Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Have you ever heard of Labrador tea?
Absolutely .... I've never met anyone outside of the northern communities who knew about it.
In our language we call it 'KA-KEE-KEH-POO-KWA' .... I think the word stems from the word 'KA-KEE-KEH', which translates as 'forever' ... because you can even find this plant frozen in the wilderness in the dead of winter and still make tea from it.
However, it makes a very weak mild tea ... highly nutritious but it doesn't taste like much. I got the bright idea one summer to make it extra strong and boiled a small bushel to make a dark tea. A more scientific friend of mine later warned me that the drink has to be mild because in stronger doses, it can be poisonous.
Poisonous flower, hmm? Id be willing to bet its related to the nightshade family even though there are a ton of poisons that are not
I like the flavor, maybe I make it too strong, I just put enough leaves to cover the bottom of my tea strainer/brewer thing. I like the flavor.
If you wanna try something flavorful and no caffeine, try the Aveda tea. Brew it hot, but drink it lukewarmish. Somehow it tastes much better cooler.
