tea in autumn



It's not always tea for me. Sometimes it's coffee. I like both. But often times it's tea that I'll make at night, especially in the fall. I like the warming comfort it provides. It used to be nothing but Earl Grey – the smell of bergamot is heavenly to me and takes me to a special place every time I open a bag. But lately I have been purchasing other teas as well. The Yogi tea's have pretty boxes and claims that sell me every time. There was one that stood out on the shelf a few weeks ago that was named "Calming" - eases mild tension and anxiety. It has chamomile, lavender, lemongrass and licorice - discover a soothing way to relax. Well I think my week vacation did a better job of that but none-the-less the tea taste good and I like reading the tea tags. Mine tonight says, "If you don't love where you come from, you can't love where you are going. "

  3. I'm in a rut....I only drink vanilla almond tea from "the republic of tea"
    {you can order it online, whole foods, world market} and have been now for years and years !

    I will drink other flavors at a friends house, but at home I have to have my vanilla almond :)

  4. I am surprized at how many Earl Grey lovers besides myself are in this group!...I think it was Salada tea that used to have fortunes on all their teabag tags...what fun!
