Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. So many teas have gone undocumented since medical school started to eat up all of my free time.
But here I am, procrastinating when I should be studying brain anatomy. What can you do?
I was very pleasantly surprised by this tea. For Christmas, a dear friend of mine gave me a gift in the form of a care package that contained two bags of tea from Teavana, marked “pick me up” and “take me down.” I thought this was the sweetest thing ever, since my life has completely gone off the rails in recent months. It’s not bad, really, since I like the idea of working towards a goal and giving it my all, but as any medical student can attest, it’s quite exhausting.
Anyway, this was the “pick me up” tea. It’s pleasantly caffeinated, but not so much to upset my stomach or give me jitters. With my ever-expanding list of chronic health issues, this makes a big difference. I tried having some coffee for the first time in months yesterday, and it just… didn’t work. Ugh. This, on the other hand, will be a great way to start my mornings for the next while. It’s got a hint of fruity sweetness without being overly chemical or too sugary. I’m also quite enjoying pu-ehr now that I know how to steep it properly. The earthy tea and sweet strawberries balance each other very well, and make for a drink that’s both relaxing and invigorating in all the right ways.
I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a bit of fruity goodness without the sticky sugar aftertaste.
