I have to admit this is the first time hearing of it for me. I have
read the description on the site and looked at the two blurry photo's
but it's still a bit of a mystery to me. I have to say that I have
some reservations about the tea from the description and price, but it
is possible I guess. Any tea that would be pretty rare and require a 4-
hour journey to pick would probably fetch more than $13 for 4oz., but
who knows. Red flags spring up when I get tales of virgins picking and
roasting my tea during full moons or monkeys dressed in tailored suits
hand rolling leaves while playing pinochle. It looks interesting, I
may have to order some though to try it out.
As for the sore throat, some of my favorite tea remedies a
1. Slice a few quarter sized slices of fresh ginger and boil the heck
out of it in some water and drink it down
2. A black tea of any sort and a large amount (2-4 tablespoons) of
honey in 4-6oz. of water
3. If you can find it, Ricola makes a tea version of it's lozenges
which does wonders
4. Not tea, but eat a few spoonfuls of raw honey (you can find it from
local bee keepers or health food/organic stores)
5. Theraflu. It's like tea but packed with 4x the doses of a number of
medicines that won't help but ease the suffering and knock you out.
6. Nyquil (the real stuff that is now behind the pharmacist's counter,
NOT the shelf), not even remotely tea but you won't care.
Good luck, and if you get a chance I'd like to hear about the Yin Tu/
Yun Ju Green tea as it brews up by itself,
