Hello!- November 8, 2010

I decided today that I would join the blogging world. And I thought what I might blog about. And I thought "Ah! Tea of course!"

Since high school I have been delving into the tea lover's world. I originally tried only black teas, preferring the bold flavor of a Lipton (iced or hot).

Upon entering college I met a tea lover: enter Ariel Estebez. She introduced me into a world of tea I had never experienced before. And I had my first cup of Irish Breakfast, and I was hooked.

Today, I am proud to say my husband and I own over 40 types of teas. Ranging from loose leaf to traditional bags.

We have chais, greens, whites, herbals, and blacks and I never get sick of them. Well...most of the time I don't anyway.

So for this blog, I will let you know what type of tea we are having today. If I like it or not. Where you can buy it, etc.

I might also throw in a little about my passion for cooking. I am a foodie. Although a vegetarian foodie. But I promise you I don't eat salad for dinner every night! Actually, I only eat salad as a small side to my fabulously prepared meal :)

So now for tea time:

Tea: Vanilla and Cinnamon Black Tea
Like?: Absolutely. So delicious.
Where to buy: Trader Joes, $1.99
Grade: A

My favorite tea is black tea. So pretty much any combination of black tea is good to me. I like this tea for several reasons.

1. It's only $1.99!!! That says enough
2. I love vanilla.
3. Cinnamon is tasty too.

This tea has a subtle taste and give you a very wintery warm feeling. You always taste the vanilla but the cinnamon i s a little more subtle. Oxymoron, I think not. It was a crisp 40 something degrees this morning and I anticipated upon selecting the morning's tea last night that it would be so. This is a perfect tea for warming you on a crisp morning. I am sitting down with my second cup now.

And for dinner...
Unfortunately, tonight's dinner will consist of a cheese sandwich since I have class :( boo.
