***** What they said 03/03/2007 22:19
"It's just like the reviews said. In my opinion, it's as good as caffeine without the jitters and with a little more of a sense of happiness. But the first time I had it, I think I felt a little too lusty! I drink it in two blends; one with hibiscus and rose hips, the other with orange peels. "
