Men’s Health Article – Try, Try Again

by Jason Walker on May 22, 2014

You have to be on your toes when reading articles about tea. The recent Men’s Health article earns a few tips of the hat and a few finger wags.

Some Things They Got Right

It was good to see companies like Camellia Sinensis, Tea Trekker, and Seven Cups getting the press they deserve.

Also good to see more people can learn about relatively undiscovered teas like Tie Luo Han, Sencha Ashikubo, and Tung Ting.

Some Things Could Have Been Better

Recommending Mighty Leaf Longjing. Though it has been some time since I reviewed a Mighty Leaf green tea, I’d be wary. There are very likely many other dragonwells of better quality available.

My recent encounter with Teavana’s Golden Dragon left me wondering about the authenticity of its yellow tea character.

Finally – I realize its a men’s magazine, but what is it about these teas that is special to having men try? Tea doesn’t care about your sex, and good teas are meant to be enjoyed by men and women alike.
