ModestMix Teas

Local shop had it, so I got it. The tea spoke to me on two levels: 1. I’m a smart ass. 2. It has oolong in it. That’s all it needed to sell me.

Trying it out, the tea’s balanced. Lemongrass and peel are dominant with the ginkgo/ginseng. The oolong and green tea provide mostly body and texture, but not a lot in terms of flavor.

Overall, the tea’s straightforward. I can see a lot of people on this site snubbing it. I think it’s a little expensive for $15 for 2 oz, but I was happy I got it once to support a local cafe shop. This one is easy for me to enjoy because I enjoy lemongrass and lemon peel, and the gingko helps with my headache. Otherwise, I wouldn’t get it again and I’d only recommend it if you like lemony things or functional herbal teas.
