Thursday Tea Time - Bee Buzzed

This week - The Republic of Tea Hi CAF Teas - "Gingermint Green"


Cost:   $11.99 at Whole Foods
Number of teabags:   50 !
Caffeine:  Yes
Type of tea:   Oomped up Green
Steeping time:  1 to 3 minutes.
Add ins:  Just a little honey ; )
Ingredients:  Green tea, ginger, spearmint, peppermint and green tea extract.
Fragrance:  Speartminty-ginger
Opinion:  You know when the steeping time starts at 1 minute, this is going to be a strong tea!   Comparatively.  Premium green tea has 25 mg caffeine.  This has 50 mg.  Coffee has 100 mg.  So you won't get jittery, just a nice boost.  And a boost in flavor.  I really like this combo.  I may try a bag each of Yogi Tea Ginger and Trader Joe's Mint Medley when I don't want the caffeine later in the day or after dinner.  This particular flavor was featured on Oprah.com as a 2014 Food Trend.
There were several other flavors in this line.  I went back to grab the Caramel Black tea (140 mg) and the Toasted Coconut Black tea (123 mg) but they were gone.  Hopefully they've restocked.  They will definitely be morning teas!  0.0
Rating: 4.5

Bee Clever!



Bee even more clever!
