I have a funny story to tell about something that happened to me the other day. I was just doing some finishing touches on a paper about Yerba Mates (I’ve titled it “Have ya Heard About Yerba? - A Natural Pick-me-up”) when I got a nasty paper cut on my thumb. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how much those hurt!
While I was digging around my medicine drawer, I came across this bottle of tea tree oil that My folks gave me when they came back from Australia. They told me it was good for this kind of thing, so as I swabbed my thumb, I got to wondering–what is tea tree oil, and does it have any real tea in it?
Just got back from an extended holiday with the folks. and it’s glad to be drinking abig cuppa English Breakfast Teafrom my favorite mug, with my itty bitty kitty cat lying on my feet, purring. warm and comfy and done with the stress of holiday shopping pressures. I’m sure you know what I mean!
The ‘rents made fun when they saw that I had an entire bag full of Amanzi Teas, but as I explained, I need different kinds of tea for different things, and no one can predict the future! Best to be prepared! And sure enough, I used every type of tea I brought!
Heytea guys! How are ya? Happy Ho Ho Ho and all that!
I know Christmas is almost here and everything, so I was just thinking that maybe some people are still trying to think about what to get that special someone that they just never know what to get, you know? I know, I’ve been there!
Well as I swirled a cinnamon stick around my steaming cup of Ginger Peach Tea (my very favorite kind of tea…at least for today, lol!) it occurred to me that i could totally help those people still trying to think of what last minute gift they should buy. And in case you couldn’t guess, it has to do with tea, of course!
It’s been a little while since my last post — I’ve been recovering from all the turkey I ate and the fun times I had sipping Treasure Island Tea, my most recent favorite flavor from Amanzi Tea, with my family. (If you’re like me, nothing goes better with a full belly than a cup of hot black tea. It helps with digestion and settles the stomach, after all!) And now it seems like I can barely blink but Christmas is coming up! The holidays just keep coming.
But that’s got me thinking, as the holidays start overtaking us, and the bitter winter climate greets us every morning, as our neighbors start covering their homes in Christmas lights and candy canes, my mood tends to change. I start wanting a more…winter kind of tea, that goes with the season. Well, don’t you worry, cause I’ve got you covered!
Jetting home to see the fam in just a bit. I’ve packed all my important stuff — changes of clothes, jacket, my favorite kinds of tea that I just can’t live without, and my favorite teapot(cause it’s just not tea if it’s not coming from my favorite pot!) But as I sit here sipping my last cup of yerba mate before I head to the airport, I t thought I would take a minute to take a deep breath and remember what the holiday is all about.
I was just checking my bank balance online (and not liking what I see, I don’t mind saying! lol) and it occurred to me that I don’t think I’ve let you in on one of my ultimate tea secrets. I use it every day, and it seems only fair that I share my tea knowledge with you.
Times are tough, right? The price of everything is going up, including tea in some places. And since tea is not a luxury but a necessity, but gas in your tank is too, you have to find someplace where we can save a bit. So here’s a little something to help you through the “economic downturn.”
Hey again you guys! Just sipping some of Amanzi’s awesome Almond Walnut Tea (which is adelicious black tea, btw) taking a break from work with my favorite thing in the world, Youtube! I bet you can guess what i searched for! Tea, of course!
And today I learned a few new things about this amazing concoction! And the best part is, it’s in this addictive and informative little song so that you won’t be able to forget about it! If you aren’t humming “Tea is for me” the rest of the day…well, you’re a lot stronger than I am!
As the weather turns colder I find that I am not brewing up some iced tea and taking it for a hike so much anymore. More and more I find myself sitting inside with a warm cup of yerba mate, telling myself I ought to get some exercise. And yet my body just sits there. It doesn’t listen at all. Has this ever happened to you?
Anyway, I was wasting too much time surfing the old internet instead of exercising, and as usual, found something great about tea– specifically green tea, and an interesting way to…shall we say “imbibe” it? Apparently when there’s no gravity, you can eat tea with chopsticks! Crazy right! Check it out!
What’s up guys! Today, after a long day of meetings and briefings (but there never seem to be any brief meetings, ha ha), nothing sounds better to me than a nice, soothing cup of tea. you know how soothing a cup of tea can be–everyone knows about the relaxing properties of a delicious tea at the end of the day.
What’s up you guys! Jasmine here to talk to you about something very important. It’s not about tea. Well, it is, but it’s not just about that. it is about tea, and it is about tea parties. But most of all, it’s about breast cancer.
See, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And one of the types of fundraisers people are having that I’ve been reading about are Pink Tea Parties. So I want to encourage you guys to throw a Pink Tea Party for Breast Cancer!
