Nothing wrong with different strokes. If I had to drink one tea for
the rest of my life it would be SowMee. It's the only tea I can think
of with a refreshing taste. It is the most honest tea I've ever
tasted. It is more nutrients than taste. It is the Gatorade of teas.
One day it struck me. Simple teas taste great. This is the best of
the simplest. It has the singularity of aroma and taste. It can't
fool anyone. What you smell and taste is what you get. Honestly you
can't appreciate this tea till you down lots of pots of everything
else.
