Dongsuh Korean Brown Rice Green Tea, Traditional Korean Tea Blend, 100 1.5g Tea Bags

I have been trying to temper or at least notice my caffeine intake. I have moderate insomnia and crave a pot of coffee to rev me up upon waking to help me “eat the frog” of my day. I’m a busy attorney by trade. Litigation and project development. Busy stuff needing real focus. Often coffee leaves me jittery, though, and sometimes a bit anxious or on-edge, rather than focused. I did research and learned that all tea has a compound or chemical called L-Theanine that is naturally occurring and helps the mind calm and focus. But not all teas are created equally, and green tea has a stronger L-Theanine to Caffeine ratio, and there was actually a university laboratory study showing THIS particular strain of green tea from Korea to have the greatest level of L-Theanine to Caffeine ratio. I found the study online! I love brown rice tea also, I find it earthy and grounding and delicious as I know from eating in Japanese restaurants and later finding a box of brown rice green tea in Costco. Years ago! So I was very happy to find this special strain of green tea on amazon and remembering that I adored the flavor of brown rice tea, I thought the universe must be supporting me in this ... ;) and I ordered it. I’m really happy that I did. It is a nice addition to my tea collection and I’ve vowed to learn to drink it in place of coffee, or at least increase my habit of drinking this delicious tea for my mental health/focus. I may need several bags or cups to get the caffeine I desire, but I know I’ll also be getting the compound that will help me focus also, so that I can “eat that frog” and not be too, too on edge. I’m also hopeful that the minor caffeine reduction that comes from replacing some of my coffee with this tea may actually help me overcome my moderate insomnia, and I also signed up for an online insomnia support program through my health insurance to help with this. So overall I am sharing to say that I think this tea is a wonderful tool, a healthy tool, for those of us who are aiming to maximize our energy, focus, productivity and yes overall health. And I wanted to point out that I learned that this particular strain has more L-Theanine in it which is a chemical known to help with focus. For example, I learned that it helps with ADHD. It helps the brain naturally focus. I don’t have ADHD, but many people do, many successful people do, and if you do, maybe you’ll especially benefit from this strain of Korean green tea! Or if you are more sensitive and want to focus instead of being jittery.

Probably the best brown rice green tea I’ve had.

It tastes great, like the green tea from Kura sushi. I love it.

I'm enjoying this tea, and the 100-bag package is an excellent value.

It has a very nice nutty taste. It's not particularly strong, so I use 2 bags in my 14 oz cup. I like this tea very much!

Delicious!! Economical. Lovely.

I love this tea it has a unique toasty flavor. It's one of my favorites. It has enough caffeine in it to give me a good clean energy as well. I translated the text on the box and it says to steep for 3-4 minutes. I typically steep for about 5 minutes because I like mine a little stronger. (It doesn't get bitter like black tea)When I was a kid my mother used to take us to this amazing Chinese restaurant. She met the owners and they became friends. They would let us stay till after closing while they chopped vegetables up for the next day. One day my mom asked the owner what was the delicious tea they served. The owner told her it was brown rice green tea. Now, about two decades later I can enjoy this tea again! I highly recommend it and for the price this box will last you a long time!

This tea was so smooth and had a beautifully toasty and soothing side with the brown rice next to the green tea, which was very smooth also, no bitterness..I found this to be a delicious tea hot or cold!!
