Here’s a tasty Sorrel Tea I picked up somewhere. I’d never even heard of Sorrel, let alone tasted it. Evidently it’s a perennial herb that’s popular as a drink mixer and alone in Trinidad. I should have tried it with the Doubles! As a tea it’s fairly mild, maybe with a vaguely cranberry taste to it. I’ve got to admit I’m a little puzzled by the copy on the packaging though:

“Life is a search for one’s self and its innocence lost and violated while you were growing up.” Whoa! It goes on from there to suggest, quite radically I think, for a product like tea, that rather than taking a moment to let your cares drift away or to indulge a fantasy–to enjoy a “hypnotical trance”–you ought to…well, do something else, I guess. It’s not clear.
Angel Brand is a tea and spice importer located in Media, PA, some of whose products appear to be popular with folks who might, for one reason or another, be worried about passing a drug test.
