Tea from Thailand - Tuesday 12/11/2007


A friend from 43Things sent me some tea from Thailand! I sent her flavored black teas and some mulling spices. The ones she sent are all herbal and very interesting.

This one's safflower tea. Interesting, huh? Kind of like a chamomile, but a nicer color, I think.

I thought it was a good idea to check out what exactly might happen to me when I sampled this. Here's what I found out online at Herb Palace:

  • antiseptic
  • abortifacient
  • expectorant
  • induces sweating
  • inhibits tumors
  • purgative
  • pneumonic (helpful to the lungs)
  • stimulates menstruation
Hmm, I won't be drinking the whole cup.
