A new world of tea

I’ve become quite a fan of the Republic of Tea in the past couple of years, and their s’mores and chocolate coconut are my favorites. They have so many more great flavors, though. I also love Bigelow’s cinnamon stick and vanilla caramel teas.

I rarely have tea and don't have any particular preference. It would be fun to try the different ones on the calendar.

I wonder how long those teas last. I have a half opened tea advent calendar from a couple of years ago I never finished. I’m not much of a tea person, but some are delicious.

So are you having teas with milk, or herbal teas? Darjeeling Tea is exported a lot from India to other countries. Within India, genuine Darjeeling Tea has lesser availability. Plus they are of quite a high price ! What we normally get at reasonable prices is CTC - Crushed, tear, Crushed. Kind of with Tea dust as prominent. Some have added herbs or condiments like Ginger, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ashwagandha (a herb) and more. Turmeric spiced Tea and Coffees are getting more popular here as well. My favorite brand is Red Label Natural Care and Tata Tea.

My husband also likes Darjeeling tea, it's the one I buy for him. I cannot say that I like tea, if I am sick I can sip a little Darjeeling or Earl Grey.

I used to drink an herbal tea every night with a toasted bagel. I haven't had tea in a long time. Hubby bought a zillion boxes of different kinds. I've given a lot to cousin #2. It's been so cold that I should have her make me a cup of tea.

I like Bigelow's English Tea Time black tea. I also like green tea.
