Where can I buy?

It better not be from a sketchy back alley website.

Link me to your site.

I found out recently that the tea plant is a very absorbent plant.... which is why it's able to absorb large amounts of sodium fluoride from its environment, especially if the water used to water the plants has fluoride in it.

But also there is a naturally occurring Calcium Fluoride that the plant generates on its own.

The concern here is that if people consume too much fluoride on a daily basis it can lead to Skeletal Fluorosis which fucks up peoples bones and other internal damage. The older the tea leaves the more fluoride they contain because an aging plant means it had more time to absorb from its environment.

My once favorite beverage is now filling me with fear.

>>tea as as drink is only considering Camellia Sinensis, which contains caffeine. tisanes in chinese are considered "teas" only as far, it's prefixed before the word tea.

From what i've researched; the United States appears to be the largest consumer of "Tisane" while the rest of the world usually resorts to Camellia Tea.

I've been in countless debates about the difference between Tea & Tisane.... but as the U.S
becomes a more dominant tea drinking culture it may very well influence the rest of the world
to alter the definition of Tea into plants infused with water with health benefits.
