Hot Tea Tickles My Fancy


I am a tea drinker.  I have never been a coffee drinker.  It's not for lack of trying though.  I've tried it every which way and I just don't like it.  If it tasted as good as it smells, I would be an addict!  Tea, on the other hand, is my hot drink addiction.  


These are my current favorites.  The chocolate mint tea is a perfect blend of sweet peppermint with a hint of chocolate.  It's my favorite tea for relaxing in the afternoon.  The Chai tea is the best one I have found.  It has just the right amount of spice and is the only tea I add milk to.  When I'm craving something sweet, I've found the peppermint to satisfy my craving if I make it slightly sweeter than usual.  I'm not much of a fruity tea fan, but the mango and peach white tea is the exception.  Not only is it full of fruity flavor, the aroma is heavenly.  When you come by to spend the afternoon, you can bet I'll offer you a cup of tea!

What is your favorite hot drink?

I'm joining Sarah at Yes, Teacher for Tickle Me Tuesdays.

  1. I'm a coffee drinker in the morning. Afternoon I become a tea drinker. By evening I make the switch to decaf. tea. There's something about a good cup of tea in a pretty tea cup that is so comforting!

  5. I love coffee but had to quit drinking it about 3 months ago (stirring up the old ulcers). Since then it has been decaf tea. I'm not into fruity teas though. I love peppermint, mint and just plain old tea. And i want both coffee and tea straight and black.

    I'll be by this afternoon after sewing for a cup of tea.

    Hugs - Marie

  7. I am a fanatical coffee drinker..rich and strong. Love my flavored creamers and hate drinking from plastic or styrofoam. I love using my china teacups, makes me feel so ....English!

    My favorite tea is Earl Grey and Constant Comment. Herbal teas tend to be too weak for my taste.

    I have very fond memories of my mother feeding me tea and toast when I stayed home sick from school.

  10. I don't drink coffee or tea. I do love the smell of coffee, but it doesn't agree with my tummy. I like hot chocolate, though I don't drink it often either. Guess I prefer my beverages cold.

  14. I'm a pretty heavy duty coffee drinker: strong and black (except Irish cream once in a while or the yummy holiday flavored creamers during the holidays). I stop drinking coffee at noon, though, or pay the price come bedtime. I drink a lot of SUN tea but rarely do I have a cuppa tea. I wish I were a tea drinker; it seems more refined and special ... especially out of beautiful cups like yours.
