Taster’s Review:

Of the three different teas from BijaBody Health + Beauty I was sent to try, this was the one with which I hesitated longest.  I could think of all kinds of silly excuses, but, if I were to be completely honest, it was because it was a “man” tea, and well, the last time I checked, I’m a woman.

But, really, that’s pretty silly too.  It’s a tea!  There are some herbals in there that are definitely intended for men, but, I have never claimed to drink tea for its health benefits, so why should I not drink a tea because of its purported health benefits for men?

This tea has a strong earthy quality to it, much stronger than I recall tasting with either the Daily Beauty Tea or the Nightly Beauty Tea from BijaBody.  I definitely taste the Pu-erh here, but, it isn’t an overwhelming or off-putting flavor.  I also taste the Oolong, and I can feel the texture from the Oolong too – its smooth and almost creamy.

This also has a slight medicinal quality to it, but not so much that it makes me want to stop drinking it.  The medicinal flavor is balanced out with the warm spice notes in the background as well as the tea flavors to give this a very enjoyable taste.  After a glance at the ingredients, I worried that the cayenne might be a bit too much for the cup, but, it is actually quite subtle, providing a little bit of heat, but, certainly not to the point where I’d categorize this as spicy or even medium-hot.  It has a mild spice – it’s warm and energizing.

Overall, this is an enjoyable beverage, even for those of us who are not men.  If I were to change anything about it, though, I should like for there to be more of a chocolate taste from the cacao nibs… I taste only hints of cocoa here.  But for what it is, I found it quite agreeable.
