Well, I never thought it would happen, but I found an interesting herbal tea. I bought a cup of said tea on the navajo reservation in northern new mexico (I decided against bringing my tea equipage on a recent short roadtrip through the desert, and was in dire need of something at least like tea). The lady at the counter was unable to tell me much about the plant, but I have gathered from online research that it's made from a plant called greenthread which grows throughout the southwest. Just wondering if anyone else had tried this kind of herbal tea, and if you enjoyed it. I thought it was quite good (considering it wasn't camellia sinensis), and its taste reminded me of trees, and had a pleasant smell like the woods.
In other news, driving navajo route 49, which is more like a set of jeep tracks than a road, with a 4-door nissan altima led to about 1100 bucks worth of damage to the bottom of the car, I recommend that you don't try it.
