I'm having a lovely cup of a mix of Youthberry (herbal) and Wild Orange Blossom (white) from Teavana. It cost a pretty penny, but I'm sure cocaine would be even more expensive.

Right?

Anyway, it's delicious.

I think I've tried Wild Orange Blossom before. It was really good.


Yep we gotta spend our money somewhere...haha

Sunrise at Midnight

it sure can be expensive but tea is so worth it!

Thanks for starting the new one Sunny!

I probably spend too much money on tea. But I'm pretty okay with that.

Books, clothes, food and tea are my big expenses (outside of rent and bills, of course).

I don't smoke, I don't own or drive cars, I don't drink alcohol, I don't eat red meat or cheese...

I mean, that used to be more meaningful before I started buying red meat to cook for my brother's family. But, still...

Sunrise at Midnight

Me too, I'd rather spend more on tea than other things


I've discovered I like Lipton peach tea better than Arizona peach tea...funny huh that there can be such a big taste difference in the same flavor

Sunny That's one of my favorites!

It's a delicious combo.

Arizona's tea has so much sugar, it's as bad as sodas. It's best to make our own ice tea and sweeten to taste.

sunnykerr

Is that a company or the state?

Sunrise at Midnight

It's both but yeah Arizona is brand that has a lot of ready made teas... kind of like Snapple...

yeah I agree it also kind of reminds me of drinking Kool-aid but I do kind of like their Arnold Palmer half and half ( sweet tea & lemonade)

If we have that around here, I am not aware of it. But, from the looks of with, I would hazard a guess that it's for kids, right? Usually, foodstuffs that are that colourful is marketed for kids. And, of course, is super sweet.

I love Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Constant Comment, Red Rose, and Lipton for some of the caffeinated teas I own. Peppermint is my favourite herbal tea. I do get Peach tea. I drink my tea plain...no sugar, sweetner, cream or milk in mine. I make 12 cups at a time and refrigerate the rest in glass jars. Then I drink it cold...add ice if desired or heat it up and put it up in a mug.

That's awesome. I love hearing from a fellow tea enthusiast.

I don't like reheating tea, it doesn't taste the same. I make my tea twice as strong before putting ice if I intend to make ice tea,

A colleague of mine makes ice oolong tea in summer time and put it in her fridge. It seems like I never make a whole pitcher of tea...


While we are projecting ourselves to summer, tea popsicle would be great.

I usually don't reheat my tea. I make the tea extra strong then I put in glass jars for ice tea later after it is refrigerated. I enjoy hot tea freshly made.
