Regular tea or coffee after 3PM gives me insomnia for the next night. That is why I am very big on herbal teas and infusions.In Russia, herbal teas are a part of daily life. Mint, linden blossoms, rose hip, nettles, St. John's wort and willowherb are both commonly self-administered for medicinal purposes and enjoyed just for their flavour.
I get excited every time I discover a new type of caffeine-free beverage. This time I stumbled upon Jamaican cerassie or corilla at Brixton Market. The tea comes out rather bitter but it is purported to cleanse blood and purge pimples. But for those alleged properties I don't see why anyone would drink this willingly.

This must be very good tea to try. Herbal tea is always good for your health.
ReplyDeleteSUPER bitter though. I only drink it because it's healthy.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delicious, drinking my first cup now
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Ralph? I can only force myself to drink it because it allegedly increases your life span. A remedy from death of sorts.
ReplyDeleteA nasty bitterness... It will kill me before ... helpful...
