Lipton Spice Chai



Not sure why this is sideways!  But anyway, I liked this tea.  I added milk and I thought it was pretty good for a bagged Chai tea.  The tasts were not super bold, but they were still good.

Spiced Cinnamon Chai Black Tea

Spice up your day with this bold black tea blended with a kick of cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. 



Lipton Orange at Beulah Beach Camp and Retreat Center



Memorial Weekend at Beulah Beach!
 I love love love Beulah Beach.  I have been coming up here for over 40 years.  I grew up coming with my parents.  It is our church camp- Christian & Missionary Alliance.  I went to camp here from the age of 8-17.  Then from 18- to mid 30's I was a camp counselor.  I even lived up here for year, working as the guest service coordinator.  I just love this place.   When I was around the age of 8 I went forward during a Bible Missionary Conference and committed my life to Christian Service.  I did not know where that would take me, and I did not care, I just wanted to proclaim that I would serve Him!  This place holds a special place in my heart, I have a passion for the ministry here.

Memorial Weekend they had their 6th Annual Benefit Auction to raise money for the camp.  They raised over $100k- praise God.

MY SIDE NOTE:
A friend from work gave me some of this tea to try.  I did not care for it.  I think it was the licorice root that I tasted.  It is again funny how we all have different taste buds, because she loves this tea.  So, if you are a fan of licorice root- I recommend this tea for you!
