Today we are trying Felicitea’s Earl Grey Brandice (4 minutes and then 3 minutes in boiling water), a tea that Brandice herself had a hand in!

Will it be able to stand up to Joe’s sarcasm as well as the original Brandice? Yes, actually it does. And it’s so nice, we tried it twice!

This week is features two very green teas; O-Cha.com’s Sencha Yutaka Midori (3 min, rumbling) and Mellow Monk’s Top Leaf (3 min, rumbling), both claimed to be top notch green teas from each company. Do both teas live up to the hype? Was this episode sponsored by KFC? (No.) Should it have been? (Yes.)
