QUOTE(hellotampon @ Feb 8 2008, 09:57 PM)  So chamomile tea is good for your skin when taken internally, or applied topically? Because my skin has been completely shitty lately. Maybe I should get some chamomile. I have the same question as hellotampon.. Lovemp, what was the scary part about the wiki entry? I've heard of stevia, but never tried it in tea. -------------------- you cannot erase the reality of me

has anyone ever added stevia to their tea? the lady at the local tea shop i go to grows it in her garden. she dries it then grinds it up and she gave me a small bag and told me to put a small amount in my tea. it's a natural sweatener. i really like it. then i went online to look it up and read about it and it's kinda scary what wikipedia says. does anyone else have any knowledge they can pass on? apparently it's popular in china according to the web (not very reliable source I know). just curious.

QUOTE(dextra @ Feb 7 2008, 06:01 PM) hmmm peppermint. And sleepytime. Once I was having a pretty anxious time in my life and I bought some kava-kava tea...

Then I read about kava-kava and liver disease and went in for chamomile, which is actually pretty tasty, and does wonders for your skin.

I adore the pastis tea from my local tea shop, and they also sell a very lovely chocolate & orange tea with pink and blue sugar stars in it and call it Starry Night. Oh, and their Rum tea! To die for. |

My favorite tea lately is green tea, echinacea, jasmine, and elderberry. The first 3 are bagged teas and I put the berries in a tea ball. Sometimes I throw some orange peels in there too. I make it in a big pot and just drink it all day with lemon juice and sugar.
I'm always hoping someone is going to buy me some fancy flower teas. There was some site linked in the ads on feministing that sold those teas and now I can't remember what it was. |

I always wanted to try dragon pearl tea, but it's so expensive! I will eventually... *sigh* -------------------- |

I'm into chocolate tea and Refresh, BunnyB, but I think my all-time favorite is Moroccan mint by Stash Teas (from Trader Joe's). What a delicious house drink.

I love English tea....plain and simple. Coffee, I like to try lots of different kinds, but coming from a Scottish upbringing and having tea all the time, a plain cup of breakfast tea is just fine!!

I think catnip is from the mint family, hellotampon. I love peppermint tea and by far the nicest I've found is the Tazo Refresh tea (Starbucks sell it here and I buy the boxes whenever I have money to play with).
I bought some Yogi Chocolate Chai and it's yummy. -------------------- "Hey, did anyone ever think Sylvia Plath wasn't crazy, maybe she was just cold? " (Lorelai Gilmore) |

I got some cheapie peppermint tea and one night my boyfriend left the cover off one of the things we keep all our tea in, and the next morning several of the peppermint tea bags were ripped up and strewn around the kitchen!
There are no ingredients. It just says "herb tea" in spanish on the side of the box, so I wonder if there's some catnip in it. Catnip is in the mint family, isn't it? Is it cheaper than peppermint? |

as weird as it sounds, plain black tea has always had
a very calming effect on me. even tho it has a lot of caffeine. whenever i'm in a glum mood, it gives me a super boost. comforting. then i read in this magazine that it actually has something in it, i don't remember what, that calms you down. and all that time i just thought i was crazy. anyway, i lub me some green grapeberry tea. |

I finally went tea shopping! I got some Egyptian chamomile, rooibos almond and vanilla. And one of my friends gave me a bit of the tea he bought, it was called Paris blend but I'm not sure what the brand was. I also got a little diffuser ball thing. I can't wait to have some tea!
