Thx, I see. You're right, in German the use of the word tea has been extensed to anything where you pour hot water over except coffee. Thinking about it, I assume I don't really like any herbs for "tea" - I just drink them because they don't no harm giving my body a pause from all that coffee and green tea and black tea. Camomile is less awful than some other herbs and that's enough for me to give it three stars ;)

I agree Fritz when you say that there's psychologic behind what you drink ! ;)
But hey roiboos is no tea.
Well, in Germany they call herb tea "tea". In France we call it "tisane" to distinguish it from "thé".
But you'll also find roiboos in French tea shops. Oh well.
I don't really like roiboos. First there's no cafeine in it (zzzzzzzzzzzzz) and this mellow honeylike taste, I don't know.
As for herb teas, I also like camomille.

I hate roibosh with a trace of strawberry though I like strange direction like camomile or haws. I have at least one cup of green tea everyday. In fact, I like to have variations throughout the day so I avoid to have the same taste twice in direct sequence. And I have coffee always in between about five times a day. Obviously, I like variety - and I made almost a routine out of it. Probably there is some psychologic behind what you drink and how you drink it and how you hold your cup and so on.

Late night work definitely requires black tea in large quantity. =) I work from 7pm-7am CST at my network engineering job so my french press is always nearby.

I like red panax ginseng extract for a little extra zip and when I'm really needing mental edge or a kick in the behind, I add piracetam which is a mild and effective nootropic.

Hooray for tea!

Well, mostly I drink tea made with a bag... In my teens, I went through my loose leaf tea phase. Now I drink black tea with breakfast, some mate during the day and herbal teas at night.
