42 Tasting Notes
I just returned from Teavana with this little number. Steeps to a deep copper color and even straight up is the B-O-M-B my fellow tea players.
My sales person said I could make a “Naughty Monkey” if I added some milk and sugar. I can imagine that being killer, but I am drinking for health benefits AND taste, so I don’t want to go that route. Ill-behaved primates aside, this is one good tea.

Quickly becoming my favorite. Only got it as a sample but have pretty much cashed that already. It has a smokey type flavor I totally didn’t expect from a green tea. Great straight up but even nicer with just a tiny bit of sugar.
