What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happenin’, what’s the buzz . . . The Buzz is ALL THE CAFFEINE EVER. Seriously. Look at the ingredient list. Maté, guarana, green tea, and then matcha for godssakes. And then ginger because why the hell not. This tea should taste like cough medicine, but it packs such a citrus punch that it’s deceptively sweet. Just make sure none of the maté leaves escape because those get stuck in your throat. Oh yeah, the flavour – definitely more citrus than ginger. Reminds me of various other citrus matés I’ve had, but covers up the medicinal taste of the base leaves entirely. Tastes like an herbal. DOES NOT KICK LIKE AN HERBAL. I was exhausted when I ordered this at DT, and then suddenly had the energy for two more hours of shopping and carrying all of our groceries at once. I’m so glad I picked up a bag to take to work, this will be just the mid-afternoon kick in the ass I need. Also – I actually could have let this one steep longer. Whenever I order tea to go, unless I’m really quick on the draw it gets easily oversteeped, but I pulled the bag after about five minutes and could have let it go for a few minutes more.

Mmmm. Tea. I have become a believer.

I like oolongs and greens, and dark smoky flavours. And Earl Greys. All the Earl Greys. I have bent my nerd powers to learning as much as I can about tea and tea culture. I have started to ramble about tea.

Tea. Mmmm.
