I received this in a gift set. I don’t think it was a tea I would have normally picked out for myself. I’ve never had a Pu’erh. I try to stay away from black teas because of the caffeine. I drink a lot of teas at night so this isn’t one I’ve had before. I made a point to get up and make a cup of tea this morning and use this one. I’m really ,really surprised. I like it!! I can taste the berry. Strawberry maybe? and a hint of mint. I do normally add honey or rock sugar to most of my teas. I thought if this was a weight loss tea perhaps I wouldn’t need any sugar. Nope. It doesn’t need anything. I can see repurchasing this one as a morning pick me up! I think I’m a little to new to teas to have a discerning palate yet. I don’t get all the flavors that are in this one- yet. I’m certainly surprised and am enjoying it!

Flavors: Berries, Mint, Strawberry

This sounds good, it’s an unfortunate name for it maybe?

I think it’s supposed to help with weight loss. Well, that’s what I get out of the name. I made it in my Breville one touch so I made enough for 2 cups. The second cup I let get a little cool. I noticed the bitter aftertaste when cold that I didn’t notice when hot. So, I think it’s best had hot.

This tea has pu-erh in it, which is supposed to speed up metabolism (possibly helping with weight loss). I believe that’s the idea, anyway.

Your note about black tea and caffeine caught my eye. It’s strictly an urban myth that black tea has more caffeine than other kinds of tea. It all depends on how it’s processed. You can Google caffeine levels of different kinds of tea; here’s the first one I found" http://www.choiceorganicteas.com/caffeineintea.php. Hope that helps you sleep better at night!

Last year while out of town I found teavana and fell in love. I love hot spicy teas. This year I returned and purchased even more. I also received the Breville One Touch for my birthday. I’m open to expanding past Teavana. I signed up for the monthly box. I’d really like to find an organic flavorful tea company! Looking forward to sipping away!
Update: spicy chai’s are still my favorite. But I’ve found I also like mint, green, jasmine, oolong.
I have also discovered I don’t like floral. The old lady smell is enough to make me not even try it brewed.
And undecided about herbals. Guess I haven’t tried enough of those yet.

Still on my discovery journey of teas.
