But I love tea. I'm really loving the "Read My Lips" tea from DavidsTea. It's a Canadian company but you should be able to order items from their website! & every online order comes with a free sample! Also, you can drink any of their teas as ice tea. (Well, I suppose you can do that with any tea! Haha.)Holly Knitlightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403267201087602217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-88781626298169332812012-01-27T15:36:29.430-05:002012-01-27T15:36:29.430-05:00A rich early grey [with extra bergamot if you can ...A rich early grey [with extra bergamot if you can find it, I like Stash's and it's easily available] is a perfect transitional tea for coffee drinkers. Add in a little splash of cream or honey - or both :) - and it's pure heaven. <br /><br />Any kind of Rooibos is also nice, and I've never met a tea from Mighty Leaf that I didn't like. <br /><br />If you're ever in Salt Lake City there is the most wonderful little old-timey shop called The Beehive Tea Room that you would just love. My favorite there is the Beehive Honey and Cream tea and their Lavendar Earl Grey... Plus they make amazing chai and hot chocolate for the non-tea lovers among us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057334186168897356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-23933359576401941822012-01-27T13:14:38.384-05:002012-01-27T13:14:38.384-05:00You are not alone.

However, when my stomach gives me problems, I swear peppermint tea is the only thing that works. And I occasionally force myself to drink green tea since I hear it's so good for you. The only tea I can say that I enjoy is chai.

Nothing beats a warm teapot with it's belly full. Mine's milk and one sugar please! If you're feeling under the weather, have a cup of redbush/rooibos with a big dollop of honey. Starbucks in the UK do a fab vanilla rooibos. Caffeine free and quenching. Also, the best cups of tea are the unexpected ones that appear as if by magic on your desk or bedside table. They're my favourite I love yous. <br />Get well soon and happy tea adventures! :) xBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235597034582983202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-17604337820379410022012-01-26T00:03:10.888-05:002012-01-26T00:03:10.888-05:00I always burn my tongue with hot tea so I don'...I always burn my tongue with hot tea so I don't tend to drink it very often.
