A nice hot cup of Lapsang Suchong hits the spot.
(Buy in bulk, nothing added. Just tea)
Grown in only one spot in the world.
Good stuff!

Some herbal teas with claimed health benefits are remarkably toxic. They get
sold anyway because somehow the herbal industry got a pass from Congress.
Not only would I not drink a herbal tea, I sure wouldn't touch one from China, not that our home grown ones are necessarily safe.
There is something called Chaparral tea which is marketed in the U.S. It causes liver and kidney disease, but is nonetheless still used and popular in some places.
Don't put stuff in your mouth unless it is from a well regulated food company with lots of product liability insurance.
