Herbal Teas and TCM
Lately after eating bird spit, I have developed an interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM. I found out that there is an exhibit on TCM going till Feb. 8 at the Center for Healthy Communities in downtown L.A. How exciting! Here are some shots of a great herbal tea brew I drank on a street corner in Hong Kong. I am not sure what all the herbs were but the pictures show the ingredients. Do you know what these things are? The tea was warm and sweet and medicinal but in a good way. I really felt good after drinking it. My next stop will be to take these pics to a herbal medicine store in Monterey Park and say, please recreate this brew for me.
I like how this looks like abstract art.
