I think it was Michelle that suggested combining Morning Thunder with another black tea to minimize the mate whang and and maximize the mate bang. Thus, after an inconvenient wake-up at 4:30 (no emergency; just husband and cats acting like it was daylight), I have a tumbler of Morning Thunder/Tazo Awake steeped to a lethal consistency close to hand. Results? Judging from the number of zone-outs so far this morning, I may just need to dunk my head in ice water ;)

Wow that sounds potent. I think it was a rose hip/ hibiscus blend I used with the Thunder. Not sure my nerves could handle Awake and Thunder together. I go for a strong Assam (awesome tea) when I need a jolt.

My dad drank coffee so dark it could crawl out of the cup…I absolutely can’t handle coffee these days, but the morning cuppa definitely needs tow chains on it! I wonder if Morning Thunder might pair nicely with something fall-ish, too…cinnamon, maple maybe? Will have to experiment.

I would try cloves instead of cinnamon. And maybe a piece of ginger.

That sounds good, too. Thunder-chai!
