I just came across this awesome new herbal tea. I swear, I had a cold, and then I drank some of this tea, and then a couple of days later I didn't have a cold anymore! It was a miracle!

In fairness, I don't have a huge problem with Traditional Medicinals. They do make pretty tasty herbal teas, and herbal teas are, well, tasty. Outrageous health claims luckily don't make the tea taste bad. I just wish Traditional Medicinals could be a little more like Celestial Seasonings... you know, CS talks about the flavor and rambles on about their "blendmaster" and stuff, and only occasional hints at pharmacological activity (and really, is it controversial that maté is a stimulant and valerian root is a mild depressant? I'm thinking the few claims Celestial Seasonings makes are probably reasonable). TM on the other hand is all about the woo.

They do make a pretty impressive ginger tea, though, you gotta give them that...
