Another tea from ashmanra, and now a tea I actually liked very much. THANK YOU a lot!

Well, temperatures are hitting close to 30 even it’s around 10 am. There were cold days and kinda liked them bit more than those hot days. Yesterday I went to therapist, because my panic attacks and I had to get different pills (same effective drug, but different producer). To be honest it made me bit afraid. So, no more Elicea, but Cipralex now. But it should be same (I hope so).

Anyway to the tea. I almost let the water boil, but not completely. I think it could be around 90°C, if not even bit less.

Steeped for two, three minutes. Results were very nice — nice tea base, mellow, but present; lighlty vegetal, lighltly floral → nice white tea base. The bergamot (Earl Grey) notes were good, very refreshing, bit sour but nice for this hot day. This tea would be lovely if coldbrewed or iced, but as I had only one tea bag…

This is something I expected ashmanra. Really thank you for letting me try this tea, which was very nice to drink; and although it is not one of top ten teas I had, it was certainly worth trying. Maybe we are just more used to drink EG with bold tea base.

Flavors: Bergamot, Floral, Sour, Vegetal

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 30 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

The L-theanine in tea is helpful for panic attacks/anxiety-so keep on sipping! : )

I am glad you liked it! One of my students loves it and we have it together now and then.

One very young student of mine takes L-theanine and SAMe for anxiety and it seems to have helped a lot!

Thank you ladies for being so attentive :) I checked L-theanine and that sounds good, but I hopefully don’t need it when I have mine SSRIs. SAMe is incredlibly expensive over here.

Well, you do what you feel is best for your health, Martin. I take GABA and l-theanine for work stress and to help me sleep. SAMe never did anything for me, but my sister loves it. She takes it with her Wellbutrin and Lexapro for anxiety/panic disorder.
