Here are some of things that I can recall or taste in it; yerba mate, cayenne pepper, silver needle white tea, sencha green tea, chamomile flowers, rose petals, lavender flowers, yogurt, and a bit of ginger. This must sound quite disgusting, and yet it isn’t. I am so amazed that it isn’t, and that it doesn’t make me best buddies with the loo. I didn’t blend this on my own, well I blended the base which was yarba mate, cayenne, and lavender for a cold. But the rest were blends on their own. And now I have this crazy morning tea that wakes me up after one sip. Imagine how I feel after a whole cup.
Ah, but I need a proper tea maker. I use paper filters and I am no longer happy with it because I can now taste the paper. I hope to get something cool soon when some money starts flying my way. I am considering adding a bit of turmeric to the blend. What do you think? Do you have any cool tea blends of your own?
I've never tried blending my own tea. I usually just buy premade tea bags. I really like tea and I usually drink several cups a day but I haven't gotten into my own blends yet.
Wow, your mixture is quite impressive! I love green tea with jasmine and apple. I've discovered valerian tea recently, it smells beautifully and has a great calming effect.
Eyelah, if you can, you should give it a try. It is a lot of fun. And after a few trial and errors, you often are rewarded with something uniquely tapered to your tastes. I still drink tea bags. Loose tea is something I started doing quite recently.
Your blend sounds quite wonderful. I have had green tea and jasmine flowers, but never with apples. I haven't tried Valerian tea. Thanks for mentioning it. I will be on the lookout. I like beautiful smells and great calming effects.
I must try this!
Do!! And let me know how you like it!
