I ordered this because I’ve never seen myrtle sold in packages before. Herbals often have a mild flavor, but this had no flavor. The leaves float for awhile, then they eventally sink to the bottom. I left them in my cup, waiting for the water to achieve any slight color, any at all… or any flavor at all. One cup is all I will ever need, this is a novelty, and I don’t see the point of it. No color, no flavor, no noticeable effects…. worse than chamomile. Threw it out.

I take my tea plain, no sugar, no milk. I don’t think I should have to wheedle nudge or cadjole the flavor to reconcile it to the name on the label. If it’s good, it should stand up by itself.
Excellent Video on how to prepare matcha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NRB93In-rE
Favourites—Chinese tea. European blends. Black, puerh, oolong, spiced and Guayusa. Kusmi, Butiki
Meh to Ick—White tea, Indian tea then green is pretty far down on my list.
Dislikes—Rooibos. Matcha. Anything with hibiscus. Lipton. Celestial Seasonings. Bigelow. Red Rose. Red Leaf Tea.
I just love my camelia. Even if I hate a certain kind of tea, I still find it’s provenance interesting. The cultural aspects are every bit as fascinating as the flavor aspects, or maybe more so. Empires have been built and bankrupted over the humble tea leaf.
Becomming cynical about tea companies that are too hyped. Certain tea companies that use candy in their blend, certain tea companies that give away free tea for reviews posted all over the internet with links back to their store. Once someone has posted that kind of review, I tend to discredit their objectivity. I’m no longer interested in reading their reviews. sorry.
FYI—female—married— to a coffee drinker (but he is willing to try my exotic teas, bless him)
