I do wish we had horses here. This island is bigger than it looks and having to walk all around it is tiresome. If I could ride, it would be so much more efficient.

Anyhow, several days ago, I went around to gather some supplies that I thought might liven up the bland tea that we have. I've dried it all in the sun and sewed it into little tea bags. The results were not bad, if I do say so myself. I've made mint, ginger, lemon and lavender, so if you'd like to try some, let me know and I will give you a few bags.

	The Ark? Which tea in particular or would you like a sampler of all of them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A space station that housed what remained of the Earth population following the nuclear disaster. A sample of all? I've only tasted black tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Oh. Well, that is far different from what I am used to. Of course. These are all technically black teas, they just have different flavourings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is a variety of people here so I'm not surprised. See? I know nothing about tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I believe all teas are made from the same type of plant, it simply depends on how long it is dried or which part of the leaf is used. I'm certainly not an expert though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you definitely have me beat on the subject. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They only had the one sort of tea on board your Ark? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly? I'm not sure, but I think so. We were kind of limited on things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can imagine. I would be happy to let you try one of each flavour though and you can decide which you like best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. I appreciate that. There are a lot of things here I haven't tried because they just weren't available. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unfortunately this island is limited in its resources as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know, but with so many skills here, we can make it work. (Reply to this) (Parent)
