I've finally found a sort of tea I like. Except I like it because it doesn't actually contain tea but some crazy flower/herb herbal thing. Perhaps I should have saved it for breakfast. Oh well.

Not what the doctor ordered, exactly, as I came up anemic again for the blood drive. But I'm on my period, an my hermocrit was only a 37 - it has to be 38 to give blood - so I think I have my anemia under some sort of control. I just have to weigh myself 'cause I may have fudged my weght a bit sie I haven't weighed myself since the last blood drive and I do't know if I lost or gained any - and gaining, of course, would be the prefered option but staying the same would be okay too. = )

Herbal tea is awesome, although I don't know why it's called "herbal tea" in English. There's not even a word for "herbal tea" in French; it's labelled "tisane".

You ought to look around for Tazo brand herbal tea. The Wild Sweet Orange flavour is the best "fruity" herbal tea I've ever had.

That's the brand I'm drinking! Except it's "Passion", not Wild Sweet Orange. It's also fruity as well, but it has a bit of a sour kick too.

There's a very good reason why there's no herbal tea in French: In English, it's supposed to be tisane as well. I should probably use the proper word for it. = )

Tazo was the only kind of tisanes that I saw around campus that wasn't tea, and even when I poked into the international grocery store there weren't any tisanes. I'm going to check out Krogers tomorrow to see what they have there.

Oo... I haven't tried Passion yet. I have Wild Sweet Orange and Refresh, their mint tea. I picked up the latter for IP&S AU research because it's probably very close to the tea that Shayna makes.

No Not-Really-Tea teas at all? That's odd. All the Tim Hortons on my campus had a variety of flavours.

I picked up a few diffrent packets today, but I haven't tried any out yet. I'm kinda iffy already on them, because all of them except Passion (Wild Sweet orange, Calm, and Refresh) contian a mint and or licorice, and I don't care for either of those flavors either. But I'm really picky about my drinks, though so this is about par for the course. = )

Tazo was the only brand of tisane I've seen around campus until this morning I saw one more type of not-tea. I think it was some sort of rasberrry. There's some juice powerders, but that's about it.
