its typical for caffeine to temporally increase blood pressure you are supposed to wait at least an hour before after having caffeine before getting a baseline blood pressure reading.

>Means literally nothing to most people.
"Most people" aren't really the customer demographic that buys premium teas and i doubt any amount of marketing will change that. W2T does not target "Most people" either they target hipsters (and tea enthusists).

>Feels bad that people like me who just want a year, descriptor of type, and region of growing
i do think the basic information should be included but i don't mind having a tasteful marketing name that helps describe the tea and makes it easier to talk about. otherwise there would be a lot of teas called "2021 menghai ripe" and it would be a pain to figure out what anyone was talking about especially if a vendor has multiple productions from the same region and year. also naming just after the year and location is not going to work well for blended recipes.
