riding the caffeine high from this tea now, and it’s nice.
Good to have on hand if I’m in a hotel without the ability to drink better tea and would like a morning pick me up. Just not something I would get excited about sharing with guests.
Flavors: Stevia, Sweet, Tangerine
