Well it arrived yesterday and I`m glad the packet didn`t split when the postman was bringing it as it just looks like a bag of weed :lol:

Tastes similar to green tea with that bitterness but there is a bit of a kick to it when it kicks in which is much stronger thn coffee or green tea..

Also seems to work with digetion as well.

when you say it works well with digestion, is that drinking it after a meal??

So is it pretty similar to tea just let it steep in hot water and then down it goes?

Similar but has a higher caffiene content and is quite good for the digestion
