I am a serious darjeeling tea freak, so I needed to get some and noticed they were open. I went in and saw hundreds of...

I Keep Breaking My Glass Tea Pots

This is a small rant I have… I love making tea with loose leaf tea leaves, so of course, I have one of those fabulous glass tea pots for Blooming Tea and loose leaf tea out all the time. The Problem Is: They are so very delicate made with very thin glass that they are not practical for the “normal” household. Why?: Since they are so delicate, they break all the time! We’ve gone through at least 8 of these...

Blooming Tea is Bloomin’ Amazing

Have you seen “blooming tea”? It’s usually a mixture of different tea leaves and flowers that are wrapped and packed up into a tight ball. When you put it in your clear tea pot and wait 10 minutes, they turn into a beautiful, plumped up flower! Literally, it looks like a pretty flower, often with different colors. There are endless flavors, including many with jasmine green tea, lily flower, chamomile, echinacea, and...

Looking for a Great Fruit Tea?

We polished off a 50 gram bag of Black Currant tea from Teaopia this week! It’s really delicious! It has a base of hibiscus, apple pieces and rose-hip peels…Then, it has elderberries, black currant leaves and black currants, and vanilla. Now, I love black currant, any currant for that matter (we grow them in our garden)…Many people find them bitter or say they taste sort of like soap or perfume…LOL…...

It’s the BEST black tea in existence to me and the people around me! I bring PG Tips tea bags with me when I travel, as you never can find them ANYWHERE!!! So, I buy filtered water at a grocery store and make it at home, where I am staying. This past visit to...

An Easy Alternative to Goji Berry Green Tea

The newest craze in healthy food is the Goji Berry… Goji berries are more scientifically known as Wolfberries or Western Snowberries. (It’s a long story that I won’t cover here as to why they are referred to as Goji now…LOL…Check it out on Wikipedia.) Being that Dried Goji Berries are full of nutrients, powerful antioxidants, and 4 Polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates), they are very healthy… However, since...

Web Chef Review: Seattle’s Best Coffee – Chai Tea Latte

I had a lay over at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Internional Airport today, and could NOT find a Starbucks in Concourse C. So, I did my best to find myself some caffeine in a non-coffee format.

How to Make After 8 Chocolate Mint Iced Tea

This is my husband’s absolute favorite iced tea that I make. I first made it for him when we lived in Iowa, and I had an overabundance of chocolate mint in my garden…It took over, and I needed to figure out a way to use it all up.
