I am a self-proclaimed Tea Aficionado after all. After reading a few blogs I was inspired to write about the things I've themed my blog to be about. I love tea (as you guys know), and I like researching it. So, why not record the fruit of that research?
Tea. Camillia Sinensis.
It's got two forms we see it in most commonly: Green Tea and Black Tea. Of course, these also have sub-branches, and there are other kinds of tea. (Black Tea, Darjeeling, Oolong, White Tea, Red Tea, etc. Also none Camillia Sinensis teas like Jasmine and fruit or herbal teas). I'll cover these things, in depth, in a later post.
Fun, non drink related, uses for tea:
1) A wet tea bag can reduce the pain of a razor burn.
2) A cold, wet, tea bag can stop bleeding and pain of a lost tooth. (Also helpful to prevent dry socket after wisdom tooth removal).
3) You can put your used tea bags near your plants (like roses) to help nourish them.
4) You can tea stain printed paper. Looks cool.
5) Increase the speed of decomposition in a composte heap.
There are a lot of uses for tea. I'm an avid believer in the medicinal uses for tea (I'll make another post on that, as well), and just the neat tricks like the ones above you can put them towards.
Home remedies are a must in my book, especially any involving tea.
