Ginkgo biloba

The dried leaves steep into a smooth, slightly earthy tea that I look forward to mid-afternoon when my focus starts to dip. After a few weeks of daily cups, my head feels less foggy during long work sessions. Good quality leaf, no bitterness even when I forget and let it steep too long.

I've been drinking a cup of this every morning for about three weeks now, and the mental fog I usually fight through mid-afternoon just isn't there like it used to be. The tea itself is earthy and slightly bitter, so I add a little honey, but that's a small trade-off for feeling this clear-headed.

The leaves came whole and dry, not crushed to dust like the last bag I ordered. Two cups in the afternoon and I actually finish my crossword without losing my place every other clue.
