Tea

I grew up not liking tea... Now I'm a bit of tea granny ;). I still don't like black tea however I do like herbal tea and recently starting drinking green tea.

I recently learned that January is Hot Tea Month in Canada! I had no idea!

Canadian Mental Health Association - Hot Tea Month

Tea Association of Canada

A couple of years ago my husband got me a teapot for Christmas as I had just started getting into loose tea. I had been drinking herbal tea for awhile but the idea of a 'pot of tea' using loose tea leaves was tickling my fancy. I wanted a cast iron one with a teapot warmer (sshh)... Can't use the warmers with the ceramic teapots. Hubby got me a ceramic teapot. I have grown to love it and even knitted a tea cozy for it once.

I have mild insomnia so I have tried my best to limit caffeine to morning hours only. To bad green tea has caffeine!

I first started getting herbal tea from Mighty Leaf Tea.

Now it's a combination of my local grocery store and Teavana

I would have to say the smell alone of loose tea can be heavenly! Peach Tranquility, Dragonfruit, Passion Berry and Strawberry Cream to name a few. Sometimes my son will drink it with me! The whole idea of sharing a pot of tea with someone has a cozy feeling.

So whether it's a pot of tea or single serving tea bags of tea it is a nightly ritual (with our vitamins). Black tea for my husband. Herbal for me.
