tea!!!!!!! And woul dlove to grow tea at my house ok? What's your
problem



What Wildbilly is trying to say in a very Wildbilly way, is to take it
easy.
You have joined an established group which is the societal equivalent of a
community. You've accused a regular poster here of being rude, but then
have you read here for long enough so that the personalities of the posters
are known to you, or followed the interactions between individuals? Can
you
recognise the twits and separate them from those who give good advice?


I looked at the post.

It doesn't have to be one, but it does look like a shill.

And the idea of growing camellia sinensis in my zone 5 climate interests
me a bit as does the idea of growing and processing coffee. Though I'd
settle for some other caffeine producing plant that's tasty enough, not
a tropical and maybe at least a zone 6.


A acquired taste.

All kinds of herbs can be used to make a tea beverage. Lemon balm is a
favorite of mine, spearmint is good. Nettle makes a nice base, as do
raspberry leaves.

I'm currently drinking store bought green tea but when the weather
warms up.....
