Recently Tim and I have been leaning in to teas. . . more Tim than I. He has always had an interested in them due to Kevin Rose on Digg. For our 5 year anniversary I went to Teavana in the mall and got him the perfect tea maker along with some flavored tea. A mix of Hazelnut Dolce rooibos tea and MartVana herbal tea,its a good mix but I recommend it on a cold rainy day. We got burned out the tea fast in the middle of summer. We liked the “perfect tea maker”even though the easy cleaning is not so easy.
We got up the courage to buy something at Lupica,also a lose tea store in the mall . We had been in many times but never got anything,we would just stand in aww at it all,with the occasional droll showing.
To say the least we can’t seem to stop drink tea. There is no such thing as coffee anymore. We even picked up an electrical water kettle and we go through 5 gallons of water so fast!
Our first purchases from Lupicia were:
Matcha Kirara Rice Tea –perfect breakfast tea,matcha give an extra boost,the rice give it nice favor,good hot or cold. A fav! We are already on our 3rd bag.
Strawberry –made with black tea,just recently found out it is much better cold than hot,not a favorite,but we’ll drink it
Golden Honey Dew- with rooibos (red tea),sweet ,decaffeinated (evening tea). My personal favorite so far. Smells oh so good.
Ah,tea is so rad. I don’t drink coffee very much cuz tea is so much better! The matcha rice tea is really good,I used to drink it all the time at my old work. I went to the NorCal Pirate Festival earlier this year and bought this can of Tropicana black tea leaves and it is so fragrant and delicious. I really should try out different kinds of tea,but I always fall back on traditional Japanese teas.
