On Friday at Tutto Bene, I got some tea to go with dessert. Let me tell you about this tea.
It is a brand called Mighty Leaf, and the particular blend is Organic Breakfast.
The front proclaims, underneath the blend name, that it contains Artisan Whole Leaf Pouch * Black Tea * Caffeine.
On the back, first we have some generic blend babble/brewing instructions: A robust, wide-awake blend of organic black tea leaves. Our take on the classic English Breakfast is serene contemplation from dawn to dusk. Brew time 4 minutes.
Then there is a little infographic box about the Mighty Leaf brand in general, entitled "Magic of the Mighty Leaf": Since ancient times, a freshly brewed pot filled with whole teas leaves has been revered as the richest in character. Today we proudly continue the tradition. Our handcrafted silken biodegradable pouches are packed with our artisan blends of whole tea leaves, fruits, herbs, spices and flavors too big for ordinary tea bags. Enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be.

I still drink it perfectly happily at restaurants and at church, where it's often the only non-herbal option. It's never going to be my favorite, but it's recognizably tea (albeit rather bitter) and it has caffeine, which are the main points.
