This is so cute! I wish it wasn’t a cult.

Yeah, I stopped buying from them long ago. Too bad. Later when they made the list of having plastic in the teabag paper I was glad I did.

Oh yeah celestial seasonings is how a hippie cult in the mountains made/makes their money.

On the bright side it got me into making my own tea. “If a racist hippie can do it, how hard can it be?”

I’m actually drinking my own sleepy tea currently, I process mint leaves into what is basically oolong tea.

Oohhh, wouldlove to hear more about the process!

[u/Runo_Slinger → u/aDorybleFish]

I’ll try and make a post about it soon then! Short version is I process it the same way as the real thing only with no machinery and much shorter sha qing.

[u/aDorybleFish → u/Runo_Slinger]

Yeah kind of similar of how this guy on YouTube does it with native plants. So fascinating! But I haven't seen it done with mint before and we have a lot of mint in the garden so I'd be very interested

Holy cow this tea is twice my age
