I thought being tea drunk was already a great feeling. Hello, tea high. Or even, dare I say, tea stoned?
I don’t like weed and what it does to me. Either it does nothing or it makes me feel nothing which is an absolutely terrifying experience. I’ve given up on it.
So imagine my surprise as I’m having this tea and I notice my heart rate suddenly dropping, my muscles relaxing, my eye lids closing together, my rate of speech slowing, my senses dulling certain aspects of my environment yet clarifying others, my extremities tingling, and just overall feeling pretty decent. It’s what I always imagined being high was like. Still feeling it residually after seven hours though it was most pronounced during the first three. To be clear, this had a very significant effect on my mental state, and I would not consider myself sober during this time, which is astonishing. It’s tea.
I almost offered my partner some before she had therapy appointments with her clients. Glad I didn’t!
The tea itself was nice and light, not very complex in flavor, good for 8 steepings. Rating is mostly for the feelings it produced. But I will go back to this and, erm, attempt to focus more on the tea and take notes.
Seriously, what the hell?
