I’ve found the best tea in Palestine.

It’s made by cave dwellers who live a two hour hike from the rural village At-Tuwani where I work. This area is beautiful; to the south is a view of the Negev desert, and to the the east you will see the Jordan mountains. To get to these caves you must hike around Israeli settlements without being spotted (or else you risk harassment or worse), and climb up and down steep hills. From these remote caves one gets the sense that if there was an emergency an airlift out would be required.
