Not for beginners (as the man says)
My most intense tea experience so far. I needed a break half way through and this has never happened to me before.
The flavour is very pleasant, mild and sweet. The dry leaves in particular have a very clean fresh fragrance. Hits all the right notes, absolutely nothing in the flavour profile disrupted the enjoyment of this session. Nothing to wash out, nothing to wait until it dies down nothing to bypass or get over.
The interesting (and high-price justifying) aspects of this tea are the effects and body feeling. I know it affects everyone different, but I feel stoned. Actually stoned. Properly stoned. Yes, stoned. Light sweating, numb head, floaty feeling limbs. Whilst this may be groovy, it limits when and where I can enjoy this tea. The term “Daily drinker” has never made more sense to me, because this is the polar opposite. I don’t know how often I could sit down and, well basically, consume drugs.
I want to get a cake though! I’m a big Bob Dylan fan and the fact that the name comes from one of his poems (“Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie”) and the entire poem is transcribed on the wrapper…… This may just tip me over the edge. Darn you TwoDog and your cool hipster marketing ;)
Definitely get a sample next time you’re ordering. Just for the experience. And set aside a few hours.
UPDATE: I just ordered a full cake.

A Google search tells me that Holland 1945 is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel. It was used as the outro song for the final show of Stephen Colbert’s “The Colbert Report”
Have you figured out the ‘Colbert’ theme yet? Another one of these messages I think.
