From Whispering Pines Tea Company

The Inspiration
This tea was inspired by Montana De Oro State Park on the central coast of California. Biking up past the eucalyptus groves and into the chilly marine layer is one of the most calming experiences I’ve ever had. Zen Master — the perfectly balanced blend of green tea, yerba maté, rooibos and eucalyptus. You can’t walk into the foggy sunrise without it. Let the scent of eucalyptus and smokey gunpowder green tea awaken you. Namaste, graceful warrior.

Yea I really wanted this one! OK I’m sure it has something to do with my interest in Buddhism so that is kind of pretentious but oh well. :)

I feel a sore throat coming on which sucks because I really don’t want to get sick. I’m enjoying this blend a lot though, thinking the eucalyptus might be good for a sore throat. The smoky gunpowder has some nice pine notes and I feel like I should be out in the woods hanging with the druids or something. A nice blend! I might have oversteeped this a bit but I think it’s still good.

I wonder if some Greek Mountain Tea might soothe your throat a bit?

TeaBrat

Dunno – can you get it at Whole foods?

Scott B

I don’t know. No Whole Foods around here. I would think you could find it in SF, but I’m sure you don’t want to spend a lot of time looking for it if you’re not feeling well.

It’s kind of a generic cure-all for colds and such in Greece. I don’t know if it specifically works on sore throats.

TeaBrat

yeah, I’ll probably just go home and crash out early, I know I have not been sleeping well lately

I’m getting a sore throat too…will be drinking zen master and clari tea. that combo usually does it for me :)

I was craving this tea tonight. With such a crazy week going on right now with work and school, I need some Zen in my life. This has such a lovely fresh flavor and im hoping it kind of chills me out and keeps my headache from returning. This is such a lovely blend that it’s difficult to describe the flavor, everything in it just flows into this river of excellent flavor. I like it, and must have this more often. I will rate it when I’m not on my phone. See previous notes on this tea :)

Oh, and also thought I’d post a photo of the mug I’m drinking it out of, because it is beautiful and I meant to put a pic up when I got it, oh and it seems to match the tea very nicely tonight (hopefully the link works lol)

You should try this for two minutes in boiling water :)

mrs.stenhouse12

Is it even better that way? I will definitely try that next time!

Whispering Pines Tea Company

Yep, that’s the way I’ve been doing it for a while now. I definitely prefer it that way :)

mrs.stenhouse12

Mm, BLISS.
That’s all I can say about this tea, it’s fantastic! The scent of Eucalyptus overwhelms you (in a GOOD way) and floats you off onto a distant, blissful planet. This tea wasn’t for waking up for me personally, it’s for relaxing. Even though this tea has Yerba Mate, this tea relaxes me and allows all of those pleasant ‘feel good feelings’ to go through me while I sit and relax. I may be a little weird though, because caffeine has the opposite effect on me then it does on other people. Caffeine makes me relaxed and SLEEPY! So that could be why this tea relaxes me. Nonetheless, this tea is very good and I’d recommend it!

I don’t think I’ve ever had eucalyptus in a tea, but I really like it. This is a very relaxing tea despite containing yerba mate. It is making a nice addition to reading also. I’m trying to finish up Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister- its good, but honestly Wicked was way better.

Two mugs of Zen Master kicked my sinus headache to the curb; worked better than meds. I’m going to need to buy more.
