remind me again why I drink this?

[longers]

Fennel tea is very nice in my opinion.
It's tastes very refreshing when you've got a hangover. I stick one in my thermal cup for when walking the dog.

Tea an Coffee is widely available in work and I am sick of the stuff; Breaktime, dinner time, afternoon BT, just sick of the stuff...

Water or such like is far better !

Rooibos/redbush I think is great, it is the only drug or anything else I've found that aides sleep. Unlike most other teas it blends very well with normal tea.

 

[BentMikey]

Redbush tea is a good alternative - there's no caffeine or tannin in it, but it's strangely addictive.

I hate the way that's been Anglicised!! Rooibos it is. I'm not picking on you of course Kirstie.

 

[red_tom]

Licourice Yogi tea is the only way to go.

as the taste of Aniseed makes me just want to throw up I doubt thats a great alternative

Ah good old marketing. I know it's called really called rooibos but those not too familiar with Afrikaans, or Xhosa or Zulu or whatever language it is from wouldn't I guess...

 

[Carwash]

Rooibos is awful stuff.

Now red tea (with lemon), that's some good shoot.

 

[trustysteed]

Kirstie, your a minger, that stuffs 10 times worse

i agree! (not the minging part, Kirstie ) but it's rubbish not rooibos!

 

[marinyork]

Rooibos has been described to me before as tasting like garden twine or stewed weetabix but you can get used to it and it is so versatile as to what you can have with it.

At what point does a "tea" cease to be tea, and become an "infusion". I would vouchsafe that many of the drinks mentioned herein do, in fact, fall into the latter category...

But can you dunk your biscuit in it?

Tetley or PG for me.
