Cozy Chamomile from Bigelow
44

Backlogging from this morning. I’ve been feeling completely like garbage. I probably have some of the worst end-of-the-sentence related problems out of anyone I know (although I’m sure people have it far worse). So I was huddled up today, barely able to move after throwing up and being sick and such, so I cuddled up with some easy-to-make chamomile. I’m not even sure what this tasted like, but chamomile is supposed to soothe cramps, and it did.

Peppermint will help sore stomachs too and giner (either in tea form or crystallized) will help with nausea.

I hope you’re better soon and able to give us more wonderful tea reviews. ;)

Eep. This entry gave me phantom pangs. Glad you’re functioning again and that the chamomile worked.

Bio

22-year-old NYC girl just starting out on her tea adventures! I used to hate tea. If you asked me a few years ago what I thought of tea, I’d tell you it tasted like hot, dirty dishwater. Not anymore! I acquired a taste for tea when I started drinking peppermint tea for my upset stomach problems. From there I graduated to teas like chamomile and Lipton. But Lipton wasn’t strong enough!

I’m getting the hang of this loose leaf thing. Black’s my default, but I’ve found that I really love teas that fall into every category. I’m a purist – I always drink my tea neat. I prefer unflavored tea over flavored tea, and really dislike anything flavored with artificial-tasting substances. I’ve grown up a bit in my tea drinking, and I find that novelty appeals to me less and less.

I also am the happy girlfriend of the boy that created the tea randomizer, which can be found here: http://www.jaydeee.net/pickatea.php
