Jeanne this was very enlightening. I learned a lot! Thank you!!
I drink tea daily in a way that is somewhat similar to you. I have tinnitus or constant noise near my ears. It can be aggravated or made louder by caffeine. Thus, I avoid coffee, most over the counter meds and even too much chocolate. My mornings start with a black and green tea combination made by Tetley that I actually like! I can handle 2 cups of it. Later I have one or 2 cups of any of a variety of herb teas. Like stinging nettle which sooth any achy parts of my bod rather quickly. Like as I am drinking it! Or dandelion root tea with a little bit of sugar that makes a nice change. I also find elderflower soothing.
I will be trying some of the Cold-Harvest Green Tea with sage and natural oil of apricot from your neighbors! Nice easy to use website! 😃
Wow! Not only is your article enlightening so is Sandy’s comment. I too suffer from tinnitus and had no idea caffeine makes it worse. I drink Tazos organic awake English tea every morning. I also eat dark chocolate at lunch. I’m going to experiment with eliminating caffeine or at least cutting back. Thanks to both of you.
I love tea. I drink green tea in the morning and herbal all day. Every day I make a mason jar full of herbal tea with nettle, oat straw and ginger slices. Lots of peppermint and chamomile.
Wow, I did not know about this special spot not to far from me! I am also a big tea drinker. This was such a great post and I can't wait to visit the Table Rock Tea Company. Thanks for telling us about it!
No, Kombucha is a fermented drink, where any variety of tea can be used along with a sweetener and the "scoby" which is what "eats" the sweetener to ferment/make the beverage. Kukicha is unrelated, although I suppose it could be used to brew Kombucha if you wanted.
Thank you for this! I also am a huge tea lover and have a cupboard that looks much like yours. Also, throughout the course of the day, the kind of tea I choose changes, too. Moods definitely figure in! Quite interesting and I learned many new things about tea.
Did they mention Twig Tea at all? It's tea made from the twigs of the Camellia plant and has a delicious earthy taste and very little caffeine. It's called Kukicha in Japan. One of my favorites!
Journalist Jeanne Malmgren returns! Transported me back to the third floor at 490, perhaps a bit like your time-traveling memory of pungent mint. 😊 I’m off to make a cup of strong English breakfast.
Interesting about tea grown in the US, I didn't know that. I like the backstory of the Bear Claw Dark Oolong Tea from Table Rock Tea Company! :)
I like coffee and tea. Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. Lately, my afternoon tea is one I buy from a Korean grocery store called hyunminokcha (현미녹차.) It is a blend of toasted brown rice and green tea (60/40.) I drank a lot of it while living in Korea and it's a nice smooth-flavoured tea. The toasted brown rice grains balance out the green tea leaves nicely.

I have been meaning to go there for years. It is time to go visit! Thanks for reminding me.

Such a fascinating look at tea being grown in South Carolina!
Herbal tea is my favorite beverage 💚

I’m a tea drinker too; and this was a wonderfully enlightening read!
