With minimal caffeine, this tea wakes me up without the unnecessary kick. You can taste the cinnamon, lemongrass, and orange notes, but the papaya and pineapple fall short (which is fine, since that might make the tea unappealing to me). I typically do not brew this one twice, but the price is decent.
Tasting notes:
First steep: 1.5tsp/8oz, 200 degrees, 4 minutes.
Second steep: 200 degrees, 5 minutes.
