We’ve all heard we should be drinking copious amounts of green tea because it’s going to save the whales, make us all young and cancer-free forever but I had never found a green tea I could really sink my teeth into. I always found green tea smelled of a horse barn and tasted like cow patties. That feeling of being on a farm with my nose plugged while drinking this steaming hot, colourless drink just wasn’t appealing enough to add it into my daily routine, even despite the promises of a thick, shiny coat.
I don’t remember when I first tried Tazo’s Zen green tea but I have at least one cup everyday. It’s like a drug. Perhaps I should read the label more closely to be sure it isn’t in fact drugs.
The box boasts “a harmonious blend with lemongrass & spearmint,” it doesn’t say anything about hay bales or barns. Maybe it’s the spearmint and lemongrass I like and not the green part of the tea at all. Still, I feel as though I’m doing something good for my mind, body and spirit and it tastes great.
