Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – February 2024 Tea #6- A tea that energizes you
I thought of this one for this prompt. It’s supposed to have natural caffeine added making it “3x the caffeine of a regular tea”, whatever that means, so in theory, it should energize me… not sure if it does. Before steeping, I do notice on the leaf in the pyramid tea bag, that there is like a matte coating to some of the leaves… that must be the added caffeine. The flavor is decent enough, yet unique for an earl, most reminds me of grapefruit with a hint of cream. Next time is a sipdown, not quite yet!
I was also thinking of this tea because I was looking for Angry Tea Room’s Caramel Popcorn Movie Night blend and it looked like Tea Guys used to have it. Tea Guys have since closed and apparently had legal issues? And Zest Tea was previously involved with Tea Guys which brought them to court? And I thought “hey, I have some of Zest tea around here.” A shame Tea Guys didn’t make it. But it’s also a shame I won’t be able to find Caramel Popcorn Movie Night again…
