Usually when children are asleep or watching TV I enjoy my cup of tea. Chai is by far my favorite, but Constant Comment is certainly next in line...why? Well, as I respond to those who ask, because it is so good it leaves you commenting constantly!Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157245690501428315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426587463700510343.post-84331588144307819892009-03-01T16:33:00.000-06:002009-03-01T16:33:00.000-06:00I, too, adore tea - it began when I was working at...I, too, adore tea - it began when I was working at a coffee house and didn't drink coffee (I still don't). I love all sorts, and my addiction has been cemented by my time spent in England. For me there's nothing like it to bring warmth, comfort, healing and peace.

I chose a hot cup of tea instead, soooo relaxing. I like chamomile at night but during the day I have all kinds of favs. Twinings English breakfast is one, I pretend I'm in England while drinking it. (lol)<BR/>Of course I'm a huge coffee drinker also, not sure when I developed the crush on Starbucks, but its there all the same.<BR/>You have such a way with words!

My best friend took me from my lonely dorm room, to her cozy apartment and made hot tea and honey for me. I still don't know if it was the tea or the friendship that made me feel better -- I'm pretty sure it was the combination of the two. <BR/><BR/>When my children were little, another good friend invited me over for tea and lots of special talk time. She lives in Dallas now, but whenever I think of her, I remember those special moments of drinking tea and sharing life together.Cheri'https://www.blogger.com/profile/09645552158950177860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426587463700510343.post-54366035771597299902009-02-27T18:07:00.000-06:002009-02-27T18:07:00.000-06:00Yes, Lori, I just couldn't develop a taste for it....Yes, Lori, I just couldn't develop a taste for it. It seemed like bitter hot water to me. I'll tell you, though - take heed, Sarah - I gotta sweeten it to really enjoy the taste. (Andrea, no coffee for me either - only occasionally when a friend insists that they've ordered me something so doctored up it could hardly be called coffee anymore).Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621332625562122360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426587463700510343.post-63761671198013953692009-02-27T16:06:00.000-06:002009-02-27T16:06:00.000-06:00I too have acquired a taste for tea.

I think Wisconsin's frigid winters make it even more appealing. My favorites are spiced chai(any brand so far) and Twining's Earl Grey Decaf. I find hot tea very relaxing and definitely the best comforter when a sore throat comes on.

I don't know if you remember, but I collect tea pots. I have loved tea since high school, when it was the "in" drink for writers of my young age. (Hey, we didn't have Starbucks.) Have fun on your new voyage of discovery. I highly recommend Stash's Earl Grey by the way.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894631336116945550noreply@blogger.com
