I went to consult a Chinese pharmacy on my three-week sticky cold with cough and sore throat. They gave me a cup of dark brown tea that smells nothing with a traditional plum candy. The medicine tea tastes so ... bitter! Jesus! I have never ever drunk this kind of bitter and difficult to stand medicine. This is the notorious Chinese anti-cold tea. Ah, I made a big mistake. My stomach felt uneasy just after taking this. A notice on this medicine says it is side-effect to stomach. Yea, it's unavoidable effect. So bitter.
