Are certain pine needles better for tea? Are there varieties of pine that should be avoided?

The thread above mentioned mint tea. Is that spearmint or peppermint? Or either?

Anyone tried any dingleberry tea? It's those brown berries that grow in the middle of trails. Odd place for a plant to grow.

I let it go unmolested as well. Just too easy.

I do think that was the intent. Now post something like that in the Numpty thread and you'll get a response like --- oh yeah dude, we make that stuff all the time.
