Better than sassafras!

If I did tags on my lj entries, this lj entry would be tagged tea. Those of you who would not read an entry tagged tea, I suggest that you move on to the next entry.

I've been looking for sassafras tea for a long time. Back when I was doing my searching online, I couldn't find any product that would allow me to make herbal tea, just sassafras syrups that produced "tea" when added to hot water. But now, I've found an herbal tea mixture that tastes like it contains sassafras, but the complexity of the flavor creates a tea which tastes even better. It's called "Evening in Missoula" and according to its distributor, Tea Source, contains chamomile, rosehips, raspberry, papaya, peppermint, spearmint, strawberry leaf, vanilla, passion flower, red clover, star anise, and wild cherry bark. Wonderful!

I actually haven't sampled anything else from Tea Source to my knowledge. I tried the tea at Muddy Paws, a cheesecake restaurant in Uptown, and it inspired me to go to my friendly local co-op, the Wedge, to find complex herbal teas. I was nicely surprised to find that the Wedge offered the same variety of tea.

I found the Tea Source website while trying to find a list of the ingredients that went into the tea for my lj entry. Tea Source must distribute to both places.

At this point I try to avoid any sort of caffeinated tea (except when I'm having my period, when it helps). This includes decaffeinated teas, so I'm afraid I won't be much help.

Hmmm, well I'm still thinking of looking into the tea from there, since I'm not a big fan of the tea places nearby me . . .

Thanks!
