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.

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.

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.
