I was very pleased to see that O-cha is currently offering this tea!! Having read some information about it several months ago online, I was curious to try it.
I found for first impressions that the tea did have a very unique aroma. I found it very pleasing and it reminded me of the sweet-fermented smell of freshly-made yogurt, it actually made my mouth water, I did not find it off-putting at all.
The taste is just as the description conveys, a very nutty and buttery full taste, one that I find very appealing Delicious in fact!
As for the health benefits, I experienced two immediate benefits, a deeper more restful sleep, and a decrease in chronic pain.
It is a great tea to start the day with, giving a sense of wellness and relaxed-alertness. Very enjoyable!
I plan on buying more, and I do hope that O-cha will make this a regularly available tea, Thank you O-cha for offering this delicious tea!
