Preparation
if anyone wants the rest let me know. my review is what “I” think, others might find it wonderful
“Bedbug blood” – That’s a very interesting descriptor!
I’ve had to deal with bed bugs now and then the only way to kill em is to hold em down and slide. It’s gross and I hate the lil buggers. Back on topic. Would you like to have the rest ?
Wow, sorry you had to deal with bedbugs! Sounds horrible :(
Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately Pu-erh tea is a little too harsh on my stomach :(
Ok :) what tea is good for your stomach?
Generally I drink green tea and different types of herbal teas (I explain it further in my profile). I find those are much gentler on my stomach- maybe it has something to do with the tannins?
i wouldn’t know :( do you take medications?
Nope, I just always have had a sensitive stomach. A few years ago I had an ulcer or what was the beginning of an ulcer and ever since then I’ve noticed certain foods and drinks can upset my stomach.
An ulcer would do it. At least you can still drink green tea :)
Yes, I am thankful for that :)
im not much for herbals ;)
