That stuff is a lot more expensive than the typical gunpowder teas. But
the brown liquor is fine.

I think you're out of your mind. Tea should be a calming and pleasant
thing... I will bet most of the health benefits come from that anyway.

But go to a local Asian grocery and look for Temple of Heaven brand.
You should be able to get a months's supply for a couple bucks. It's
not bad, but it will get bitter if your water is too hot.
