BW2/3  +  238291 Tue, 20 Jun 06 09:43 PM I picked out the leaves from the tea orchard. Then I dried them up. I made the tea from them. The leaves have very strong caffeine and contain souluble narcotic. I used to drink the tea a lot at dawn. It helped me awake for the rest of the day. Are they OK?

Would field/plantation be appropriate for tea?) and dried them. I made tea from them. The tea had a lot of caffeine and a soluble narcotic. I often used to drink this tea at dawn; it helped me stay awake for the rest of the day. (Caffeine would help you stay awake but a narcotic is something that makes you sleepy). nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
