I am very interested in growing my own bamboo tea. This thread has been very informative to read.
Is there any update on your progress with the bamboo tea.
thanks

Re: Bamboo Tea
On the topic of bamboo tea.... I am a huge tea drinker, so my girlfriend bought me a couple teas (camellia sinensis) and one that was bamboo leaves. Instead of using c.sinensis as a base, this tea blend used bamboo leaves, and they recommended brewing it just like green tea. Well, I tried some, and it was pretty amazing. It has a noticeable relaxing effect on the digestive system, and the taste is actually quite nice. Once my bamboos leaf out a bit more, I may try to make some myself.

Re: Bamboo Tea
dionkar333, did they identify what type of bamboo leaves and did the tea have a brand name?
Southern Indiana.
My Bamboo List.
The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

Re: Bamboo Tea
One source says that they use young madake leaves. The brand name is Bamboo Leaf. I cant find much about this brand, so it must be a newer company.
here is their website: http://www.bambooleaftea.net/index.php
It should be noted that I made the observation of helping digestion BEFORE I looked up their website, since I only bothered to find the site to better answer the question. So, there may be some validity to their claims.
