drank Random Steepings by Various Artists
1154 tasting notes

Nasty migraine today. I wanted to drink something good, but simple. I went with some flowering jasmine tea that I picked up in Taiwan a year ago. I think it’s green. It has the virtues of looking pretty, tasting lovely, and not getting bitter with a long steep. The floral note really hit the spot. It’s a very natural jasmine flavor (I would be shocked if there’s any added flavoring besides the flower itself). The base is nice and grassy. Solid, but not complex. Perfect for when I don’t have the time or energy for a tea that demands engagement. I put the third steep in the fridge for some nummy iced tea tomorrow.

I hope you’re feeling better now!

Have you tried feverfew tea for the migraines? I am thinking about getting some from Tin Roof Teas for my hubby. I have a friend who suffered horribly for years until a new P.A. told her to take feverfew supplements and she doesn’t have migraines anymore.

Thanks Fjellrev!

Ashmanra, I haven’t heard of feverfew as a migraine treatment before. I am generally skeptical of herbal remedies for migraines, mostly because my migraines are pretty severe. It’s worth a try though. I have found that ginger tea alleviates the pain slightly.
