CAPTAIN TEA'S WELL-BEING BLEND

In addition to Fog Island Japanese Sencha and Chinese Pu Erh teas, which are currently being exposed to much ado in the press regarding their alleged benefits to weight loss, I have added my favourite, and I believe healthiest of teas, Gabalong 'Blue' Oolong. With the final addition of our Tea of Life White Tea for good measure, if there is anything in the health aspect of tea, we should have it covered here! Whilst there is much evidence to support tea's image of being a very healthy beverage to consume, I wonder if these facts are being manipulated to prey on our desires for a quick fix to the eternal problem of maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. However, many of you are keen to put it to the test, and anecdotally many of our customers have found these teas individually to be helpful, so we have prepared the blend as requested. These teas, are delicious drunk individually and I cannot find any evidence to support their being more effective drunk as a blend, but I agree that it makes life a little easier having them together! The tea flavour is a mellow mix, with the distinctive note of caramel and vanilla of the Gabalong tea in the foreground. The delicate notes of the Sencha, whilst somewhat subdued by the other teas, adds a fresh edge to the cup, with the more earthy tones of the Pu Erh adding weight and body. I do not wish to enter into the world of science and add to the many claims made about this or any tea as I do not feel qualified to do so. From a personal point of view, and as you know, I love tea most for its flavours and fragrances, I do agree that tea brings about a general feeling of well-being, when prepared and drunk properly, slowly and in tranquility.
