Thanks again to QuiltGuppy for getting me a 3-week subscription… this is week 2!
This is a very interesting take on Earl Grey… the Guayusa brings out some of the sweeter notes of the bergamot, while allowing the tangy qualities to really come through nicely. An interesting contrast playing out on the palate.
It’s really quite good!

what is ‘guayusa’?
@Kashyap: Guayusa is a tree from the Amazon. The leaves are are steeped similar to tea. The flavor is strong and smooth, no bitterness.
looking it up, it says it has nearly 2% by weight volume proportion of caffiene and is one of the most caffienated plants out there….wow….
Yes, but interestingly enough, it doesn’t affect me the way that coffee’s caffeine would. I felt all jittery and even nauseated when I would drink coffee. Not so with Guayusa.
