New Woods Brew

I'm officially trying to get into brewing tea both at home and in the woods.

It's been a long road so far and it's only been a week or so. I'm trying to learn what I do and don't like and have had a few absolutely horrid cups and a few darned good ones.

Today I found a new kind of tea. It comes from a company called Numi and isn't from the traditional tea plant Camellia Sinensis but from the Honeybush. They call it "Bushmen's Brew" and after I saw that I just had to buy it and give it a try.

It's good. I can certainly see why they'd call it Honeybush as the honey overtones are quite obvious. This is a dramatic improvment over that cup of Lapsang Souchong I had earlier this week.

I'm still so new to the whole concept that I can't tell you much about this tea versus the others but I know that my favorite far and away is still spruce tea followed by Rooibos and then this Honeybush--none of which are actually tea I just noticed...

Hmm...that's interesting.

I hope some of you can educate me further in the art and science of brewing up a cup in the woods.

Thanks for reading,
