I love tea. I have created this page to discuss all things tea. Camellia Sinensis -Black, Oolong (Wulong), Green (Matcha, Sencha, Gun Powder, Genmaicha, Gyokuro), White, Yellow, Purple, Pu-erh, Chai, Blooming, and Kombucha. Also, Mate, Rooibos, Honeybush, Herbal, and Tisane Teas. Loose leaf/bagged/powered/instant. Iced/hot tea. Tea infusers/strainers, tea kettles, tea timers, tea pots/cups, steeping times, tea goodies, tea houses, and more! Do you share my passion of tea?
Here is some tea from my homeland!!!! My family is from Grindlewald...and now I have some tea from there :)
This tea smells really good. There is a rooibos tea taste, but it is not overly strong. It is a nice tea. And even more fun because it is from Grindlewald, Switzerland. I would say what I taste most is the chamomile, rooibos, and fennel. I am sure those in US are not going to run over to Switzerland and buy this tea, but if you live near by and want to try, let me know! I'd gladly have you over for some tea!
See how they put it on the screen and the receipt? I realize I am not the only high maintenance person asking for half and half and light ice. :) Enough people ask that they are prepared for it!!
I decided to try the regular $1.00 tea at McDonald's. I do it half sweet half regular and light ice. I ordered that and the peach tea. The peach tea is a $1.19, it was good. But, I do prefer the regular tea.
This decadent dessert tea has the homemade flavors of vanilla sponge cake drizzled with rich caramel sauce. The full-bodied base of premium black tea lends itself well to a splash of milk, making it a perfect afternoon tea to partner with puddings, scones and shortbread.
Caffeine:
Black Tea has less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee.
Steeping Instructions
Steeping black tea is easy. Simply heat fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil. Then pour water over tea and steep for 3-5 minutes if using a tea bag or full-leaf.
Ingredients
Black tea, sweet blackberry leaves, carob bits, natural caramel and vanilla flavor

I took my nephews to Petco on Saturday night to find a fish. We were hoping to each pick out a small fish and put them together, but found out that I had to have a heated tank to get the fish we wanted. So we settled on a Beta.
Kyle, the tiger, had been to the Smucker's Jelly Jamboree...we were afraid that the pet store may keep him- hahaha
The boys easily settled on this Male, Double tailed Beta
I was soooo excited to get a package from my friend, Carma, in Toulouse France!!! She sent me some tea from Paris! I have no idea what it is- but it smells and tastes wonderful!
A flavoured tea made from Chinese tea, rhubarb and wild strawberry flavours.
This blend of black teas sourced from ceylon and China flavoured with rhubareb and wild strawberry, and scattered with cornflowers petals lends a fruity note to the infusion. It can be savoured iced too.
Brewing time: 4 to 5 minutes
Ingredients: black tea, rhurbarb and wild strawberry flavors, flower petals
Net weight: 3,52 oz
I can tell it is a black tea and that it has strawberries in it, but beside that I am not sure....
This tea is great!! And it makes me think of my friends in France, who I miss almost daily!
I was going through a scrap book and found these photos, I could not find any others, just these. But, I do remember in 2009 I helped put on a Tea for Rely for Life. My mom left the ladies borrow tea sets and things so that they could put on this tea. I wish I could remember how many people showed up or how much was raised, yet I can't remember. I do remember it being a lot of fun working with the ladies and serving and making the food!
Scones (and donuts) so good that you can't eat just one!! You should, but you can't!!! The office supplied these the other day and they were amazing!!! Grab a cup of tea and before you know it the scone is gone! Scones and tea are the best!
I went to one of my favorite salvage stores and hoped to find tea. This store is on the Kidron Road between Kidron and Mt Hope
They were a low on tea the day I was there. These shelves usually have lots of different kinds of tea and coffee, drinks.
If in the area you need to stop at the salvage store- they have all kinds of fun things there.
Then once you are there, you need to go to Lehman's Hardware!!!
Here I am at Lehman's Hardware... I am a little biased on how great this is, because Jay is my uncle, my mom's brother. My dad has worked here for over 35 years, and I worked here for approximately 9 years. They have a nice selection of tea too :)

Okay, I have to admit my first taste of this tea and I thought it was not good. But, I tried again and then I thought, this is kind of good. I think it is an acquired taste. I ended up really liking it!!!
I drank this tea with the basil Chicken and it was soooo good. I recommend this restaurant in Wooster. It is at the bottom of Hamburger Hill- for you locals....you will know where that is :)
