Circle of Tea

So, I'm a little early but here is this fortnight's featured tea we're "circulating." Please post, if you can, when you try it....I'm excited to read your responses!

Peach DeTox is made by Yogi Teas. Their website is really quite beautiful and gives you all the info you need from ingredients to nutritional info to brewing instructions. I highly suggest using 10 minutes brew time, especially at high altitudes. If you need your tea scalding, use two bags as suggested by Yogi.

I first discovered this tea through a friend (okay, ex-boyfriend) when they gave me some of the Yogi Detox (just Detox). Imagine my surprise to taste.....pepper! But it isn't what you think, even after reading the ingredients in Peach DeTox. I can't speak for the detoxification itself, as I eat horribly, but I 'd like to think I feel better after a week's worth.

Another great quality to this tea is its availability. I purchased my latest batch at Winn Dixie of all places - and not over in the organic and health food section, but over by powdered Gatorade, which I also like, diluted. I, however, like Yogi Peach DeTox concentrated. I like having a chance to experience all of its ingredients in turn. I like being able to play a delicious guessing game of unusual and familiar, full bodied but not with an overwhelming herbal (eg. mints) or black tea that brews faster than its compliments.

I give this tea 4 CUPS out of 5.

Yogi Peach Detox is like a wine - it changes throughout the experience of one sip. Enjoy several on me. xxoo

I am about to have some Decaf Constant Comment, to the horrors of teaonista everywhere (one who looks down on common teas)

I need that spicy lovin'



Gimme a shout out is this is a childhood staple as it was mine.

Hello Sweet Sweet Teabies :)

I've been on the back burner (hehe) for a bit but thought it about time I throw in a few goodies for the pot.

What better way to start than to share some of the many swoon worthy pieces I've bought from Etsy Sellers over the past few years! You can click on each photo and it will take you directly to their respective shops!















And you know what's coming up soon, don't you? ICED tea season :) Mmmm....

I was at a grocery today, buying tea, of course.
I was thinking about our new group and thought,
"I should read up on tea - it's been a while."
Rather than bore you to tears with my rendition of tea's history,
I'll just provide you a link to Wikipedia ...

So brew up a cup and pull up that laptop.

Please join me in welcoming Richard Aerni Pottery as the contributor to our icon and as the artisan of our Tea Pot of the Month (see sidebar). You can visit Richard at his website or his shop on Etsy

Okay Everyone we are LIVE!!

I will be e-mailing blog instructions for posting/editing, and tea instructions for trading. Basically, every two weeks one of us sends out samples to the other six. We post our reason for the tea, history, etc, and the group reacts with crazy joy and copious comments. Please feel free to post in between tea reviews, especially pictures, etc.

Then, two weeks later, someone else (randomly chosen) will be "it" For this initial round I have provided padded envelopes pre-addressed.

I have all the mailing supplies - you just supply the tea and postage. Anna you're up to bat "Tag, you're it!" on the 19th of April.

I think this is the most fun I've had on the internet in a long time!!!

Food for thought on posts is....food that goes well for tea. Blog it ladies. (we want pics of tasties!!!)

So gather pics, gather thoughts, drink tea, and post, post, post!
