I just bought some of Revolution Tea’s Organic Scottish Breakfast Tea (it’s about halfway down the page I’ve linked to) – I shouldn’t have, since a package from Twinings is on its way, but the packaging is so nice and it’s in those little pyramid-style tea bags. And hey, Scottish breakfast tea? Never hear of it. Might as well give it a shot.
15 tea bags for $10 – a little pricey, but it gives me something to look forward to trying in the morning.
Evaluating my tea stash today . . . this is the list of what I would ideally always have in the house.
1) Tazo Om. It used to be my favorite. I still really like it but don’t know if it’s my favorite now.
2) English Breakfast tea.
3) Something else black. Earl Grey probably.
4) A green tea, preferably with jasmine
5) Something herbal, maybe peppermint.
6) Something foofy, like the nice teas my sister buys me.
I’m alternating daily between Tazo Om (blended green and black tea plus peach and cucumber) and Twinings Earl Gray. For me, these two represent the height of grocery-store-level teas, and about as good as I can do on my budget if I don’t want guilt issues. I’m always excited to find Om in stores; realizing that Long’s Drugs sold both it and Twinings made me extremely happy.
Photos galore today. I received a belated Christmas package from my sister in the mail. Among other things, it contained a beautiful loose leaf green tea. With flowers in it. I feel like flowers in my cup SHOULD weird me out but the colors are so nice that I really don’t mine.
