It was and apparently there this special way to make it/drink it and I cant remember because I was very stoned, but if I saw the picture I would remember. It was like this big ceramic? teapot and you drink from a metal? straw. I cant remember. I just know there was some special procedure about the whole thing.
yea, I've had that exact thing once. also at some Argentinian's apartment. it's like yerba steeped in water. I think the metal straw is to stop you from swallowing the yerba.
i love tea! lots of kinds... of course, mushroom tea is my favorite but i also like some herbal teas once in a while.... but green teas are my favorite. i like matcha the best, i also like genmaicha and bancha, and i like gunpowder tea, and i also like some oolong teas once in a while, i like a few black teas (especially earl grey or chai) tea is just good all around:cheers2:
mmm, its so good! the leaves get rolled up into little pellets during processing, and its called gunpowder tea because of its looks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_tea
yeah i've never had mate that traditional way. But the stuff I get from the tea lady at the flea market is pretty good. She also has this chocolate mate blend and a vanilla and hazelnut blend too. All very good. And yeah, it makes you feel wonderful.
I drink much too much tea ( normall red tea) I dont think too much good for concentration , so try and cut down when working.Its slightly addictive , I think. Chinese herbal teas are very good ( healthy) , but often taste of cat piss.
I am a tea afficionado! I drink red, white, green, black, fruit, and yerba mate gonna drink some red now (oolong)
I want proper tea. I had some for the first time in about 2 years last saturday. It was a bit watery but god I love tea too much to care.
