I am obsessed with herbal tea. It’s delicious and good for you. Never underestimate the power of herbal tea.
Confession time. I am obsessed with herbal tea. I love it.
Does this make me an old lady? The fact that I love me a warm, steaming cup of herbal tea? And that I have a whole drawer full of different varieties…does that make me an old lady?
Are you sleepy? I got you.
Are you frazzled? I got you again.
Do you have cramps?
The sniffles?
How is your throat?
Does your stomach feel kinda yucky…it’ll take me just a minute to get you a cup of mint tea.
The chil’rens know if they are complaining of some type of ailment, I will make them some hot tea to drink way before I offer them some nasty-tasting medicine. All those years I was pregnant and couldn’t take any pain meds, herbal tea was my saving grace. I would drink red raspberry tea until I couldn’t stand the stuff and it tasted like grass to me. Once, I made Michael some St. John’s Wort tea…and I kicked in a few dropperfuls of St. John’s Wort extract for good measure…and it made him feel really strange and funky and he was mad at me, saying I was trying to poison him.
Heh. Not yet, buddy. I haven’t got my full use out of you.
So now I never underestimate the power of the herbal tea.
Paired with some delicious, local orange clover honey from the Farmer’s Market…mmmmmm. I can’t think of anything better to drink when all I have is a few moments to gather myself before it’s time to teach/clean/cook/discipline/shop etc. which is like all the time.
When people say they don’t like tea, I’m like, what? Is you crazy? Tea is delish!
So now you all know that I am a crazy tea bag lady with boxes stuffed in kitchen drawers. What about you? Does anyone out there share my love of tea? What is your favorite kind?
Hands down, my fave is Sleepytime and Honey Vanilla Chamomile. Oh…and Blueberry Breeze green tea…and peppermint tea, and….sigh, you get the picture.

Love the Refresh TAZO tea and Sleepytime bc my Granny used to make it for me. In fact, I will be partaking of some tea in about 4 minutes, 23 seconds.

I have a drawer full, too! I have tea bags, and even loose leaf tea, which is something I was introduced to recently. My fave has to be peppermint green tea, though.

I could swear you were in my kitchen. I also have a runaway Yerba Buena Plant outside my backdoor. Not only is it a wonderful Tea it also makes yummy tasting sugar.

I love the red/rooibos teas!! I think Celestial Seasonings has “Safari Spice”. So. Yummy.
Have you been to Teavana? It’s like Celestial Seasonings on crack. If I had a bazillion dollars, my kitchen would look like a Teavana store. Because I’d never cook again, and I’d have tea for every occasion.

Straight up… chamomille. It really does put me to sleep! Lately, however, I’ve been enjoying me some chai tea with french vanilla creamer.

I’m with ya’ll; I love any kind of tea. So, Denise, that definitely does not make you an old lady. You really need to visit Colorado for a tour of the Celestial Seasonings Factory in Boulder; you would absolutely love it there! As far as my absolute favorite, I say bring on the chai, baby!
