Ha I have no idea what the name of this tea means, but I’m still working on the advent calendar from last year, and this was next. I definitely prefer the more desserty Teeccino flavors. This one is a little herbaceous, but still not bad.

Cordyceps is a term for fungus, schisandra might be a type, then mushroom incase you didn’t get the cordyceps part and last adaptogen which seems like the new health food hot word like antioxidant once was, but this one has to do with relieving stress. It’s not a name that would sell me on a tea! LOL!

Schisandra is an adaptogenic berry – has a more tart/sour flavour. Dustin’s spot on with cordyceps being a mushroom – the one that caused the zombie outbreak in The Last of Us, actually.

Schisandra sounds like somebody sneezing! (Sorry, just had to say it!)

Or – hear me out gmathis – like someone summoning a cartoon superhero while slamming their rings together. Anybody else familiar with the cartoon SHAZAN and no I do not mean Shazam. Ashman was so confused the first time I brought it up because somehow he missed that one in childhood.

gmathis

I might have missed that one, too. (If it came on opposite from Sigmund and the Sea Monsters or Lidsville, that explains it.)

There should be two z’s in Shazzan, my bad. The camel’s name was Kaboobie. Yes, there was a camel. If I remember correctly, it was a flying camel. It’s been a long time….

Dustin

If this tea’s name had “zombie” or “flying camel” in it, it would have grabbed my attention for sure!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
