Yeah! You did everything right.... except when you put all of the good green in there. Use stems instead and you'll get an adrenaline rush kind of high. At least, when I make the stuff and drink it, that's how I feel. It could be a placebo effect... then again, I'm not the type to think silly ideas are going to work, either. All in all, the high you get off of tea really isn't worth the effort of making it, but it is a pleasant tasting tea.
