I’m having this one this morning, not because I wanted to (I’d rather have had some Tan Yang) or because I’m particularly fond of it (actually I took the rating down a little), but out of some feeble hope for relief.
I woke up with my throat feeling terribly sore and I’ve eaten a strepsils which helped some but not totally. I don’t know if it really is something or if I’ve just been snoring a lot while sleeping, but either way, it still hurts. So I picked this tea not because of the flavour but because it often feels kind of viscous to drink and I figured it might be easier to swallow than other teas. If my throat hurts, I find it easier to drink viscous things like for example milk.
I gave it a pretty short steep because that’s what the timer was set at from last night and I couldn’t be arsed to change it when it was much easier to just press start, and it hasn’t actually developed much of that viscosity at all.
I might as well have made a Tan Yang after all. Can’t win them all, I guess.
Awww, poor Angrboda. I hope you feel better, too!
