Portland and Tea

Submitted by goRaina on January 11, 2008 - 18:51

I just booked tickets to Portland, OR for the Stumptown Comics Fest in April--Dave and I will be guests at that show. We've never been to Portland, despite the fact that many friends and family members live there, so I am really looking forward to it! I hear it's a great town for brunch!

The weather has been weird and my body has been feeling weird. I've taken a lot of comfort in hot, healing beverages...and while I've always been a "tea person," even 40 kinds of tea in the apartment start to get a little boring after awhile. Here are some of the other nice things I've been sipping:

Fresh Ginger Tea - I like mine with lots of honey, lemon, and lime juice.

Yuzu-cha - [info]ali_wildgoose introduced me to this last winter and my life hasn't been the same since. Sweet, bright, and haunting. Bonus: fruit to eat at the bottom of the cup!

Mind over Muddle - One of three herbal tonics Zen Palate serves, hot or cold. Last night I tried this one, which is raspberry-flavored and said to enhance mental clarity. It tasted pretty nice.

What else would you recommend? I've read about a fresh strawberry and peppermint tisane I'd like to try, and other suggestions would be welcome!
