I love fruit teas and herb teas and generally weird teas. I have documented this on these pages in the past. Some of them are great. My favourite is Orange, Mango and Cinnamon. Last night I had a chocolate flavour tea (not sure how that works). But my least favourite one by a country mile is Dr Stuart's Liver Detox tea. It contains "Dandelion root, centaury herb and milk thistle" and it tastes absolutely vile. Very bitter. I know a few people who've tried and it and not found anyone who thinks it's remotely pleasant.
Despite this I like to have one from time to time to see if my tastes have changed and I now like it. It worked for coffee and beer when I was younger, so why not Liver Detox tea? So far there has been no change, but I will persevere. I still have many bags left.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any even more unpleasant (off the shelf) teas that I could try? If so, I'll see if I can get hold of them and do a taste test.
Tea is fun.

Not had the Liver Detox tea before - I think I've heard you wax lyrical about it in the past.
Lapsang Souchong is pretty foul - it's like drinking hot smoke. So are quite a few of the Clipper "philosophical" teas - Ayurvedic and Taoist teas are ones I've had in the past. They always smell lovely and taste revolting.
My favourite tea is this one (http://www.buderimginger.com/consumer_info/search_results_details.asp?intCode=110) which I picked up a box of 25 bags of when I was here 2 years ago, and had been hoarding up till when I got this job. I'm on my third box now since I arrived!
I have some lemon and ginger tea and some ginger (with a bit of cloves) tea, but your one sounds nicer.
Get yo'self some nettle tea - smells disgusting, tastes little better, but you'll be ultra-healthy...
by thw way, I'm BiL - new login thanks to upgrading a blog I run to Googlethingywhatsit...
It's a lot nicer than the Twinings lemon & ginger. (Actually, Tesco's Finest* L&G is the nicest one of those I've had.)
Come and visit me and you can get a box!
I actually really like nettle tea. Does that make me odd?
Chip - you could just send me a box for my birthday! :-)
I've not had nettle tea, but I did find some Dr Stuart's teas here in a supermarket yesterday. Didn't have the Liver Detox one, just the normal detox one, and that one's quite nice.
Who says you're getting a birthday present off me at all? I didn't even get a card off you for mine last year - you texted me to see if I was coming out, and when I said No you complained you might have to buy a stamp!
