Tea Freak

I know a lot of coffee junkies. The kind of people that don’t consider themselves awake or even alive until after their second cup. I don’t get it. I have had a damn fine cup of joe and still prefer tea.

Being in the south sweet tea is the king but also not for me. I do enjoy a ice cold glass of unsweetened tea, with no lemon please. The only time I use Splenda is if I am out and the tea is, for the lack of a better word, stale.

I love herbal teas, flavored teas, loose tea, plain old pekoe. Iced, hot … it is all good.

We have a shop here called “A Southern Season” … you know a lot of girls go crazy over a new pair of shoes — this shop allows me to get that crazy over tea!

You have your choice of boxed tea – Lipton, Republic of Tea, Tazo and so on. But the real find are the loose teas. Nothing better than taking a nice black tea and mixing it with something light and fruity to come out with the best glass or cup of tea you’ve had in a while. Cherry and Black make a nice afternoon snack tea. Orange and Pekoe is good for a wake up.

White teas are nice dessert or hot summer day teas. Red tea makes a great tea “espresso”.

What kind of tea do you like?
