Yep. Reminds one of Root Beer. I think I have some in my cupboard - but it's too old and has lost its flavor.
Have you tried Jasmine Pearls? I usually make a large pot - 40% Jasmine Pearls, 60% loose black tea. Pour in the boiling water and watch the Pearls unwind. Taste is at least twice as good as what you get at the best oriental restaurant.

For real sassafras tea you go out early in the morning with an ax, and find the sassafras plant. You cut off some of the roots, rinse the dirt off and use a very sharp knife to shave thin layers off, then boil the root in a tea pot. It was one of the best things about visiting my grandparent's farm as a kid. It was even beter when the sap was down in the roots for winter, and the flavor was at its best. After that, I have never really liked any other teas.

One of the ladies at work is from Hong Kong, and brought back a round donut sized cake of tea from there. She gave it to me and I gave it to my cow-orker, and told her that she should only use a pinch of it. She didnm't listen, and used a more generous amount and learned her lesson. It was waaaay too strong!
Well, all questions of 'tea' left aside, this is what I've found out from research/usage.
If you compare two 'fresh' batteries, one alkaline and one NiMH, you'll find that the NiMH has a much higher capacity. But the NiMH *also* have a much higher self-discharge rate. If the application uses power at anything like the 20-hour discharge rate, the NiMH will win hands down. But if the application is on the order of 'several-month' rate, the self-discharge of the NiMH will be a bigger 'draw' on the battery capacity than the application. So the alkaline battery wins.
daestrom P.S. of course NiMH are rechargable, whereas alkaline are not.

Well, alkalines _are_ rechargeable, as you can see if you buy the Rayovac Renewal rechargeable alkalines. They do recharge, but in my experience, they don't get very many charges before the capacity is greatly diminished.
Too late - that's already been brought to the attention of the readers a number of times in the last few years.

NiMH are quickly catching up with alkaline primaries.

Only in some applications, self discharge I think is about 20% in the first 7 days for NiMh cells and is very temperature dependant if you store them warm after charge you can lose 50% in 7 days quite easily, and loss rate is higher for the higher capacity cells. Charlie+
