Another Great review from one of our Fans

LOVE!! nitedreamer reviewed September 5, 2008 at 4:35 pm I’ve tried two of the two leaves and a bud flavors- the Orange Sencha and the Peppermint. The Orange Sencha was okay, but the peppermint is awesome.† It’s my splurge tea, my “I want a little pampering this morning tea”, my luxury in a cardboard box tea. You can tell it’s quality by your first peek at the tea bags- nylon drawstrings that house whole leaves of tea, not just powder. The tea bags are strong enough to make two big cups (I brew my tea in beer mugs, so I’m guessing I get about the equivalent of 4 cups?). This is pricey tea, but it is well worth it.† One cup, and you won’t want to go back.
