Tea Reviews

It's no surprise that tea can bring the best out of you.  It is also no secret that some of the mysterious components of tea make your brain do some crazy things.  In the years from the TeaAmigos being fledgling teasan to blossoming into fully distinguished and gifted teasans, camellia sinensis has taught of many things about this so-called existence aptly named... life.

1.  Don't Overdo It (oversteeping)

Just like too much acting can lead to bad acting, too much steeping can lead to bad tea.  Relate this to life and you get the simple motto of "don't overdo it".  We once thought it would be a brilliant idea to review 50 teas in one day.  The results were not so pleasant, and borderline dangerous.  Realize that most of the things you do can be done with 30% less effort.  Try your best and do things smartly, but don't go postal on it.

2. Just Because It's Old, Doesn't Mean It's Done (Hot tea into cold tea)

It's amazing how many times I've seen people sip on some beautifully steeped hot tea, get lost into conversation, and see that their tea has gone "bad" aka "cold".  This is devastating to witness, as to these folks, old means done.  As you become a teasan, you will learn that if something is keeping you from finishing your jasmine tea while it is hot, plop some ice cubes in it and BOOM....awesome iced tea.  Now this may seem obvious, but you would be surprised at the amount of cold tea poured down the drains of America.  Looking at this in a life perspective, don't take old stuff for granted.  Thrift stores are the bomb and have been used to furnish our entire homes.  Nothing beats the sound of Miles Davis from a vinyl record.  Cherish the old.

3. Don't Rush Into Things (Burning your mouth)

This one was a fun one to learn...not.  One of our favorite teas to steep on for the love is Naivetea Yuzu Oolong, and if you had some you would know why.  Well just the other day we got into steep mode and I was presented with a steamy cup of the oolong tea and proceeded to try and sip with the quickness.  I ended up burning my mouth, spitting the brew all over the computer, burned my hand which was holding the tea, dropping and shattering the teacup, and worst of all, wasted all of that Naivetea lovin.  Needless to say it was a bogus chain of events.  Just don't rush into stuff, no matter how great, or tasty, it is.

4. Good Things Come In Small Packages (Teabags)

To think of how many great times, great friendships, and great memories that have been made from a little teabag is astounding.  Heck, you are sitting right in front of a manifestation from the goodness that is tea.  It doesn't take a 90 bedroom palatial mansion or a stretch Hummer filled Gucci and Prada to make happiness.  Try a cup full of tea from approximately .03 grams of tea leaves and watch the smiles appear, ear to ear.

5. Loosen Up! (Loose tea)

Once loose tea came into the mix, everything changed.  Do you remember the first time you dwelled into the genre that is loose tea?  Did you use one of those metal tea balls or did you just think that you had to pour the leaves into the cup and sip very carefully?  Either way, it released the normal constraints of drinking tea.  Why not release all the imaginary constraints that are placed on you everyday?  Chill out: the best advice anyone can give to you.  Wanna live longer?  Loosen up.  Take the pill that is called chill.  Did you get a little loose tea love in your cup?  Oh well, you will live.  Got into a fender bender?  Don't worry, it's time for a new car anyways.

Learn something from that oolong, green, jasmine, black, or lapsang tea.  Steep on, and smile! 

The TeaAmigos would like to welcome Yogic Chai to the best place to buy tea online, Tea Amigos store.  Their chai tea assortment is off the chain, and you know we only carry the good stuff.  C'mon now; where else are you going to find some Coconut Mate Masala Chai or Lemongrass Masala Chai?  You've got to see these blends to believe em.  Look for Yogic Chai tea reviews on the pages of TeaAmigos coming soon.  But for now, just cop some of this bomb chai and wonder where your socks went.  Oh yea, you blew those off after the first sip.  Steep on. 

Dax and Mike: Yes.  We have opened our store.  On the most tactical day of the year, TeaAmigos Online Tea Store is open.  We're tired of people banging on the door like the police, asking where to buy Organic and Pure tea.  "Hey Gifted, where can we buy Naivetea tea online?  It's 4AM and I gotta have some Naivetea lychee oolong tea before I pass out."  That's really getting old.   TeaAmigos Store is seriously the best place to buy tea online.

We wouldn't peddle anything but the finest tea brands, and we are committed to hooking you up with the goodness.  This is what we drink, and teasans know best.  Fisticuffs have been exhibited on multiple occasions over the last steep of Naivetea Yuzu Oolong.  Don't believe us?  Check the battle wounds.

And get 110% of your money back if you don't like it.

Enough talk, more steepin.  Get your steep on with the best teas that you've seen in our Tea Reviews.

Tea Amigos Store Rating: FIRE!!

We are looking out for your family, and it is imperative that you are familiar with the
signs of camellia sinensis abuse. Camellia sinensis is becoming an epidemic in the 15-21 year-old demographic with an exploding number of users becoming fiends by the second. To protect the well-being of your household and ours, we’ve presented to you 5 telltale signs that your teenager is experimenting with the addictive substance known as camellia sinensis.

1. Strange herbs strewn about the kitchen counter
Camellia sinensis can come in many varietals, ranging in size, shape, and color.
Research has shown that many teens are untidy and leave instances of camellia sinensis
on kitchen counters. Do not be afraid to come in contact with its loose form, as it is not
harmful to the touch. You may see dry, brown leaves (street name: That Woody Wood), long
green leafs (nicknamed: Silver Stank), or furled, greenish balls (codename: Granddaddy
Oo).

2. A foreign apparatus in their possession
Using camellia sinensis in its loose form require a metal or glass strainer (steeparatus
as they say). If you find a glass tube with a strong smelling residue inside, often with a
brownish tint, then you should be alarmed and take action immediately. Dispose of the
apparatus as quickly as possible and talk with your teen about getting help.

3. Frequent bathroom visits
A side effect of camellia sinensis is frequent urination. As their bladders become more
and more active, their urine color will become clear. If your teen is suspected of using
camellia sinensis, administer a urine test and record the color and consistency of the
specimen. Another measure that can be taken is to lock all bathroom doors and wait for
the desperate teen to come running for your assistance.

4. Excessive tea-related slang
One of the fastest ways to catch a camellia-abusing teen is to monitor their dialect. If you
hear words such as “teasan”, “oolongability”, and the profane “hoth”, immediately take
proactive measure. Such language is a sign of a growing user and also that their peers are
partaking in camellia sinensis.

5. Intelligence quotient amplification
Finally, as the abuse grows into their elder years, teens may experience a heightened
intelligence quotient. They may pass tests with never-before-seen scores, respond to
your questions with longer-than-normal lexicon, and even begin tutoring. As these may
not be the most negative aspects of camellia sinensis use, they should not be condoned.

This has be a TeaAmigos PSA, please do not take these signs lightly. Act now and save the
future of America.
