I fancy having some whilst out skiing this year but I can't work out what it is! I know its a herbal tea but which - any ideas?

Flavoured teas are usually regular tea leaves with added flavour or essential oil in freeze-dried granules, the same as coffee granules. At least they are in tea bags where the granules can be dosed accurately by weight; in loose tea you have to use a iquid flavour because all the granules drop to the bottom of the pack.

Varies between alpine huts. Often it is some kind of extremly sweet fruit tea, but e.g. the Dom hut used to brew something horrible containing Earl grey, milk powder, and whatever the dog brought in...

No idea but it sounds like it should be mostly cocaine.

This old thread is just as illuminating as the current one, in case you hadn't seen it already:

So the answer: nobody knows...

I've had a sickly mint flavoured 'tea' on several occasions, really wish they wouldn't add the sugar whether its fruit or mint based
