Tea Review: David's Tea Guayusa
One of the sample teas I received with my first tea order from David's Tea was this Guayusa tea. I don't mind admitting I was a little reluctant to try it. I just had never heard of it and had nothing to expect. Except what the label said. Here is what David's Tea has to say about the Guayusa:
We are seriously passionate about guayusa around here, and we couldn't be more excited to spread the word. Not only does it pack an incredible burst of energy, it's also deliciously smooth, never bitter and lightly sweet. Plus it's steeped in over 2000 years of Amazonian tradition and legend.
It's grassy all right! In fact, the first time I tasted it I was reminded of one of my favorite smells in the world. Fresh cut grass clippings. The tea is just that simple. I haven't decided yet whether it has an energy boost. The light grassy flavor is slightly refreshing, but I'm not sure about energy boosting.
It's inexpensive enough that I would order a bag of this to have around for when I don't want a spicy black tea. If it was an expensive tea, I probably wouldn't give it another thought, but the price is right and the taste is comforting. I can no longer drink chamomile tea as it upsets my allergies and I am having a heck of a time finding another perfectly balance roobios since the World Market brand I liked so much is no longer made. I think this will fit the bill just fine to replace those two light comfort teas.
