Don't Drink Too Much!

"I should have researched this before I drank it, because I drink tea in large amounts everyday...
Drinking more than one cup a night can potentiate alchohol (one cup of wine afterward nearly knocked me out, I had two cups of tea earlier), can give you a splitting headache the next day, and acts as a laxative...
Apparently its effects are cumulative, and can build up when taken in large amounts causing lots of side effects. But other than that it's a very nice tasting tea, I enjoyed it, and it's definitely a great sleep aid.
Don't overdo it!"

"But if mixed with lemon flavored tea and splenda (4 Tbsp per quart), this really helps. As for any other effects, I can't say yet because I drank it about 40 minutes ago. I do feel more relaxed, but it has not stimulated any sexual desires, but will let you know tomorrow."

"A friend of mine loves this tea but she makes quite a lovely brew which incorporates Damiana with Oolong and orange peels. I absolutely love this tea either by itself or in the above blend. By itself, it takes about 8 minutes to brew which is a bit too long for me but when mixed with other teas, can be quite the afternoon (or sensual) evening treat."

"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. "

"This is good by itself or mixed with fruity teas. This picks me up without caffiene, so I can fall asleep easily."
