Pu 'erh Tea
Tastes a little bit like brewed horse poop...
...or at least what I would imagine brewed horse poop would taste like. And no, this tea has not been through the digestive tracts of any small indonesian mammals. It's tea that is roasted and aged moreso than regular black tea. It's supposed to be good for digestion. I really have a hard time getting over the pungent aroma of buckwheat and honey, which is what's in sweet feed for horses, but... mustier.
Also, if you drink a lot of it, it makes you crazy jittery on an empty stomach. Best to drink it after a meal because it's not a good awake kind of jittery that lots of coffee gets you.
