Ship Tea Camomile Tea

I was staying at the Gran Cervantes Hotel Torremolinos Spain while on a missions trip.  They had Ship Te that was very nice.

Las Mercedes, s/n, 29620 Torremolinos, Málaga, Málaga, Spain
+34 952 38 40 33


Again, I looked and I could not find anything out about this tea.  I assume it is a "hotel" brand.

I loved their coffee/tea/hot water/hot milk/cold milk machine!!!!  It was so fun to make tea with theis machine.




Cammomile tea was nice.  I even brought some packets home with me.


It was good tea, but how can you not enjoy tea when you are in Spain!!!!

Higgins & Burke Jasmine Tea

My friend Melanie got me this beautiful tea cup for Christmas.  I love it...it fits a lot of tea in it :)  I tried Higgins & Burke Jasmine Tea the other day at work.  It is good.  It is maybe not a favorite as far as Jasmine flavors go, but it is still very good.  I think that if you like green tea you will really like this, because I think it is stronger green tea.  I am not a huge green tea fan, I like the Jasmine flavor to be stronger than the green tea....if that makes sense.

Jasmine

An ancient tea blend of fragrant Jasmine flowers that are picked during the day and laid onto premium, pan-fired green tea leaves which absorb the scent as the blossoms open at dusk. The result is a fresh green character, floral aroma and intoxicating flavour that will captivate your senses.

Ingredients

Premium Hyson green tea, jasmine flowers.

TEALIGHTFUL Royal Tea

I may have blogged about this tea before, but here I go again....
I like this dark, rich, black tea.  I think if you like coffee, you may like this tea.  It is almost too "dark and rich" for me.  But, then I add the milk and I find it is perfect.  I used my new cup that I recieved as a Christmas gift from an attorney I use at work.
I like the big oversized mugs, because I can fill the cup of with tea and there is still enough room for milk...as you can even see if the photo that there is still a lot of room left in this travel mug. 

These are my new favorite cookies that I like to eat with my tea.  I got these cookies at Aldi's.  It is a spiced cookie.  So yummy!!!!

Tea Caddy

 
here is the tea caddy my dad made Robin for Christmas per my request.  let me know if you would like to order one.  they are really fun.  I made one row white tea bags, one row black tea bags, and so on.  my friend Melanie said she might use one for jewelry.  Dad originally made it to carry seed packets in, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I "needed" one for tea packets ;)  

Tea Forte tea pot and Cherry Cosmo

look at the fun Christmas gifts I received from my friend Robin.
 


 
Ingredients organic rosehips, organic hibiscus, organic apple pieces, organic raspberries, natural cherry flavor, other natural flavoring (berry)



it was so fun to use my tea pot at work today. 
The teapot kept the tea warm, plus it is super cute!!

I was not sure what I would think of the Cherry Cosmo...sometimes cherry tea can taste like cough syrup.  But not this one!!  I really like it.  I think it might be the hibiscus in the tea.  I am a fan of hibiscus.  Robin did a good job picking this tea out.

how beautiful!!!

sweater ornaments

 
I decided to have an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party for the single girls and
I at church.  I thought I would make favors for my party.  So, I started making these ugly sweater Christmas ornaments,  And then I could not stop making these sweaters.  I started making the sweaters bigger and getting creative.  I also made the hangers that the sweaters are on out of paper clips.

 
I made my favorite animal on one sweater..the moose. 

 
I then decided to put a tea cup on the sweater  I must admit I loved the way they turned out.   






 
have fun and get creative!!

Hotel Cervantes tea, Black SHIP TEA


I went with a group to Torremolinos Spain for a mission trip.  We stayed at the Grand Hotel Cervantes.  I have to say that they had the coolest coffee, tea, hot water, hot milk, cold milk, and coco maker EVER!!!!  The machine did it all, you just pushed the button of what you wanted to drink.


 
The cups were small. So, I would get 3 cups.  I would pour half the hot water in the empty cup and leave the other water in the cup.  Then I would get a cup of hot milk and pour that between the two cups with hot water.  The had SHIP tea, which I had never heard of before.  But, it was very nice.

I made mom some black tea and she gave it thumbs up.  They did not have tea in the evening - which was a disappointing.  But, in the "bar" area they had tea, so I could get some before bed.



Thumbs up for Ship tea!!  I looked on line for the tea, and I can not find it.  I am thinking it is a hotel/restaurant tea company, not something readily available to the public


I was so glad that I was able to go to Spain, and even happier to go to Spain with my mom.  What a blessing!!!!!


Arby's Peach Iced Tea




Usually I am a fan of peach iced tea.  Give me Peach Snapple, Smith's Peach Iced Tea, Lipton Iced Tea (in Europe), or Pure Leaf Peach Tea.  But this Brisk Iced Tea was awful.  It had that "fake" sugar in it.  I had to throw it out and so with root beer.  Why mess up tea with fake sugar.  That stuff is not not good for you either! 
So, I now know that Burger King and Arby's Peach Iced Teas are ones to avoid!    I guess next time I will just go with the free water.
