Gynostemma

Life got super busy for a while, and while I did stop posting, I certainly did not stop drinking tea!  I share a few minutes of tea time with one of my professors, and today he gave me a new tea to try.  It's called gynostemma.  I looked it up after I left, and found some really interesting information.  It is similar in property to ginseng, but is more closely related to cucumbers.  I didn't care for it very much.  It has a definite medicinal flavor that wasn't very enjoyable for me.  Still, it was a new experience and I'm glad I tried it.
