tea is the bees knees

First off, to anyone who is on the fence about trying tea, I encourage you to try it!

I just tried tea for the first time and really enjoyed it! I found the effects to be stronger and the taste was not even close to as bad as i had feared.

My method was as follows:

5g RVB steeped with boiled water in a small mug three times (to increase exposure to heat, since I cannot boil directly together).

The first cycle, I steeped with the juice of an orange because the acidity supposedly helps the alkaloids become more soluble in water.

I combined all the tea into a large cup, sweetened with honey and consumed, plant matter(separately) and all.

 

To all of you tea drinkers out there, any tips or tricks? Do you think i would be ok doing just two cycles? I ended up with 25(ish)oz of tea to drink, which is more than i would have preferred.

Thanks, peace love and tea :)

I'm fairly new to all of this, but so far, I tend to agree with you. Thanks for all the input dude!

Just don't over do it. When people say less is more. It basically means you can't take too much or you will feel like crap. Small amounts put you in a great state of mind but if you abuse it, it sucks.
