Hot Tea

is a new favorite drink of mine. i am just beginning to enjoy it:)


today is rainnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyy. i am sure that we need it. its one of those rainy days where you could stay in bed all afternoon and read, nap, read, nap, eat, read, nap, watch dvr, journal, journal, journal....



ya know, one of those...

however, that is not reality and one must go to work.





so in order to get myself going, and warm, i am currently drinking English Breakfast Black Tea.


English Breakfast tea is a black tea blend usually described as full-bodied, robust, and/or rich, and blended to go well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty English breakfast. It is the most common style of tea in Britain.
The black teas included in the blend vary, with Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas predominating, and Keemun included in more expensive blends. Common brands of English Breakfast tea (which do not always include the term itself in the branding) include Ty·phoo, PG Tips, Twinings, Tetley, Taylors of Harrogate, and Dilmah, as well as many own brands.


another one of my favorites is Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit.


i will have to say that i like this better than the breakfast tea. it is less bitter and has a tiny bit of sweet to it. i guess that is the hint of bergamont orange found in this tea.

well i will keep you posted on new favorite flavors. i want to try lady grey next.

stay dry!!
