Default Newest side effects of puer

Ive previously mentioned some honeysuckle taste notes, basically more
suckle than honey. Ill add since then more honey if brewed with
enough to fill a hummingbird feeder and drank warm. That was from a
Western herbalist store which is one of the biggest in the country. I
assume that was one of the three kinds of native honeysuckle. Asia
has hundreds. I got a bag from Chinatown yesterday to compare the
two. They couldnt be more different. The US is smooth and light, the
asian rough and rusted brown. The US has a delicate taste, the asian
overpowering. There is hardly any brewed color is the US. The asian
a brownish red. Id add the US to white or green tea. Id add the
Asian to red or black tea. I wouldnt judge either as medicinal. My
reference standard for medicinal is castor oil. I did see a reference
yesterday saying honeysuckle has the same compound used to make
aspirin.

PS Both honeysuckle in a cup looks like spermatazoa. I read a
warning somewhere where honeysuckle is forbidden for young ladies
because it causes erotic dreams. Both my honeysuckles were dirt
cheap. I have a feeling every honeysuckle would be different in
taste.
