For my birthday last September the Goovers (and parents) bought me a box of tea. Yep. A box of tea. Now mind you within this HUGE box, there were several little boxes, each containing 20 tea bags. I have enough tea to last me the rest of the decade! A few Christmas' ago they bought me an electric tea maker, very similar to a four cup coffee maker, so I guess I'm all set.
Most of you know that I am a big coffee drinker. (understatement) I am also a snob when it comes to the kind of coffee I will drink. "Office" coffee will get me through in a pinch, but I don't like it. When I reach for that swill it's the caffeine I'm after, not the taste. I do enjoy tea also, but am not quite as snobby about it. When I'm not feeling well, nothing hits the spot like good old Lipton tea with some honey in it! I also live on Lipton iced tea in the summertime, and just like my coffee it's straight up. No sugar, but sometimes a slice of lemon. Homemade I might add, because I am not a fan of bottled/canned iced tea.
The best tea drink is when I add some UV Pink Lemonade(that would be vodka) to it....... I had some Opulent pink iced tea last night at Happy Hour, and I kept thinking "This would be soooooo good with iced tea in it!"
The tea the Goovers gave me is what I would call "snobby" tea. There are fabulous flavors. So far "Paris" is my favorite, followed closely by "Rubio Chai". No one has cared for "White Grapefruit." I wasn't surprised. Maybe I should have a tea party, although the Goovers wont drink it. Hmmmm an adult tea party? Unless there's alcohol that probably wont work.

I'll just keep plugging away at it, because it's a fabulous way to warm up on a cold night, and around here we have plenty of those, even in the middle of summer. Plus there's the added bonus of thinking of my Goovers every time I brew an aromatic cup, and that always makes me smile. ♥
