Tea for the Morning After - Hangovers
Greetings Students of the Way of the Tea.
Forgive me if I am slower today as I impart wisdom unto you. The path to the Perfect Pot sometimes winds in directions one does not expect.
Last night, we graduated a new class of Tea Masters. And after the big Tea Ceremony, there was a bit of celebration. And as a result, this morning, old Master Amanzi isn’t feeling that “tea makes you feel young forever” feeling I’ve taught you so much about. Not to worry however, for I shall incorporate it into today’s lesson. How tea can help with a hangover.
Please excuse the piercing shriek my teaspoon seems to be making today as I stir my honeybush tea. I hope for your own sake it does not cause your head to throb as it does mine. But as you can see, I know all about the aftereffects of hard partying, as you youngsters call it. After all i wasn’t always a monk in a Tea shrine.
So the main thing to know as you haul your tired and aching body from your bed is this: Rooibos Tea. It is actually that simple. You see, as I’ve told you in the past, Rooibos is extremely healthy and contains a lot of antioxidants — as much or even more as green tea. It can aid irritability and hypertension, and relaxes blood vessels to soothe headaches and allergies, and it has been known to settle the stomach. All of which sounds excellent to me right now.
Perhaps I will step away to brew another cup. You have learned enough today, I think. Rooibos is an excellent hangover cure. I hope you don’t have to put my advice to the test too often. I know I won’t need this information again soon, as there won’t be another tea graduation for many months.
