“Do you feel like a Zombie this morning?”
That is question that is posed in the description of this tea on the Butiki website.
Why, yes, I do.
Last night was so hot and stuffy that I barely slept, so I am groggy and grumpy this morning.
It did not help that my dog ran away this morning too (she is back safe and sound after I went running through fields after her)
This tea certainly evokes sunshine upon opening its bag, bright and citrus.
The scent encourages us Zombies along in the making process…turn on kettle…grumble grumble…measure tea…grumble grumble…pour water…grumble…WAIT 6 Minutes!! GRUMBLE!
Tea is a golden brown in color.
I have never drank a brown tea before.
I must mention that I have not drank a Guayusa Tea before either.
Once brewed the tea takes on more of a herbal scent.
It reminds me of a herbal tea my Mother would have made me drink for some ailment as a wee lass.
As for the sip, I was quite surprised at a dry like pucker that appeared.
The tea reminds me of a dry wine, it appears on the tongue and then evaporates.
I am finding this tea so interesting!
It is complex, light and bright, herbal yet slightly bitter, perky yet centering.
It seems to be shooing away my zombie grumbles though, so I think I will just sit back and contemplate this tea and maybe life itself.

Yes…the answer is YES. I felt like a Zombie this morning
Must be catching ;)
I still feel like a Zombie.
Well, if I could email you some of this tea to you so you could get it instantly I would!
I love the perk guayusa gives you.
Well, no perk yet. But looking forward to it kicking in:)
I need this. :O)
so glad you got your pup back!
Me too. She usually is a “stick to your side” type of gal, but once and awhile she gets the urge to bolt.
She probably was just trying to cool off too…a little wind flapping her ears:)
My pup always comes when you call, but he loses it when spots a squirrel. He runs off and doesn’t realize you’re calling him until the squirrel is out of sight. then he comes trotting back looking contrite. Doggies are silly little things. Glad you got your pup back. :)
At least the pup came back safe, lots aren’t that lucky…
Oh, my “furry ones” are very special to me.
I would not have rested until she was safe and sound:)
This does taste good. I’d join you but my queezies are still with me. I have to be better by tomorrow for the tea festival in Boulder…meeting Chadao and Rachel there and taking 2 classes. Barf! Wish we could all attend a tea meetup.
Hope you will be feeling shipshape for tomorrow!
I like the idea of a tea tasting meetup someday:)
