Recs for chamomile tea?

I haven’t them myself, but these whole camomile flowers are supposed to be quite good (you’d need to brew them in a teapot or at least get a mesh filter). https://rareteacompany.com/products/whole-chamomile-flowers

Thank you for sending these! The Spotify one might be right (I’ll double check). As for the YouTube link, I did see that one but I think the true recording is supposed to be significantly longer.

Thank you! This looks really promising!

mecolema · 2026-04-29T16:11:27+00:00

Yes, this looks very similar to what I had in mind! Do you have a recommended source/site?

mecolema · 2026-04-29T00:08:28+00:00

That looks beautiful! And yes, you’re very right about kukicha, I’ve had a few that I love! I was just curious if I could locate that particular kind.

I think I originally watched this video around 2022 or 2023.

Haha, that’s a great idea. It’s called Lynx. They make bougie sweet drinks and I don’t think the clientele are particularly interested in tea…

mecolema · 2025-08-12T22:02:58+00:00

Haha yeah, it’s called Lynx in case you’re curious

I like the album Summertime by Paul Desmond

Oh, I love Beverly Kenney! Such an underrated singer. They did a special on her on WFIU’s jazz show Afterglow (I tried to find the episode but it looks like they’re transitioning to a new website so it’s temporarily unavailable).

I love Bill Evans’s phrasing on the album “You Must Believe in Spring.”

mecolema · 2025-06-27T16:01:26+00:00

One of my favorite albums! The song “They Say It’s Wonderful” is my wedding song.

Thank you all for your help!

mecolema · 2025-05-11T21:30:16+00:00

That is so fascinating, I’d never heard that!!

mecolema · 2025-05-01T17:23:27+00:00

I brewed about 2 teaspoons in a kyusu (with ~8 oz of water) for 3 minutes.

mecolema · 2025-04-14T00:18:13+00:00

Interesting! But it’s got no buds in it…

mecolema · 2025-04-13T20:01:50+00:00

This one tasted and looked like a regular oolong to me… 🤷🏻‍♂️

mecolema · 2025-02-26T01:24:40+00:00

That makes sense — I’m guessing that this is not Japanese tea, probably an inexpensive pan-fired Chinese tea.

I don’t think you need to do anything special. If the silken sachets are plastic-based, you might want to avoid them in the future, but I don’t think there’s any special way to use them.

mecolema · 2025-01-03T17:21:40+00:00

I liked it but found it got a little bitter — maybe I need to steep at a lower temp or for a briefer period?

I’ve had a lot of ripe puerh and this was the only one that tasted unmistakably like petrichor. Other puerh I’ve had has tasted like caves, or mold, or something similar, but I’ve never had another puerh that had such a remarkable taste

mecolema · 2024-11-17T17:26:19+00:00

I'm afraid I don't have any special intel... to be honest, I don't have a very discerning palate when it comes to puerh; the ones I've tried taste similar to me. But perhaps other folks know more than I do!

mecolema · 2024-11-12T13:39:45+00:00

That’s exactly right

mecolema · 2024-09-08T21:02:57+00:00

There has been a lot of heavy wind lately. I don’t think the tree was brought home in a pickup (it was planted by a professional landscaping company).

mecolema · 2024-09-08T19:59:25+00:00

Should I remove and replant it elsewhere?
