I love Nestea, and there is a kind I get, I can't remember the name, but it is raspberry flavored. It is so good. :)

I've never heard of anyone putting sand in their tea before! Eww yuck. But that reminds me of something that happened several years back. LOL

This has NOTHING to do with tea, but with coffee instead. When I was living in Evansville, my roommate's mother moved in with us for a while. Her name was Alice and she was in her late 80s at the time. I used to make coffee for her every morning. She had a health care service come each day to give her her baths and take her vital signs, etc. Anyway, one day Alice told the heath care worker that the coffee I made for her had drugs in them. This obviously alarmed the nurse, and later that day they sent the supervisor down to the house to find out what was going on. I told him I have NEVER put drugs in her coffee! I mean, the old lady could be very demanding and hateful sometimes, but I certainly didn't want to drug her. Come to find out, she was saying "dregs" or "drags", not drugs. In other words, sometimes my coffee had drags in them - coffee grounds. But the way she was pronouncing it, it sounded like "drugs" to the nurse. And she was right. Sometimes that automatic coffee maker would "flip" the filter, and fold it over when the water started pouring in it. If this happened, some of the coffee grounds would enter the pot and the coffee would have drags in it.  :P

Drugs in her coffee. Good lord.  ::)

I drink Celestial Seasoning mint tea to calm my stomach in the early eveings usually. I like Earl Grey tea too, but it doesnt have a perfume smell or taste to me.... Later when its getting towards bedtime I drink Sleepy Time tea with extra Valerian Root to help me sleep.  It really works to!  I like my hot tea with honey.   I usually order "sweet" tea when we go out.   Its ice tea with sugar already made and lots of ice.  Yum. oops I mean mmmmm.

If you decide to make it Marie, let me know how it turns out, okay? :)



I did make it David - luckily we had lots of sun this weekend. I added some mint leaves and it turned out great!    :)

I am unfamiliar with the lah de dah or effete vibe from drinking tea.  Now high tea where the cream scones are brought on a silver plate are another matter.

I love Early Grey, and I love the smell of bergamot (which is a flower, BTW).  I tend to drink that, or one of a few Traditional Medicinals brand.  Our neighbor next door had a new shed built this week, and invited Mini-Meno and me over for a tiny tea party in the shed, before she starts filling it with lawn mower, etc.  I wanted to make iced mint tea, but found I'd run out, so made "Breathe Easy" tea instead.  It got lots of compliments.  :)

Bumping for bump-fest!!  And because tea is a hot topic at the moment here in Polling Place.

If you've voted here before, you're free to change your vote if you feel like it.

Same as before, my favourite teas are still Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea and Ceylon Orange Pekoe Tea. I've added a new one since then. I am now very fond of Twining's Traditional Afternoon Tea.  :D
