Lately I have really started to enjoy a cup or two or three a day of hot tea. I am trying with all my might to like it more than my arch nemesis the cola. I am making progress, but I haven't been able to dethrone the cola yet! Darn.
I have quite a collection of tea developing. It seams like each time I go to the store I pick up another flavor to try. I get a odd sense of joy out of trying a new kind, but I keep going back to the same one - Yogi Echinacea Immune Support. Mmmm, yummy good and good for you too. I really think this tea has helped me through the flu season (now by saying that, I hope I don't jinx myself).
Yogi teas also have an added little fun to them - words of wisdom on the tags. Many times they tell me something I really needed to hear at that moment. Does the universe ever do that to you - put the perfect quote or great article right under you nose? Seems to happen to me a lot.
I saved a few tags this week and since you can't read them in the picture - here are the quotes:
Those who live in the past limit their future.
May your light become a living universal light.
The beauty in you is your spirit.
Provoke, confront, elevate.
True understanding is found through compassion.
My friend from Under a Red Roof also has a collection of wisdom you might want to take a look at, plus her blog is pretty darn cool too.
Do you have any good teas to suggest? I would like to try this one soon, but its a bit pricey.
love their Peppermint, Double Red Rooibos, and the Black Raspberry Green Tea.

Hey Colleen! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the brand Republic of Tea. (And I wasn't a tea drinker at ALL until a few years ago.) The tea that finally got me to say goodbye to morning coffee was their Double Green Matcha (mmmm!). I also love their Peppermint, Double Red Rooibos, and the Black Raspberry Green Tea. Num num num! And although they don't have the awesome Yogi Tea bags (which I also love...the bags more than the tea, I think!), they have these cool round tea bags that are environmentally very friendly. :) Kick da cola!

Oh I love tea with quotes! I'm addicted (geniunely) to good earth's jasmine green tea... and the old packaging used to give you little words of wisdom but they repackaged it so it doesn't any more :(
Still good tasty tea though! Good luck with the dethroning of cola!!

It's been all tea, all the time around here; I can't stand being cold!!
Lately, I've been guzzling Tazo Green Ginger; Celestial Seasonings Decaf Sweet Coconut Thai (w/milk--yum!); Tazo Refresh; and Traditional Medicinals Ginger Aid.
And that's the short list....

I also love tea. I've really been into the Yogi Detox and Peach Detox, Green Tea w/mint. I've been experimenting with different honeys, peach for one and creamy honey from Trader Joe's. I got a container of Harney's Christmas blend, wonderful.

Beauty is most certainly in your spirit. Love the Fiesta ware too!

Second vote for the Jasmine Tea. Big fan!

I really like the Stash teas. And guessing you don't have Peet's Coffee in your neck of the woods, but I dig their Jasmine Green tea - lemme know if you're interested, maybe some will find their way back to you with your PTQB block... :)
