What flavor is there is great. It’s what is not there that’s a problem for me. I couldn’t taste the oolong at all.
This is true…Didn’t taste the oolong, either
Kinda just tasted like hot lemon juice to me, w/o the acid burning my throat.
You just said “sure… why not?” to a tea. Haha… I envy your laid back way of life.
You sound a bit jazzed in this post… did someone spike the tea?
Harney & Sons The Store, isn’t some tea supposed to make you hyper? I get REALLY hyper (the 1st time especially) I taste a really good tea. 52teas Mayan Chocolate Chai makes me feel that way all the time=D
Some of it can be psychosomatic, like really enjoying your tea, but generally speaking chai tea on its own doesn’t have much effect really, unless it’s been sweetened. CTC assam is kind of a dreg tea used when making Chai, and as a primarily leaf based tea, it doesn’t give much in the caffeine department. I also only steep my CTC assams and chais for 3 minutes, so caffeine release is minimal for the small amount of time I steep it.
If you’re really looking for a tea to jazz you up, Matés, Whites and Matcha are really the best :). Of course, you’re own bliss helps :-P
Oh I know all of my tea related hyperness is purely psychosomatic:) Matcha actually comforts and relaxes me.
I’ve never had the Citron Oolong… but Rishi’s Citron Green Iced Tea… FRUIT LOOPS. Totally fruit loops! But not in a bad way. In an… odd, “I actually really like this” kind of way. :)
You know, I really want to try this tea now – just so I can see if it actually does taste like Fruit Loops. ;D
