Health Benefits of Tea

I have a passion for Red Rooibos tea brewed in whole milk (on a rare occasion). I find it great for inducing dreams.
 
I hear Bog Labrador tea is good for lucid dream potentiation too, but I have yet to try it.
 
BIJA makes a cranberry rooibos tea, having a cup right now :) they put some stevia leaf in it too... makes it complete, the taste is so nice. it's fairly expensive so i mostly drink white tea (for all the l-theanine, s'long as we're talking health benefits) but yeh a cup of cranberry rooibos at night with a joint mmm
 
I could never handle the taste of pst. I can barely handle the taste of ppt, but the effects are well worth it.
 
poppy tea is healthy for u.
lots of antioxidants that u can actually feel !
 
I drink various black teas both plain and flavored, green teas, oolong teas, white teas, and herbal teas like rooibos, spearmint/peppermint, licorice, honey bush, some dried up fruit that's not tea but it taste good anyway, yerba mate, and I drink it for the taste and the health benefits.

I prefer loose tea but bagged tea works when I'm lazy. I get loose tea that's cheaper than bagged tea but I don't go for the very expensive loose tea that's very expensive.

I also like to put hot or steamed milk in tea with honey and make chai. When I'm trying to cut back on drinking lots of coffee I start drinking more tea.

Also I find that rooibos relaxes me and makes it easier to sleep and so does chamomile tea, and it went well with herb. I also enjoy drinking iced tea in all types of weather or if it's the morning and I'm in a hurry. I like the herbal blueberry tea too.

Heh I've never had poppy seed/pod tea but I hear it's nice. ;)

What is Bog Labrador tea?

Try taking some B vitamins I think it's either B-3 or B-12 that can make you have more vivid/lucid dreams. Melatonin helps too. :)

I've never tried the dreaming herb Calea Zacatechichi but I hear that also works well.
 
Tea: what's your favorite and what are the health benefits?

I've heard a lot of talk about tea being healthy and such, and I drink tea quite a bit myself (oolong, chamomile, mint, yerba mate, etc)

What do people like drinking and what are their noticed health benefits?

Do you know of something that a specific kind of tea has helped you with?

(By the way, right now I am enjoying yerba mate/mint tea, its a great substitute for coffee)
 
I am currently on a red tea kick. Made from the rooibos plant in Africa.
It's naturally decaffeinated, and has anti-oxidants, and I just like the taste of a steaming cup of it.
 
i get boxes of loose leaf excellence (various kinds in names i can't read) shipped from my inlaws in china every few months. i drink it every day and feel great for it. much better source of caffeine. after a heavy drinking session, a few of these would sober you right up to the point where the next day it is seriously like it never happened. the only times i get hung over these days is when i forget to drink tea before bed. i love it i love it i love it.

drinking it right now at work.
 
On average I drink four cups of tea a day. I alternate flavors each day.

I think my favorite is lemon ginger tea. I like the warm burn it gives me in the back of my throat. That heat, in turn, gives a warming effect among the entire body. This also helps with congestion and sinuses.

Ginger is also known to alleviate nausea and help with digestion. Lemon adds a bit of zing to the flavor.

A great choice for the morning or a cold day.
 
can't really say i have a favorite, i just keep to a regimen. in the morning i'll brew white tea and ginseng in the same cup for l-theanine and stimulus, it's quite a potent psychoactive combo as far as innocuous teas go. after lunch i'll have calendula or pau d'arco, notable for their anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects (good cleansing agents,) and at night i'll have vanilla rooibos or chamomille as a chill pill. i never buy the substandard trash they sell at supermarkets, i'd rather have water than brew that garbage.
