Someone put me onto Redbush Tea.

I can't understand it. What is it supposed to taste of?  I don't seem to taste much of anything.  Are there good enhancers (like honey or whatever)?  How long to steep?  With milk?

I feel I am even a failure at tea tight now. In England, it doesn't get much sadder than that.

I always get a little tart flavor out of it, and it's got it's own weird flavor that I happen to like. A bit of sugar always worked for me, but add some lemon?

I rarely get beyond Indian or Green Ceylon or Darjeeling.

Cures pretty much anything according to that. Sell your pharmaceutical stocks.

chamomile tea
I fear I repeat myself
and again
and again (actually it is still too hot to drink)
just finished it
and again

iterum atque iterum (no rum involved)
Tea still too hot
again still too hot to drink
Maybe in ten minutes I will be able to drink that chamomile tea
Looks like this has turned into some form of a habit (not the monk robes)
had a lot of tea today but at the moment it is Bitter Lemon that lost most of its CO2
tea again too hot to drink yet (and the Bitter lemon of the former post was about the carbonated beverage, not a tea additive)

Actually I drank the tea before coming here today, so this would have to be either "after the tea" or "return of the tea"

Opsa

Finally found some 'Salada Green Tea with Red Antioxidents' which has Rooibos in it. It has natural orange and strawberry flavors. I taste a lot of strawberry in it, and it's pretty nice.

I like straight Rooibos best, though. It's one of those teas that you can steep a long time without spoiling the flavor. It's a good apple-and-buttered-bread flavor. A bit on the subtle side, but very pleasant. It's sweet enough by itself. I never sweeten it, but I like it with milk. That turns it into comfort food.

Rooibos is a South African shrubbery (nih! nih!) which is supposed to be a cure-all. It seems to work well in cutting short the duration of a cold.

Really? It reminds me of playdough. Not a big fan of rooibos.

I am imbibing some olde fashioned Teatley tea , my new favorite ( started with Red Rose then Salada ) packaged tea with filler material .

My most favorite teas are Japanese Green ( with toasted rice , grains removed ) and good old fashioned Chinese black tea ( common to all Chinese eating joints ) which are  ruined by milk or sweeteners .

Pachyderm

Mango juice.


On the tea front, I like rooibos, but the current favourite is Lady Grey.

I wish didn't have that cup of tea , although it was diluted I'm still awake after tossing around in my bunk for the past three hours *sigh* .
