Also suggested for sore throats IIRC. <br /><br />As for cleaning - a friend was surprised when the waiter at their Hong Kong style restaurant poured the tea, remaining from the previous patrons, onto the table and used it to clean it down. I've seen dim sum participants wash their chopsticks and bowls in tea - a Chinese friend told me it's common in Hong Kong as they don't trust they are clean. Yet they eat the food :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059178383786978519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-55403663853924847022011-09-25T14:40:14.579-07:002011-09-25T14:40:14.579-07:00I definitely can testify to tea making good compos...I definitely can testify to tea making good compost. Compared to most vegetable compost, it decomposes very quickly. Broken-leaf tea decomposes extremely quickly. I usually skip the composting and apply the used tea leaves directly as a mulch to areas that are sunny, dry, and nutrient-poor in the garden. Whole-leaf tea holds moisture a lot, which can cause mold if it's in a damp area, but usually, in areas where there is not enough organic material to hold moisture, used tea leaves are great for direct application to a garden.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-72180214378221164892011-09-24T16:41:52.074-07:002011-09-24T16:41:52.074-07:00Maybe you should spill tea more often.
