This is a page dedicated to a passion of
mine-TEA. On any given day, I've had somewhere between 2-8 cups of
tea. I have so many different kinds right now that I can't fit them all
into one kitchen cupboard. They've overflowed onto the counter by the sink
and the big pantry storage closet as well as filling the cupboard. I
prefer black tea, but also love green and oolong teas. I'm not so fond of
herbal blends but I drink them anyway because I caffeine keeps me awake at night
if I drink it past 5pm or so.
I would like to take this oppourtunity to dispel a common myth that I come
across very often. Green tea is NOT the most caffeinated kind of
tea. Black teas have the highest caffeine content, with oolongs next, then
green and then herbal teas (which are caffeine free). For some reason I
keep running into people who think that green tea is like the Jolt of the tea
world.
I highly recommend this product from Bodum...if
you aren't drinking loose tea then you don't know what you're missing!
It's so much better than bagged tea.
Anyway, below are some links to my favourite tea-related companies. I have
yet to order tea online but these are brands I buy in local stores or have had
highly recommended to me. Enjoy!
