hello, all,
I'll be travelling to Santa Fe and Taos later this month and wondered if there are any tea sources/shops etc. that are worth visiting while I'm there. Any input is gratefully anticipated! Shen |

Shen Find a place which offers greenthread, it's a plant which makes great herbal tea. I had it in a small coffee/tea place near shiprock in northwest NM, don't recall the name though. |

I'm formerly a Taosena and I'm familiar with "greenthread". It's often called "Navajo tea" and used by the pueblo peoples, as well. It typically used for heartburn, acid-y stomach and hypertension. I'm just on the lookout for cool tea shops. Shen |

Shen Ah, many apologies than, I wasn't aware of your background, just thought I would make mention of it, as I found the resulting brew was quite pleasant despite its not being a 'tea' in the strictest sense, and we do occassionally have some tea/tisane overlap in here. I suppose you have already checked teamap.com as well? Again, no offense is intended, just hoping it may be of some help if it has not been so already. |

I am grateful for your response. But, in my searches I have found nothing except a couple of lacey ladylike tea rooms. Fun as it may be, I just can't stomach flavoured teas. Shen |
