Thanks KimeyDiann. They are amazing! I don't think I could bring myself to actually use them though - I'd feel bad. when I was a kid and received chocolate shaped bunnies and chicks at Easter I couldn't eat them.
I was trying to figure out where to buy this tea at and if it was a real thing or just beautiful art... it is real. One tea bag is $15 or a box of 12 is $60. There are three different types of tea available.
Oh, how beautiful, Kimmey, but I agree, it would be hard to use them. Ah, Sarah. I always started from the bottom up! ☺
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing the pic!
I found a new place for loose leaf tea based out of Portland that I like. It's called tea chai tae and you can google it. I ordered their vanilla peach apricot and coconut oolong and both are very yummy with just a splash of milk
Sorry I haven't been on the thread in a while but yeah the plantain coconut has notes of coconut and green banana...it's a great afternoon tea
I have recently switched to a lovely Jasmine Petal tea, a delicious Vanilla Rooibos, and a spicy Chai. They are all quite good, and surprisingly caffeine-free!
I treated myself to some teas and a mug from Mighty Teas yesterday. Can't wait for them to get here!
I am drinking "nothing tea". If you read or listened to The Martian, you know that this is hot water, with nothing in it. His version of coffee, after he ran out of the food packets, was hot water with a cafine pill disolved in it. After he ran out of cafine pills he just had "nothing tea". He tried making tea out of potato peelings but it was not good.
Cherie, I remember reading somewhere about some kind of monks (Buddhist?) that drink hot water as a matter of course, so you're in good company. ^^
Potato peel might make a good hooch, but never tea! LOL! I chuckled when I read that about nothing tea.
My sis-in-law in KL makes nothing tea for everyone to drink at breakfast before eating. Something about the warming properties is supposed to be good for digestion and metabolism. Plus hydrating for day. She's very health conscious. Good thing with the 3 new babies, who are growing like topsy.
My husband has a Chinese work partner who drinks nothing tea every day with his lunch.
During the day, when I do not feel like tramping downstairs to get a coffee re-fill, I go to the break room and top off what is left in my cup with boiling water from the-under-the-sink hot water heater. That is my "almost nothing tea".
Has anyone ever tried the kcups of tea for the keurig? I'm wondering if they have more flavor than the tea bags.
No but I would think that the bags have more flavor since you can steep them.
The Walmart here seems to be lacking in different kinds of tea..more like that I am willing to try ;) I have found I don't like the fruit tasting ones. Mostly like the chai, salted Carmel and green tea :) I do add milk and sugar though :)
Do you have a TJMaxx or a Marshall's nearby? I haven't bought any tea from there but I often see many there.
We have both! I will check them out! Thanks, Tasha :)
I had a cup of Earl Gray tea made in the Keurig tonight. It was ok. I normally use Stash Earl Gray. The Chai spice tea that my daughter had was very good though.
Thanks, Cherie :) maybe I will try the chai one. I've never had earl grey before. Is there much flavor to it?
To me, the Earl Gray has a smoky, earthy flavor. It is not flowery.
I've always heard that starting the day with warm water and lemon juice was good for you.
I've heard the same. Haven't done it though.
Have heard the same as well, but have not tried it either.
When I was performing as singer, hot water before a warm up was great. Not sure about added health benefits (besides lemon juice being an antiseptic) but sounds like a decent plan each day. I still do it when I'm sick.
When I was sick last month with a major sinus thing and about to fly, I was told to drink ginger tea. I had to grate ginger root, add water to cover the ginger, steep it and then add lots of honey to make a syrup. I added some to hot water and it worked wonders! I added lemon too when it had it.
My grandfather drank a small glass of hot water with lemon in it every morning. He added a teaspoon of honey just before he drank it down. He always made a face and said it was sour but insisted that it was good for him. I am sure that my grandmother drank it too, but she was always up very early and I never saw her.

Oh, wow! I love them!
They would make a great gift.
Those are so cool! Earl Grey is my favourite tea.
ooo present options. Mine too, Janice. Here the default is English Breakfast though, which I cannot stand.
The peach tea sounds good too. I have a Peach Mango tea that I really enjoy and can't seem to find anymore. It's a white tea. Yum!
So far these three are the only ones available, buy they are planning to "release" a "Pride and peppermint" soon. :)
Oooh! Those are fun!! I will look forward to the peppermint! I love peppermint tea :)
I liked the Pippi Oooolong Stocking idea, but it is not available either, yet.Really cute ideas.
These are great. Another vote for the Earl Grey one. I wonder what novel rooibus could be used for?

I thought about Ian Rankin's Inspector Rooibos series but it's not a classic like the others are and it's a series not a novel. I like yours Almeta.
Oh that's a good one, Sarah!
