Peaty tea recommendations
-
I like passionflower.
It contains various flavonoids which act of the GABA receptors. It's been studied for its ability to improve sleep and decrease anxiety. It pairs well with chamomile in a tea.
Good things are immeasurably costly

@wamantah Chamomile. It inhibits aromatase and works synergistically with orange juice. It has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects.
It has always helped me with my intestinal problems. I think it lowers my adrenaline (I often use it when I'm stressed)
-
Da Hong Pao oolong and raw puer ("raw" as opposed to "ripe", which is shit) teas are delicious if youre looking to try something eastern, yunnansourcing is where Id buy all my chinese tea when I was into tea
for fancier teas for the "western" palate theres of course darjeeling, vahdam is the well known reliable brand
I hear Fortnum and Mason is quite good for standard english teas, but Ive personally never tried them
I used to drink Ahmad loose tea (all my recs are for loose tea btw, bagged tea is shit) as my cheap daily tea, I really liked their ceylon tea but they have a lot of varieties
I cant emphasise enough how much better loose tea is its not even comparable -
Pau D'Arco is tasty with honey
-
Currently drinking chamomile tea enriched with gelatin, glycine, l-theanine, and honey. Ascending up the tree of life in my dreams tonight for sure.

@wamantah I am very fond of licorice tea. Licorice has some interesting nootropic compounds like isoliquertigenin, a potent GABA agonist and anti-cancer agent (sound familiar to any other peaty compounds?)

Add licorice to your passionflower and chamomile. I think all will taste very nice together. I will try soon and report back.
She Peat on my noosphere till I generate energy.

So I have studied this a lot.
I drink both excellent coffee and excellent tea.
Tea concentrates fluoride. The older the tea leaves used, the more fluoride gets concentrated.
When you pay for good quality tea, you are getting tea made from the tips, the shoots, and they are low in fluoride. If you buy cheap tea in the supermarket, it is very high in fluoride.
I think there are benefits to high quality tea. And I love tea. So I drink both coffee and tea all day long. I love the Japanese Gyukuro green teas, the Oolongs from Taiwan, and the amazing Keemun and Monkey teas from China.
You can also rinse the tea and discard the water, washing the tea, to get rid of stuff on the surface of the leaves.
We use loose teas only, of course, and use a Taiwan glass tea pot where we pour the water in. The top has a strainer on it.
You can also do what they often do in Asia. You can add tea leaves to a glass and add hot water, and avoid eating the tea leaves, and they just steep together and it’s simple. You can reuse and infuse the tea several times.
