Thursday Tea Time



This week - Numi Peach Pu-erh Tea
Cost: $2 at Central Market, $1.50 with current 50 cent off manufacturer's coupon
Caffeine:
Type of tea: Green Pu-erh organic tea
Ingredients: Osmanthus and hibiscus flowers, peach puree, ginger juice, organic sugar (9g), passionfruit juice
Opinion: The label says, "Ancient Healing Tea - Rejuvenate" OK! Well, here's the backstory. I found four stalks of purple stock flowers at Central Market for only $4 and thought it would be a great way to scent and cheer my hotel room. And I needed a vase. And I was thirsty. And I was starting to drag butt a bit after a long day in Austin. Kismet! This wasn't bad. Despite all the ingredients - shake before drinking, they settle at the bottom - it only has 50 calories. A peachy flavor with a ginger afterkick with bonus 99% more antioxidants than regular tea. And look - Vitamin A-4%, Vitamin C-12%, Calcium-2%, Iron-4%. Overall, a very healthy, drinkable and recyclable tea.
Rating: 3.5
