For love of tea

Starbucks for a while now and love it. I like it *way* more than any of the coffee drinks they serve. We just got a new Keurig cup brewer in my office. Next to it are four boxes – Sumatra, GJ Specail Blend, French Vanilla, and English Breakfast. The English Breakfast is tea. Hmm… easy enough, I thought. So I started having it. The first cup I made, I had four packets of sweatener. Yuck! It was like drinking CANDY. I tried a cup with only two – much better, and one – not so good. So now I’ve been substituting some of my daily soda intake with nice hot cups of English Breakfast Tea. It’s quite yummy. It’s not nearly as much caffeine as coffee or soda, but that’s a good thing. I need to cut back again anyway. I did try a Green Tea Latte at starbucks the other day. That is even yummier than their Chai Latte, but has an interesting fruity back-taste to it (on the back of the tongue). It’s a bit weird, but tastier than the Chai. I think I’ve found my new drink from that store. I haven’t quite gotten the hang of unsweetened tea yet. Still too much vegetable matter taste to it. I’d like to start drinking iced teas, but the mass-produced sweetened stuff is just way too sweet, and this stuff I’m drinking at work just doesn’t taste right when it’s cold. I did find a small wiki sheet here about Tea. Very rudimentary, but perfect for a beginner. I’ve still got a ways to go yet before I become a tea aficionado, but I’m trying. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
