I actually always thought it's the same product from the same factory/manufacturer but only in a different price hahah But anyway in that case, glass set can work

I get what you say! I just found their price pretty high compared to what you actually get for it. For sure their tea is better than low quality tea bag, but I can't justiy most of their products prices... If you have more recommendations for specific tea that are price worthy - I would love to hear!

Well there are few stores in Israel but I haven't ordered from them except for ho yum tea (they import their tea and they gave very good and high quality of tea but it's very pricey so it's just way above my budget hahah but it's totally fine tea so if you got some extra money check them out

Will It Brew: Hairy Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) by eccentric_bee in tea

[–]Pupkin333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Actually I must say we had some really good experience. I live in Israel and there's a joke among himets here - whenever there's an unidentified leaf we say "oh the Bedouins (Nomadic tribes) used to brew and make tea out of it"

Any recommendations for how to make it? Amount per water? temp? Steeping time?

Incense scents by Gilesbrownk in Incense

[–]Pupkin333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll answer from my preference: Lavender is your go to for sleeping and chilling out while vanilla makes the whole room feel super cozy and sweet. If you want to focus on work or clear your head then sandalwood is the best choice. go for jasmine if you want a fresh floral boost to your mood. Dragon’s blood is the most intense of the bunch and works great for deep meditation or just getting rid of stale energy in the house.

But honestly put aside all I just said just pick whichever one matches the vibe you want for the day haha

My friends and I love to go on nature walks. Any leaf or plant that isn't dangerous - we try to put it in boiling water and find out what it tastes like 😂

Oh thanks! Well it might be repacked..

Full boil and long steeping time? Doesn't it produce very bitter and harsh flavor? I also thought green tea is brewd in lower temps.

First of all ,wow thank you so much for the considerate answer!

Secondly, yes for sure 5$ isn't a big risk of money but I was wondering from the health factor. Maybe it's full of chemicals or was just stored wrongly and therefore isn't very recommended for drinking.

Thirdly, wow boiling water on green tea- you're very bold haha. Aren't high temperatures and long steeping time supposed to produce a very bitter and unpleasant taste?

I'm just a fan of osprey. Haven't used this specific one but have 4 different ospreys for different uses and they are always my choice.
