I drink cold sweet tea...but I love hot flavored teas...especially Peach. I just love hot tea, got razzed a lot about it in high school. A friend told everybody that I drank hot tea like old folks, that and being Apache ancestry...

I've heard it all...sitting in yer T-P sipping on yer hot T
Sharpenin up the tomahawk sittin in the TP drinking up the hot T...

Too bad it was against the law in this state to shoot an arrow in their ASSinine attitudes. lol

I've heard the pros and cons. Some say that because it boosts the immune system, it's not good for us. But I've also heard it boosts energy levels for us and gives us a good source of anti oxidants as well.

Meanwhile, it's one of the few teas that my neuro says is ok for me to drink. Kinda like coffee - the on again, off again, is it good for us question.

I quit coffee for a month at my dentist's suggestion.

Let's just say... I was much better as a coffee drinker than a non-coffee drinker LOL!

I drink tea also. Don't laugh but I get mine at the dollar store or Whole Foods and there is one brand at the dollar store that is my absolute favorite.

I wouldn't laugh at you for this. I think it's very smart. I love when I can find a bargain on something I like!

Dollar store...Dollar Tree...hey, my favorite places...they have the best scrapbooking supplies. I find coffee and tea for less than the grocery stores and its the same brand most times.

I regress, sorry...my family calls me the Dollar Queen!! They didn't laugh when I paid for the vacation...guess those dollars saved!!

Jules...you are a very smart shopper!!

Teas...I also love rasberry, mango, lemon...

I was raised on iced sweet tea, but my yankee husband converted me to unsweetened. Now my mom's tea tastes like syrup! In the summer I make regular iced tea and add one tea bag of Peach Passion as I brew - it makes yummy unsweetened peach tea! In cooler weather, I like a cuppa in the afternoon. I've always wanted to experience an English high tea. I drink Twining's English Breakfast tea, Earl Grey, or Lady Grey.
