I harvest and produce this tea. I just drank some an hour ago :) I sell it a farmer's markets

Could you also do an episode on Sage and how it's used as "cleansing" but makes me feel off

[@diribigal]

There's one flashing frame of text, at the end or beginning of the loop. It might say "sacred plant holly" but I can't read it that fast. It's very distracting, though.

Lol is she just reading the wikipedia article?

I would assume they didn't label it vomit because the natives were throwing up from it, but instead one of the Europeans tried the drink and the unfamiliar flavor didn't agree with their pallette. Just a guess though. Either way, rock on.
