Welcome to the tea community. As the leading British Lemmy instance it is a disgrace that none of you stated this sooner.
So here we are for all tea needs - tea news, tea memes, tea recommendations and on and on.
Now for the difficult bit: I don't drink much tea. Not a slight on the nation's favourite brew, I just don't drink hot drinks beyond the occasional lukewarm chocolate. So if there's a safe pair of hands out there who loves a brew then let me know.
Camellia sinensis only! Tisanes are for the weak of heart.
If you believe that is true, perhaps you would enjoy a tisane of Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis)? It's extremely bitter, as it's a good source of berberine. Let me know what you think. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/huanglian https://www.americandragon.com/Individualherbsupdate/HuangLian.html
