Fall flavors

T.T. — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 07:48:55 +0000

It’s really deep into fall and winter is quickly approaching. It’s time to think about the warm seasonal spices that come with it. I just paired egg nog as a creamer in my creme brulee coffee. My mother has been using her seasonal creamers to spice up her hot cocoa. Fall teas can also be added into this equation. There is no end to the possibilities when you get in the mood to experiment with your hot drinks this time of year. Have fun!

Favorite for Flu season : Ginger Green Tea

T.T. — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:15:45 +0000

I just got myself some Ginger Green Tea. I am only wishing I could have gotten it BEFORE I got sick! Oh, how great this stuff makes the body feel. Beautiful effect on the senses and the full well being of the body. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially those susceptible to frequent sickness during this flu/cold season.

Tea Party revisited

T.T. — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:00:51 +0000

On April 15th, hundreds of people showed up to re-enact the Boston Tea Party. This time the gathering was to protest the $7.8 billion recovery bill. The tea was not thrown into the water, but gathered together to symbolize the original act. More than 30 cities joined in the protests.

How to get more tea savvy

T.T. — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:02:53 +0000

The best way to get more tea savvy is to try more tea, of course. It’s hard to choose what to buy, especially if the cost is more than we care to pay. I would hate to buy a full box of tea just to find out that I abhorred the taste. The best way to go is to buy cost effective “” Tea Samplers “”
. These usually feature an array of flavors with minimal risk.

There are also companies that will let you sample their products for free, as well as those who add in a a sample of your choice with a regular order. You have to keep your eyes out for those specials. I know one coffee company that will do that with their specialty coffees and I expect they will start with their teas at any time.

Coffee flavored Soy Milk

T.T. — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:41:42 +0000

YES@@@

It is the BUSINESS! I must say that I have mostly foregone Starbucks Frapps for this stuff. Can you believe it? Kikkoman Pearl Soy Coffee Flavored Soy Milk is delicious and cost effective. Although, I must admit that sometimes you just want the real deal…but this stuff does in a pinch or when you can’t get to the store to purchase your favorite flavor of Frappucino. You could also have some while waiting after you shop online with Starbucks. Remember, you can Shop for All Starbucks Coffees at StarbucksStore.com
in the mean time, enjoy some coffee flavored soy !!!

Perfect Peach Tea, no lie

T.T. — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:17:44 +0000

I have been getting myself set up for blogging here more often.

In that spirit, I want you to get to know a tea that couldn’t be called any better than it already is.

This is some heavenly tea. I used to like the old time peach tea that once was widely available. The new stuff is thicker and less appealing to me. THIS tea is exactly what it should be, full of flavor and the smell is heavenly. I give this one 5 cups!

Love is a cup of tea

T.T. — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 17:40:24 +0000

Sometimes strong and bold, sometimes subtle and sweet, sometimes you have to add a little something extra, sometimes it’s perfect as is.

I am about to consume one full cup of Constant Comment by Bigelow. I am preferring their teas more and more. Their peach herbal tea is amazing, as are so many of their other flavors. You would never guess that they are not loose, with the full body they deliver.

Celestial Seasonings and I have a very rocky relationship. I am not so in love with their tea. My mom (Iris) enjoys them more than I.

No matter the brand or flavor, whatever your favorite tea, remember that it’s just like love, and drink it all in.

Drinking tea more healthy than water

T.T. — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 19:01:58 +0000

Did you know that researchers released a study that will make all of us tea drinkers happy as pie? Apparently “drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits”. What? I knew it! I was sick for over a week and the ONLY thing that made me feel any better at all and for prolonged amounts of time was when I had green tea in my system. I am way happy that I was made aware of this report. I am excited to know that my own hunch about tea was right all along

Review: Lipton Iced Tea Mix To Go

T.T. — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:30:24 +0000

I got this adorable little packet in the aforementioned tea swap. I decided to try it today. It was Pink Lemonade flavored, sugar free (splenda sweetened), 0 calories, iced green tea with antioxidants. It’s marketed as a defense tea, to help you bolster your immune system.

This is one exciting mix in. I shook it up in the bottle of water and was pleasantly cooled by the lovely taste of pink lemonade. Delicious! I am really ready to go out and buy a whole box or two of these. I see they have one with citrus and one with raspberry that I would love to try, too.

I give it:

New favorite : Vanilla Chai

T.T. — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:58:17 +0000

I received this lovely tea wallet filled with goodies from a Tea Swap on one of my favorite forums: The Tea Cozy. It’s a place for homeschooling parents who enjoy tea. One of the things I received was Vanilla Chai by Bigelow. I am a big fan of Bigelow and how well they prepare their teas. I have not had one of their teas that I did not thoroughly enjoy. This one is no different.

The Chai is light, and full of flavor. The natural spice of the Chai is subdued to perfection with Vanilla. Vanilla is not my favorite flavoring for teas, but in this particular cup, it totally matches the vivacious bursting spices of Chai. I am very pleased with this one. A splash of milk, a few spoons of sugar and you are on your way to a cup of heaven.
