A wild guess as this just popped into my mine. Was it some type of Tea?

SkinnyDomicile says,

Yes, tea. Specifically, pekoe. Good guess!

Hooray for me! I think I should go on some TV game shows and win some money, because I am good at trivia. I can retain what I read from years ago. Thank you.

Ceylon orange pekoe is my favourite!
