On just about every corner there is a Starbuck's touting their coffee's. While they now sell tea, iced tea, chai tea, etc, I happen to be an avid tea drinker and love a freshly brewed tea without sugars (fake or real).
For the last several weeks, my tea education has come full circle and I have been introduced to some amazing teas. First off, I attended a Silent Auction for my nephew's 8th grade fundraising. To my surprise, I bidded and won a Herbal Tea and Book Basket. The basket was loaded with 12 different boxes/varieties of teas from Stash Tea http://www.stashtea.com/. My favorite was a Mojito Mint Green Tea (it was like my favorite drink without the alcohol and it gave me a buzz). It was so refreshing and the aroma just carried me away to a calm and zen place. The other teas were a myriad of flavors like something out of a rain forest: goji berry, acai berry, coconut/mango, chai, chocolate mint. Each flavor was full bodied and able to stand on it's own without honey, sugar, agave nectar, etc. A little drop of fresh lime or lemon juice enhanced the natural flavors.
Tea is nothing without a scone, biscuit, toast, cookie or just something to go along with it. At last weekend's Farmland Exposition at the UIC Forum, I was introduced to all kinds of organic fruits, vegetables, soaps, etc. Nothing caught my tastebuds like Rare Bird Preserves www.rarebirdpreserves.com, Passionfruit Curd preserves. This was heaven on a English muffin cracker and magnificent in my plain greek yogurt. I will definitely get my full serving of calcium per day from now on.
Whether you are an avid coffee drinker, there is plenty of reason to try some flavorful tea.
Peace and Love,
Sandals
