eastern medicine is degenerate but what herbal teas do you guys drink

I think the title is too niche a reference but regardless, it's that time of year again at last so recommend teas that I can pretend have health benefits but are really just dirt water.

I have a cup of ginger turmeric in the morning and two cups of chamomile before sleep and I think the morning could be moved to early evening and so I specifically want something herbal for first thing in the morning but I'm open to others :star:

The pumpkin spice finally ran out and it would be weird to reup on that in December.

NOTHING CAFFEINATED

I only drink Ito En Jasmine Green tea, actual jap sencha, gook hwangcha or expensive chink pu-erh.

Only the finest tea leaves picked by monks, virgins and/or maidens.

I have a pancake sized puck of pu-erh from one of the Yiwu mountains of the Six Great Tea Mountains.

I'm saving it for a special occassion.

Like Xi Jinping dying. Or the Three Gorges Dam collapsing. Or Chinese Civil War. Or China becoming bankrupt. Or Shanghai falling into the giant sinkhole that is Shanghai.

Last December, Sotheby's Hong Kong announced the launch of its inaugural Puer tea online auction with 20-plus lots, spanning from century-old antiques to modern day tipples. The highest bid of US$71,600 (HK$562,500) went to a 1950 Blue Label tea cake weighing around 330 grams – a lot celebrated not just for its antiquity, but because it is from a rare batch made during the municipalisation of tea production in China.

If you're importing, a cake of high end puerh runs $50-100. Some places will sell them in smaller pieces.
