MIGHTY LEAF Aloe Serenity

 

 

I bought a 6 pack of tea.....there are small trial tins.  A great way to taste a bunch of different teas with out spending a lot of money.

okay- I've said it in the past, and I will say it again.  We all have DIFFERENT taste buds.  I did not care of this tea.  I let Dawn from work try it, and she did not care for it.  But, then I let my friend Marci try it and she loved it!  So, if you once tried a tea and you did not like it, that does NOT mean you do not like tea...that just means you did not like that particular tea.  Keep trying a variety of teas.  It is fun to try new teas. You will eventually find the kind you like, you will actually probably find a lot that you like.

For some reason I was not a fan of this tea.  It was not very strong and I just found it kind of plain. Maybe someone else will love the flavors, but I don't plan on having this tea again.

Steve Smith Teamaker

Last April I visited my sitter in Vancouver and we visited Steve Smith Teamaker and I fell in love!!!  So, when I came back again this year from Ohio, I asked to go again.

The building and the area is to quaint, I just love it!!  Last year we met Steve, not so this year, but it was still a great experience.

While looking around and drinking our tea, we could watch them make the tea, that was fun to see.

I did a Tea Flight for $8.00.  That is s sampling of 4 teas.    Jasmine Pearl, Meadow, Hibiscus Flower, and Masala Chai

I love how they serve their Flight.  They give you a card about each tea telling you about the region and the ingredients.  They also show you the dry tea.

My favorite was the Masala Chai- they make it in latte form with milk and sugar.  I got soy milk.  My next favorite was the Jasmine Pearls.  It was really good and light.  I bought some loose to take home.  They recommended "soaking" the tea for a little bit to let the pearls open up, before you make your first cup.  Then when you drink your first cup you get more flavor.  Next I liked the Meadow tea.  It had a stronger taste of Chamomile then of any other flowers in it, but I still liked it.  My least favorite was the "Hibiscus Flowers- just to tart.

My sister got a single pot of tea for $3.00. She tried Brahmin.  She thought it was very good.  She likes her teas black with milk.

The Hibiscus Flower was VERY tart.  I think I will stick with Big Hibiscus, it does not seem as tart.



 

You can purchase teas, t-shirts, tea pots, tea cups, etc.

TEA shampoo and conditioner

Is this a sign I am too into teas??

Tea shampoo and conditioner - love the Trade Joe brand!

http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=1241

A product of the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia tree that's native to Australia, tea tree oil has long been used as a medicine to treat everything from coughs and colds to wounds and skin ailments. It's also known for its fresh scent that falls somewhere between eucalyptus and mint. At Trader Joe's, we've highlighted this essential oil in our line of Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle bath & body products: Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash.
All of these refreshing products are made for us with organic botanicals, including tea tree oil, peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, and thyme. Their scent is energizing, and their effect on your hair and skin is rejuvenating. The Body Wash will impart a fresh, clean feeling to your skin; the Shampoo adeptly cleans away residue from styling products; and the Conditioner smoothes your hair and helps repair damage from sun and heat. These are salon-caliber formulas that sell for significantly more in other labels. At Trader Joe's, each of our Tea Tree Tingle bath & body products comes in a 16 ounce bottle for the excellent everyday value of $3.99. Makes us feel all tingly…

 

work out drink....wht tea of course!!!

 I lost 50 pounds over the past 3 years, but I have put 20 of that back on....so I am trying to loose that 20 and another 10.  So, I decided to join a local gym.  It is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I am loving it.  Never thought I would say that about a gym!!!  I still hate running, but I do like the gym.

Rooibos teas like green teas can be hit or miss for me.  This one was a miss.  It has too much of a "medicine" taste.  Reminds me of the old time Listerine that my Uncle Rog used to use!  (Sorry Rog)

You can see that this tea has a red tint to it.  Rooibos teas often had that red look.  I passed this tea on to my friend Marci.  I thought maybe she might like it.  You never know, since we all have different taste buds.

Get ready for Spring.....

Looking for a place to enjoy a cup of tea....think about an old claw foot tub.  I would love to have a real one in my house, but I would eve settle for this kind of tub in my yard!!  Relaxing while enjoying a cup of tea!!!

I love this idea for old tea cups.  I am even learning to make the stamped spoons.  Very clever.
