Not to quibble, but isn't nestea and brisk tea? I mean, it's not quality tea, but it's tea.

Floor Sweepings are not tea. scream

In other news, I do enjoy my nettles. Stewed, fried, in soup or simply infused with a bit of honey and a touch of milk.

This is one of many reasons I contend myself with my Cocoa and herbal drinks.
No muss, no fuss, and none of the debate that swirls around Tea, Cider, and Wine. ninja

I'm quickly running out of my stomach calming tsaine blend. >.<

Which is really bad since its the only thing that consistently helps to reduce the pain from my stomach and intestinal problems. I'm not sure if I actually have the IBS diagnosis yet.

What blend are you using? Hubby has been in pain for about a month. We went to the ER this morning and they did a CT, but didn't see anything. Meanwhile he says it feels like he is trying to digest a ball of splinters. We go to see his GI tomorrow, but at this point he'd be willing to try anything that works...especially if it doesn't involve perscription drugs.

I got the blend originally at Teaopia, in Ontario. It has melissa, tulsi, apple pieces, peppermint leaves, liquorice root, camomile, fennel, caraway, rosemary and marigold petals in it.

I don't know which ingredients are responsible for the calming of my horribly broken insides, but I'm willing to bet the peppermint leaves and camomile are important as those tsaines tend to help my stomach a bit too.

Chrysanthemum, Rose, Mint , and Honey comprise the best remedy for me. 3nodding

I will gladly take snow in trade for the third freaking ice storm we are supposed to get tomorrow night/friday.

Driving to work at 5:15, when you can't see anything sucks, espcially when you are sick.

We had ice storms on top of the snow and got iced in with my brother's new girlfriend, a rude chainsmoker who hates cats. And we have four very cuddly, very affectionate cats. gonk

I picked up my last set of it when I was in St. Catherines, Ontario during the latter period of my dating Tay.

I believe it was a few months before s**t hit the fan in that relationship, so maybe about a year ago? Why do you ask?

I should look into that blend. I'd really prefer not to get on anxiety meds for my possible IBS.

I shop at Teavana. I keep a few bagged tea's around for taking to work and for scenting baths (mostly given as gifts), but Teavana is love.

I'm not nearly an expert like Tea is, but I have one of those small bookcases? yeah, filled to the brim with air-tight containers of loose leaf tea and tsaines.

I need to clean it off, though, it's not nearly as pretty as it could be.

(I am sad though, the tea store near my parents place appears to have gone out of business. Which is really sad, I got a delicious turkish apple from there that I'm just about out of.

Also, I called out sick today from work. I'm not actually sure if I have sick days yet, so this is a bit amusing. If not, then hopefully my paid flex time will go for covering part of it.
