When I started my blog in January my first article was on Gratitude and having three things to be thankful for everyday, no matter how insignificant. One of the things I was always grateful for on my early mornings was tea, especially a Starbucks Chai Latte and so my tea journey began.
My tea journey
My blog is not exclusively about tea but tea surely accompanies all of my life. Recently I have been asked about my favorite tea. Wow-there’s no way to choose that! I can say why I like a certain tea or who I think may like a certain one etc.
Finding Tea-my scientific method
Many teas on my tea journey were found through the scientific method of liking a tea container or name (it hasn’t failed me yet). So here are my thoughts on teas I have tried and liked so far. I hope you’d like to try some too.
It may take some time to go back through my blog and read about all of the teas but the links will be highlighted if you want to check that particular article out in further detail. Here are some of my thoughts.
Teas
PG-Tips:
This is my first cup of black tea or two every morning. It is a milky cup of PG Tips, without sugar. It is also many an afternoon tea too. It is my perfect tea ritual. I love this tea-always have. My hot tea drinking daughter adds sugar and milk-to each their own. Tea should always be the way you prefer to have it.
David’s Tea
Buddha’s Blend-chosen for the packaging and name. Wow what a taste! Very fruity. I am so glad I found David’s Tea for so many different teas but especially Buddha’s Blend. I started Buddha’s blend as sachets thinking it was loose leaf tea but now use loose tea. It is great either way.
Pumpkin Chai-This is a true taste of the fall. It was a wonderful gift from my non hot tea drinking daughter. I take this with me for my afternoon tea at work.
Pomegranate Green tea
My favorite Pomegranate green tea is my local grocery store brand-keeps sickness at bay. That and Vicks Vapor Rub go hand in hand in my book. A few friends of mine like to add some sugar or honey but I like it plain.
Stash Tea
Portland Blend is a rainy day or any day yummy tea. I added milk but you don’t have to. It was a gift given to my mother on an Alaskan cruise I just had to try.
Old Barrel Tea Company
I found these during a mountain road trip. They are very different in taste but both yummy and well worth trying.
Snap Dragon and Thistle
I was honored to be asked to try their teas and I loved them. I also love their sample option for non buyer remorse.
Hawaiian Islands Tea Company
Pineapple Tea– a gift my hot tea drinking daughter gave me after a trip to Hawaii-a taste of the tropics
Tea Drops Tea
Huge hit with teens in my life. Instant sweet and tasty tea. I love that they are women owned.
The tea flavors in this set are:
Harney and Sons Tea
Hot Cinnamon Sunset by Harney Tea. My husband loves this one-it is a constant in our home. It’s a very tasty tea.
Tazo Chai Organic Latte
You can do no wrong with the Tazo Chai Organic Concentrate. It is easy to make a hot or iced chai. One of my absolute favs!
Teabloom Blooming Teas
These teas came with my glass teapot and I did not try them for ages. They are beautiful to watch bloom and you are given a mild, green tea to drink.
Twinings
Cherry Bakewell tea is a yummy tasting dessert, perfect for the sweet tooth and calorie conscious.
Charleston Tea Plantation
American Classic-a milder black tea. A tea gift from my brother after his visit to a tea plantation that I didn’t even know existed.
Trankebar tea
I tried the Heather and Forest fruit a lovely mild fruity tea. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Have I scratched the tea surface?
Not even a little bit. I am excited to continue to discover so many more teas as my tea adventure continues.
Teas I haven’t even written about
No I’m not holding out on you but there are teas I drink and love that I haven’t written about yet but I’m sure I will. David’s Tea Cream of Earl Grey is a high contender. There are also tea’s I haven’t written about and don’t exactly love so…..let’s just leave it at that.
Things to suggest
Drink tea the way you like it, milk, honey, lemon, sugar or plain.
Don’t be afraid to try a new tea.
Loose tea is not scary.
Samples and sampler sets are a good place to start.
Gratitude
So finally all these months later what 3 things am I grateful for today?
I am grateful that I have had support from my family with my blog endeavors.
I am grateful that I have tried so many new teas and still appreciate the old.
I am grateful for you.
Keep enjoying yummy tea. Let me know if you try a new one.
