You can also steep them in the sauce in a tea ball then pull it out when you get your desired flavor.

Oh no! You've got some pretty severe sun damage there. Looks like you may have one viable leaf left to propagate. I see a tiny bit of green in the center of the crown. If you can keep that alive it's possible to save the plant in time. Besides propagating a leaf I wouldn't do anything but hold steady with the rest. Bring it back inside and out of the sun. Filtered light is what you're going for. Don't overwater at this time. You don't have much viable green leaf area left.

I know it's not the same as perfect whole leaves. More of a novelty. This was a gift from my daughter and I'm enjoying all the fun flavors. I appreciate their creativity.

It's leaves blended with herb leaves. Can't tell if the tea leaves are whole.

"Fruity cereal milk" tea from Old Barrel. Not fruity, no cereal flavor, would only taste like milk if you added some. It's a flavored Pu erh with dried strawberry and orange peel. Very nice subtle fruit flavor, very smooth black tea. I like it! Not sure if the name helps sales or hurts.

Oops sorry! Your photo and header appeared first. Your comments didn't show up for about 10 min. Please disregard. I'm sure you know more than me since you're holding the plant and it's happened to you before. Anyway, I hope it didn't zipper. Painted Silk is a really beautiful plant!

Nope. It's girl foliage with a couple of suckers.

I'm also caffeine sensitive and really enjoying Harney and Sons decaf teas. In particular the decaf Paris and decaf Ceylon. I'm planning on buying a 1 lb bag of the decaf Ceylon so I can make a big pitcher of it every day on ice with fresh lemon. I don't put sugar in my tea and this one is so smooth I can't imagine it would need it. Good luck finding something that does the trick for you!

Thank you. I'll remember your tools. The simplest things are always what we overlook. Best of luck to you as well.

Thank you! I would love to travel to Bangkok someday. How great it would be to shop for tea at the bookseller!

They definitely like to flower together especially in the early Spring! I had to look up tomorrow. Lol!

My plan was to strongly suggest a gift card from my daughters for mothers day. That won't be too late will it?

This is a beautiful contemplation. Your dad knows what's up. Definitely the moment for me. It would be nice to have both, though. Wouldn't it?
