GARVEY'S GHOST: Energy-Lift grüner + schwarzer Tee

I was worried the green tea would get lost next to the hibiscus, but the black tea gives it enough backbone to keep things balanced. Steeped it about four minutes and got a clean cup with a warm finish, no bitterness at all.

I was skeptical that a tea named after Marcus Garvey could taste this good, but that tart hibiscus balanced perfectly against the black and green tea base. The loose leaves brew up a deep red-crimson color and the energy lift hit me about twenty minutes into my afternoon slump.

The warming spice note lingers just long enough after the black and green tea base, making this a genuinely cozy afternoon pick-me-up rather than just another fruity brew. I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week, which says a lot since I usually rotate teas slowly.
