Cold 911 from DAVIDsTEA
76

I’m sure like many others, this isn’t something I would choose outside of being sick. But, it is actually relatively tasty (when you can’t taste/smell, especially), and it does provide some measure of relief. It’s strong enough to fight through all the nastiness of a cold to offer you some taste. My sinuses are feeling horribly inflamed and my eyes are watering, so I’m off to make some more! With some fresh ginger and a dash of cayenne. Pulling out all the stops, folks. I have two more papers and three exams to get through before I’m allowed to be sick!

And, I usually strongly dislike juniper. It really bothers me in Detox. But here I either don’t notice the juniper berries or am okay with them.

Feel better soon. I know what I took it when I felt a cold coming it stopped it in it’s tracks. Which is great since I can’t take anything.
And can I just say it is nice to have my laptop back so I can be here on Steepster.

I’m so glad this one is back in stock. I should have stocked up a few weeks ago.

Thanks, Cattibrie! I’ve had good luck fending off colds so far this season but this time my boyfriend was sick and it’s next to impossible not to be infected by someone you live with. I’m feeling whiny about this cold but it’s not nearly as bad as it could be. This stuff is really helping.

The Purrfect Cup: I only got 30 g, for some reason! Thankfully it’s a light tea but I’m thinking I definitely need to stock up tomorrow too.

My husband and son had a cold when I started to get mine. Hubby wouldn’t take the tea and suffered for 3 weeks. I managed to avoid it with this tea.

That’s awesome! Miracle potion.
