Greetings TeaFriends, you will pardon me if I keep this short as I am a bit under the weather.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. SickDay TeaDay, when is the last time you were sick of a tea? Please share details. Bonus, when is the last time you were sick and do you get sick less since drinking tea?
I will be looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up.

Re: SickDay TeaDay 11/23/10
I'm sick of Lipton's
Actually, I od'd on Molihua (Jasmine) Tea. I got some really good tea once and drank it too many times in a row and years later, I still can't drink it.

I can't say that I've ever been sick of a tea; the kind of sick where you are disgusted by something, you know. I have been drinking tons of miyabi lately, and I'm ready to move on to something else, but I'm not exactly "sick" of it. I guess that's semantics.
This year I have not been sick so far. Both my wife and son have been sick once already. But who is drinking all the green tea! Maybe I should start sharing some...
Today I'm back to one of our standby black teas: Paris. Finishing up some work, then to grandmother's house we go.

Yeah, I was sick / hangover after drinking too much pu on a puerh marathon day. Felt dizzy. Fingers reflex became slower. Had to drink coke to feel better.
2nd time sick was 80s ripe pu which tasted like cockroach. Tasted the same pu twice. The 2nd time was accidentally by request. Stomach was pretty upset.

Im not sure If this counts but about 2 weeks ago I had a bad stomach virus and didn't really feel like eating or drinking anything. Other than being sick I never get sick of tea.

I can't think of any time I've been sick of tea, matcha nausea notwithstanding.
Drinking Adagio's Dragonwell today.

I have never been sick of tea. Certain types I have decided I no longer favor. Not sure if tea is keeping me healthy, but it sure isn't hurting. Perhaps maybe I have had less colds.

My health doesn't seem to depend on tea; however, the times my doc has told me to stay off of "real" Tea, I have been a non-compliant patient! I'll do without tea for one or two days while in the hospital, but then I tell my doc that my husband will be supplying me with "leaf."

I've yet to be sick of tea, but yesterday I was sick for the first time in a long time and tea definitely helped me feel better.

Re: SickDay TeaDay 11/23/10
I haven't gotten sick of any tea!
The last time I got sick was because my boyfriend and I made out even though he was sick....
I mean we've made out while he was sick before but I only had the beginning of a cold but it went away quickly since I've been drinking tea on a daily basis.

Re: SickDay TeaDay 11/23/10
I have pretty much dropped jasmines from my tea lineup, mainly because I've found other teas (oolongs, greens, whites) that have pleasant floral notes without the brassiness of the often rather cheap greens from which the jasmines are made. I didn't get 'sick of' them, so much as find something I like better.
And I enjoy tea whether I'm feeling well or sick, but haven't noticed any change in my sick days in the last year or two as I've been drinking more tea.
And today has been a nice green tea day so far--started with one of the OTTI #7 senchas, the Adagio premier, and then on to some Jin Xuan taiwanese green tea from Norbu. After all that mellow sweetness, I'll be taking a turn in some other direction shortly--something yancha or a bit aggressive in a young sheng.

Re: SickDay TeaDay 11/23/10
I tried a bitter gourd tisane and was sick of it after the first mouthful, about a week ago. Ugh. It just tasted...awful. Awfully awful.
Genmaicha with dinner tonight, currently drinking a ginger tisane.
