When I lived in Japan a long time ago I bought Prince of Peace tea. I bought it here in the US recently and I don’t care for it much. I don’t know if it’s different in Japan or my tastes changed.

  • What “untraditional” tea do you like?

  • Is there a brand of ginseng tea you like?

    Non traditional being relative of course…

    I really like some citron tea once in a while. It’s kind of like a marmalade that you mix with water. But it’s made of a fruit called citron that has a distinctive and delicious taste different than oranges, lemons or limes. Can be hot or cold.

    It also goes well with liquor if you are so inclined.

    No specific brand; I just buy whatever I can can find. Never met a jar I didn’t like.

    Also, an old hippie taught me to make a nettle drink where you put nettle plant (fresh or dried leaves/plant, but not tea bags) in a jar of boiling water then leave it over night to soak. I drink it cold or room temp. Has a delightful earthy taste.

      That sounds really intriguing.

      With distinct eucalyptus leaf and ginger root, along with peppermint leaf work in harmony to deliver a refreshing and uplifting tea.

      I’m going to get groceries delivered today or tomorrow but my local supermarket isn’t hip enough to have that. Maybe I’ll splurge and get it online.
