    Ask me any question about tea. For example can tea be used in self defense? Yes it can. NOTHING stops an attacker like a freshly brewed earl grey to the face.

    Chamomile will leave you to drowsy to run away when the golf course manager comes to ask you why your group is trying to drive teacups.

    Can you use a tea bag as a suppository?

    I'm interested in getting into Green Teas, where should I start looking?

    Also, what do you think of Harney and Sons?

    Only if you are in a hurry. However that makes it a little uncomfortable to sit back and relax with a freshly brewed cup.

    What kind of tea do you recommend as a 'thirst quencher'? Preferably with no caffeine?

    When Picard asks for his Earl Grey to be hot, how hot is it?

    I also want to use tea in hand to hand combat. What are the best ways to deploy tea as a distraction or blinder? Also if I add chilli powder to the tea does it make it more effective?

    A hyson I think is a good thirst quencher. Green tea and white teas generally tend to have lower caffeine content. As far tea that has no caffeine you can get decaffeinated tea. I've also found that that both hyson and sencha tea make for great iced teas.

    As hot as the women he surrounds himself with.

    You can just use a straight throw. For a demonstration, next time you are on a date just say something wildly inappropriate and she'll show you how to throw a drink at someone.

    Next, adding chili powder will ruin your tea. If you want to make your drink more effective, blend your tea with some lemon and lime. This will not only add sting but also zest. You can even add a pinch of sweetener to sweeten the taste of victory.

    When I look up "Hyson" tea, it appears to be a brand name with several different teas associated with it. Is there a particular type of Hyson tea you'd recommend?

    Sencha is a kind of green tea, right?

    Do you consider "herbal teas" to be "tea"? (I ask because in the US, often the term "tea" includes iced tea, brewed 'real' tea, and herbal 'tea')

    In a pinch, but it's always better from a pot.

    What did you you think Ice T would be rapping about if he hadn't been one of the inovators and was born in like the 80's?

    Yes, Yerba Mate is basically considered the coffee of tea.

    That company simply co-opted the name hyson from the the type of green tea called hyson(aka Lucky Dragon). Sencha is a type of Japanese green tea.

    I am not a huge fan of herbal teas, but I still consider them a type of tea. A lot herbal teas make big claims that I simply don't see the evidence for(ie Detox tea) but if you simply enjoy the taste, who am I to judge?

    The food.

    Thanks! (I would have clicked on the 'thanks' icon, but it seems to be missing)
