Your mum makes it the best, your wife matches up to it somewhat. And at times, we, the menfolk also master it!
The world loves it, as do the average households that measure in billions and perhaps in different parts of the planet. There’s perhaps not an ideal morning without it. And that’s for some who cannot simply imagine their lives without it. Everything, whether food or drink, we are told, has a downside to it.
And at the same time, we are told that excess of anything is bad and perhaps not advised as such. Yet, there are some who don’t- and won’t ever- see any downside of having excess of tea.
Not even when you tell someone that excess of tea consumption can shoot up the level of anxiety in us humans.
It is, after all, one of the simplest, or should one quote it like that, amongst the friendliest of beverages in the whole wide world. It engenders conversation and brings people together.
Though, truthfully speaking, the relevance of tea or chai, as it is called in countries like India, is very specific and warm and bright! It’s a conversation starter and is perhaps the first drink that one consumes especially where it comes to family functions. Think of it- when the groom’s side of the family happens to visit that of the prospective bride, what else does one have, other than tea?
But all of that said, nothing may ever beat the concept of some of the weirdest teas in the world?
So the key question is- what are some of the weirdest teas that anyone could ever have?
Let’s find out some here:
Tomato Mint Tea
Eew! That’s the newage expression right for something too weird to be put into the the mouth? First things first-how on earth can one have tomato in a cup of tea? As a matter of fact, one of the weirdest teas that can ever be, does taste more like soup!
Panda Dung tea
Wait, what? Did you say dung in the tea? And that too, the dung of panda? Believe it or not, but there are some in the world that do happen to drink panda dung tea.
Of course, with all due respect, that it is among the weirdest forms of tea that there can ever be, pertains to China, which is also the source of several absurd things, for example the crazy theory that there exist, at any point in time, moe than fifteen duplicates of Xi Jinping!
A theory that still hasn’t been proven as on date. Though, what’s proven is that there is a panda dung tea consumed by the oriental.

Bugpoop Tea
What’s the obsession of the world with tea that has some form of poop in it. At a time where it did appear that the world could crash given the Panda poop tea, believe it or not, there’s a tea that has larva’s poop in it and is even considered a delicacy of sorts.
Russia Brick Tea
Does this inspire Putin to commit the crimes against humanity and senile acts of human oppression?
Oh, sorry Mr. Vladimir, we don’t want to be massacred.
How you prepare what could be called among the weirdest teas ever known to man is by taking tea fannings and tea dust that are steamed and compressed, which leads to the creation of solid brick-like blocks. And it’s consumed a fair bit in Eastern Europe!
Awabancha
Call it Awabancha or quite simply, a tea variety that is fermented with lactic acid bacteria, the tea that is widely consumed in Japan is easily among the weirdest teas ever known to mankind.
