I have a Den's sencha fuka-midori for my first tea this morning and what I am currently enjoying. I have enough leaf left to brew one more cup (with the addition steeps) before it is gone. Hopefully my Den's order will arrive tomorrow like it said it should.
Tea is my cure all. It may not have any specific healing properties, but it makes me feel better enough that the day can go on even when I am sick. Peppermint helps clear out my sinus congestion and lessen some headaches. Rooibos or Chamomile relax me enough to let me sleep. This winter, with constant tea drinking, I haven't gotten too sick yet. For me, that is incredibly impressive.
I'm drinking some grapefruit oolong again before I head to the library to cram for an exam tonight!
As someone else said, tea certainly has many health-promoting properties and over time it helps our immune system and other aspects of our health. I'm not sure about instantly curing any illness but simply enjoying a warm cup of tea might some sort of effect on our disposition and could alleviate a sore throat.

Ok, this white mangosteen isn't as weak as I thought. There's a lot fo Valentine candy around the office today and it goes pretty well with it. I think I'll serve it to my Tea-at-Three-on-Thursdays ladies this afternoon an see what they think.

I think it might be a sencha-head thing. I've heard the same thing from a few people who are concerned mostly with other teas. But the people who drink 90%+ sencha, they seem to love it. I actually place it above regular-steamed sencha on my preference list.Pentox wrote:Lol what's up with the guri craze? I've been relatively unimpressed with what guri i've had.
This cup I'm drinking now is butter, creamy and smooth, with a sweetness that fills my mouth and lasts as an aftertaste. There is also a dimension I describe now as being a pleasant vegetal-tartness, zest, or tang.
In short: MmmmmMMMmmMMMmmmm...
I'm drinking secret gunpowder green tea today.
On a side note, I went to Starbucks with a friend last night, and it was about 3 weeks since the last time I went there. I tried the iced green tea coffee they have, and it was so outrageously super sweet I wanted to throw it away. I didn't though, because my friend bought it for me.
