Do You Care For Tea?




 Mad Hatter: "Do you care for tea?
Alice:  "Why, yes.  I'm very fond of tea."


The cooler weather has descended upon us and I start drinking tea a lot more. Three out of the five us in our family love tea. We drink it almost daily. I have discovered a new favorite that I've got to share with you.

Good Earth Original herb tea.

Man this stuff is good. You've got to try it.  I love sweets and I almost always add a tiny bit of sugar to my tea. But not this one. (well, actually I do. keep reading.) The blend of cinnamon and other spices creates this remarkable tea that is not too spicy as in "whoa, hold off on the chili powder" and it's not too sweet. I love Oregon Chai Tea. But it has become increasingly difficult to find their herbal blend. I don't have to look any further.  I plop my Good Earth tea bag in a steaming mug of hot water and let it steep for several minutes so that it gets really strong. I like strong tea. Then I add a splash of vanilla flavored coffee creamer (this has the sugar). Oh my, delish! You have created your own spicy chai tea to enjoy. It's so good and now we are going through the boxes of these like crazy because all three of us tea drinkers are having at least one mug of it a day. Each tea bag comes with a little inspirational quote to enlighten your day. Doesn't that make you feel good?


But the best part?  It's herbal!
Good Earth, I love you.

You know I am a convert. So before I drank the real deal tea and LOVED it. Yes it was worth giving up but sometimes I miss the yumminess! My favorite way was the english way. Tea with cream and sugar. So I"m very excited to try this. Thanks for the reocmend.

I just started drinking tea this year when I had strep throat for the third time. I tried peppermint tea, but since then I've branched out to a couple other flavors. I love that they are tasty and no calorie. I'll have to try adding some creamer - I never thought of that!
