With a taste of a poison paradise

[venta]

Today, I am drinking Organic Qi Detox Green Tea. Not because I feel that my qi (or indeed any other part of me) is particularly toxic, but because the list of ingredients made it sound like it might be nice.

The box says it has "the fresh taste of orange and lemon". Actually, what sold it to me was the peppermint, ginger and fennel in the ingredients list.

Having finished my first mugful, I can confirm that the actual flavour of the tea is "the inside of a health food shop".

There is a good one by Clipper called Sleep Easy, which has valerian, camomile blah blah, and tastes quite nice (nicer than camomile on its own anyway) and amazingly has no hibiscus whatsoever. Not much good for waking you up though.

I have also found that avoiding anything with Twinings written on it is a good bet for not ending up with nasty acidy herbal tea.
