Can’t say goodbye

This has to be my number one. I’m in love with tea. I love the taste and the dark green color. I have been drinking Gyokuro for some years. I’m one the suffer from bad allergies and for me personally when I started drinking this tea I don’t have those problems. I have to admit the taste is a little bitter so just sweeten it with a little honey.

I love this tea! It gives me energy so I drink it when I wake up. It also got rid of my sugar cravings. I don't even think about sweets now. There is something about it that just makes you feel good, focused and relaxed but not tired all day. You'll just have to try it for your self...

First class!

As a tea connoisseur, I have tried several gyokuro teas, and find this one by Capital Teas to be the best I have had. The smell reminds me of freshly cut grass and the clean taste invigorates my spirit. Caution: keep your eye on the time, and ensure the water is not too hot, or else the Zen of this tea will be washed away.
