I did not mean it in that way that I doubt people may have used it as a emetic (to vomit)
What I did decide not to post was Even bitter tea will make you puke
The tannins can I know I love Bitter black tea
Yuapon or illex tea I’ve drank do not seem to be bitter, but I am sure it could be concentrated
My point was that the person that named it may have had a agenda not to lose Market share of regular real tea , by naming the latrin name vomitica tea since he had associates with the British Tea company
even a other famous botanist tried to have him change the name.
By the way
In South America it is a popular drink (Yerba Mate)
When In Miami I went to Little Havana you can get a huge bag for cheap
(If there in Miami could get good deals)

I also have some in tea bags
you may want to try regular verse roasted on fire (as has a wood smoke flavor )
(if you want I can give brands name)
This will give you a idea of what you like before processing
(I never had Gunpowder tea yet,
but maybe I can develop a taste of this smoky taste over time of drinking it
what I have reminds me of gunpowder tea’s description at least.)
