In the evening, I sit at the dinner table with a steaming teapot in front of me. The pot contains Gen Mai Cha, a green tea made in Japan with roasted rice. My partner and I consume about three kilograms of this tea annually. The sweetness of the roasted rice and its lower caffeine content have kept this caffeine-addicted store manager's sleep and tea consumption in balance for several years now. But. I didn't feel like having tea at all!
Does that feeling sound familiar? As a tea enthusiast, I've had my fill of countless types of tea. Gen Mai Cha is just the latest victim on the path of a stubborn tea drinker. All sorts of rooibos and many more unknown herbs have suffered the same fate. In this situation, the same question always comes to mind: What should I drink now?
I haven't chosen my next evening tea yet, so I thought I'd shed some light on my selection process. Evening tea can contain caffeine, but not too much, and its overall effect shouldn't be invigorating. Many teas have a calming effect despite the caffeine, but the effect is always individual. Through trial and error, I always end up finding something.
For me, the charm of tea drinking lies precisely in this. No favorite lasts forever, and it doesn't have to. When one tea loses its magic, another is already waiting around the corner. At the moment, I don't yet know what it is, but searching for the next evening tea is at least as enjoyable as finding it. One thing is certain, however: something will soon end up in the teapot, and a new favorite season will begin again.
