A Few of my Favourite Things Series #6:   Tea

Even though I now drink tea, coffee, and an assortment of various other warm bev’s I find mself gravitating towards tea just because it really is my safe place.  For example in the morning I would rather a breakfast tea than orange juice, and after a childhood like mine where oj was ingrained in my morning routine that’s a big change.  As for my favourite tea of all time, it really does depend.

English Breakfast—

It’s just that taste of warm, morning, comfort tea that makes it easier to wake up, study, read, go to sleep, talk with people I don’t know it is the asiest tea to drink at any time of the day because it really does encompass the ultimate comfort.  Always with a little milk and leave the tea bag in, though.

Apple anything—

I would drink apple tea until the cows come home, it really is the best tea on a moving day.  If I am having a tea with a group of people or on a day when I know I will be carrying it somewhere I will get apple tea.  It’s my carrying tea, and I’m not sure why but it just instills this comfort while on-the-go that really helps me.  I believe it is caffeinated as well, so before my coffee-drinking-phase began in Italy this tea aided as the keep-me-up tea.  IT’s also the epitome of Christmas tea.

Blueberry Tea—

Not the alcoholic kind, but just plain blueberry flavoured tea with a bit of milk is my favourite tea date tea, what to drink during intimate conversations or really just a casual day.  IT’s also a good study tea, because it’s just enough flavour to keep you going but not enough to distract you. 

Darjeeling—

This is the tea I drink most at home I believe and for some reason I associate it with watching television or hbo, so all of my sexy shows are watched with this tea.  Does it say something about the shows themselves?  You tell me.  I don’t really think so.  It’s just a great tea.

Green Tea, Decaf—

My remedy for not sleeping is always green tea.  I think that’s just self explanatory, or I’m tired of explaining why tea is great.

Peppermint—

My favourite on any occaision ever.  It settles tummies, it’s Christmas-y, it’s minty and wake-me-up, it’s delicious, it’s great for you, and it is usually available anywhere. That’s the thing about some tea’s they’re only offered in some certain places, but peppermint tea is very universal.

And those are my tea’s, or the ones I can think of, the most important ones that I drink at least.
