Discovering the Joys of Tea Drinking
Who is discovering tea drinking in this modern world? Me, absolutely, and you can too. Back in the late 90’s and early 2000 Teavana opened stores in malls all over the U.S. Oh my goodness, it was so fun to stroll in for a yummy sample. The challenge was trying to select just a few bags of delicious loose-leafe tea. I really had been a cover lover. But, I learned very quickly that there was nothing like sipping a decadent cup of freshly brewed tea at home in the evenings.
Discovering the best teas
As much as I loved all the special blends Teavana had to offer, it was just too expensive. I did some research and found a wonderful little company called Adagio (a-da-je-o) Teas. Wow, I have been hooked ever since. They offer the most amazing blends of teas. All of their teas are fresh and from small artisans farms all over the globe. You can actually visit each farm through their website.
Discovering the perfect blend
There is the perfect tea for every taste in the Adagio Tea repertoire. The blends they create will rock your world…they do mine. My taste buds jump with excitement every time I peruse through their website and I count the days until my newest “finds” arrive. I love the magic of creating the perfect cup of tea by pouring the hot water over the loose leaves. You can buy the most unique brewers that will brew right into your favorite cup. Or, if you aren’t into that “fancy, schmansy” kind of fun, they do offer their teas in premade tea bags. Just like a grocery store offers.
Discovering the origins of your favorite blend
Another cool thing is they give you complete descriptions for each of the teas and directions for brewing each cup to perfection. Then, people submit honest reviews so you know right away whether or not something is going to be “your cup of tea”!
Discovering Iced Tea
And…tea doesn’t have to be hot. I have a giant glass jar that you will always see on my patio when the sun is shining. Iced tea can be just as delicious and sweetly soothing.
You’ve just got to check it out. Drinking tea is a wonderful way to ease into your every morning and ease back into a relaxing evening.
