You don't know the half of it. 'Snickering' isn't nearly hard enough.
I remember when Celestial Seasonings first entered the market, and all us hippies began drinking Red Zinger tea when it came out in 1970. I tried to tell myself that I liked it. I tried. Honest, I tried. But when the 'EarthMother' of our commune insisted that we drink Chamomile at night I drew the line.
Black or green, with no flowers or flavors added to it.
(I'll only admit to Jasmine tea with my Chinese food.
.)
Today, Celestial Seasonings accounts for over 100 million dollars in Herbal and green tea sales in the US alone, and they are VERY prominent in International sales as well. There must be something to it, as no one spends that much on the Emperor's New Clothes. Sometimes I'm envious of those who enjoy herbal teas. The names sound so inviting.
