Kendall’s Teaview Snapshot

After a short brewing time of maybe only three minutes, we were ready to
go. Casimir requested his tea over ice and declared it a mighty success
with about a teaspoon of sugar. The color was quite beautiful, similar
to the color of tree buds in the spring after a long, cold winter. I
poured my tea at about five minutes and the color had deepened to a rich
amber. I took my tea hot and naked. It was earthy and slightly tart,
giving the impression of, well, a really good quality green tree. I
found my second cup, which had developed a few minutes longer, took on a
wheat grass flavor. I'm fighting tonsilitis and I have to say that this
tea soothed my scratchy throat, too, which was an added bonus!
I liked this tea and would drink it again, although I would definitely
use fewer leaves in the future.

I drank one cup of this and immediately was charged with a balanced and calm energy. the flavor and smell is mildly vegetal, not at all grassy, and very balanced with a light aftertaste.
In second and third steepings the high energy charge is less, obviously, but there is still a lot of flavor and a good calm feeling from the theanine.
At a guess I would imagine this tea is very high in theanine in particular and plenty of caffeine as well. good stuff.
My Rating:








10/10
