My tummy and I are still at odds, and I needed some caffeine, so I went with this tea.
I drank it hot and I steeped it for 5 minutes – it says 1-2 minutes on the box, but that’s always too weak for me. I added a few drops of honey (although it’s just fine without too). The refreshing spearmint/black tea taste is helping me perk back up a bit. :)
I hate coffee and I love teas of all stripes (including herbal/tisanes)! My tea stash is getting out of control, so I’m trying to work through it – current count is 152+ flavors/types of tea/tisanes, bagged and loose. Woo!
My ratings:
0-10: Undrinkable. Probably threw the container away in a fit of rage.
10-25: Urgh. Gross. I need to give it away as it is taking up valuable tea cupboard space.
25-40: Uhh…why do I have this? May attempt foisting it onto my boyfriend.
40-55: Kinda funky, might drink it if I’m feeling under the weather and find it helpful, but that’s about it.
55-70: Ok, no great shakes, but I’ll drink it without complaint. I probably wouldn’t buy it again though.
70-85: If I come it across it and I’m in the mood, I’ll probably repurchase it.
85-100: Awesome! I will take extra time to find this again, and cry bitterly if it has been discontinued.
