Never before has a description of a tea been so correct. There have been many attempts by many companies to develop a tea that is designed to 'sedate' the drinker, to bring a sense of calmness. Most, if not all, have
failed miserably. So it was with a cynical mind when I decided to brew up a cup of Crazy Bitch Tea.
The formulator, Lynn Higgin, obviously knew what she was doing when she created this concoction. "As a Clinical Herbalist, and Wholistic Kinesiologist, I used my skill in tea making to come up with the perfect blend of tea to bring balance, bliss and harmony to all of our beloved sisters out there-with a protective wing and an understanding that we stand by you in your time of need and comfort!"
I, not being a 'sister', thought that this would have absolutely no effect on me. I am a man! I can take anything you can throw at me! Boy, was I wrong...
Normal bed time for me is roughly 11-12 at night. I run several businesses from home, so it is impossible for me to not take my work home with me. So I wake up early, get on the grind, and go all day until it is time to pass out around midnight. However, this evening was different. Being the arrogant person I am, I decided to have a cup of Crazy Bitch around 8:30.
I let the tea steep at 175 degrees for about 5 minutes (well, it was actually 15...forgot I was making it!). The tea was delicious. Right off the bat I could really taste the chaste tree berries, cinnamon, and dandelion root. As the flavor unfolded, the rest of the ingredients both blended together and stood out on their own; an ideal mix. NOTE: I made sure that I wasn't pregnant, nursing, or had diarrhea before consuming.
I flipped on the TV to watch some of the recorded science shows I love to watch, and within 10 minutes, I could really feel the shroud of calmness surround me. I got the drowsy eyes a few minutes after that. And before I knew it, I was passed out, drooling all over the couch and its pillows. I awoke, startled, at about 5 in the morning, wondering what the hell happened. It was then I decided that from here on out, if I ever have a crazy bitch running around the house, I could just make a small cup, and all my problems will be solved.
