Making tea in a coffee press

Season’s greetings, lovers of tea!

The Season of Giving is over. Teato has given many beautiful gifts to many beautiful women this Christmas, but he has also received some wonderful presents. And while some lovely and generous ladies know my tastes extremely well (I love delicious tea; this is no surprise to loyal readers) others seem to know very little about me.

One lovely girl actually gave me a coffee press for Christmas. A coffee press! It’s as if we are total strangers! But all is not lost. I will make the best of it, and pass on this important tea lesson to you. You can make tea with a coffee press — in fact, it’s a great way to brew loose leaf tea, which as you know, is far superior to teabags.

Greetings beautiful tea people;

Please, take a moment to stop whatever you are doing, and listen to a bit of wisdom brought to you by a humble Tea Lover. As I wait for my cup of Winter Romance Tea to cool (who wants romance more than I, and in the winter more than ever! Though while I prefer a cooler cup of tea, I hope the romance itself is hot hot hot), I wish to share a little tip of the trade. My heart is overflowing with generosity today

As you know I Teato Flavio, enjoy the company of the ladies quite a bit. I have many powerful seduction techniques, but none is more important than this one simple thing: my smile.

The sexy world of tea.

Hello again, lovers of tea. We meet again.

As this uniquely American holiday creeps closer, and I try to decide where I will brew my Thanksgiving morning tea (i of course have many invitations), I thought I might allow myself to get a bit more in the spirit by professing unto you the thing that I am most thankful for.

Of course I am most thankful for tea. That is obvious, and would not even be worth writing to tell you. You would assume this. So barring my extreme love of all things tea related, here is what I will be thanking the Puritans for this Thursday.

Greetings online Tea Lovers;

Teato has put down his steaming cup of Yerba Mate tea quite suddenly (and spilled a little on his extemely expensive shirt an ex-girlfriend gave him) to tell you about a wonderful new idea that he has only recently heard about.

A company in San Diego is selling green tea bracelets. They call them “Zenlets,” saying that they “are made out of green tea, which absorbs into your skin and body for health benefits…The bracelets should be worn for eight to twelve days before the green tea is completely absorbed.”

Hello again tea lovers;

As you may know, Teato adores the tea. Almost as much as he loves the ladies. (On some days, he prefers tea a little bit more–it just depends.) And when I can, I bring the two together as much as possible. For what makes a woman’s heart grow warmer for you than a steaming cup of a rich white tea like rose garden blend? (if she loves roses, why would she not love a cup of rose garden? My logic has a simple beauty you can’t argue, no?)

But as you have certainly read before, the tea must not be steeped for too long. The perfect cup of tea must be brewed just so. So how to smother my gorgeous companion with attention while still making sure the tea is as perfect as she is? It’s actually quite simple. Techonology to the rescue!

Teato has many loves. Sunsets. Beautiful Women. Tea. And when it comes time to give someone a present, Teato gives them…tea. What else? It is the embodiment of beauty, in tiny little leaves.

But if you want to bestow the gift of tea on someone special, you must know their heart. Here are a few suggestions on what kind of tea to give those close to you:

Choosing Tea for a Friend

If you are just beginning on your friendship journey, go with a sampler — something with a variety of tea. That way they can find the path to loving tea, and you, themselves. Whether that path is through black tea, green tea, or herbal tea, they can be their own guide.

Hark tea lovers! Teato was sitting here savoring a cup of organic loose tea when it occurred to me that there’s just so many health benefits to drinking hot tea all day long. You know how it helps with digestion, combats aging, and slows the advancement of Parkinson’s. Those are all very important. But did you know that tea keeps your teeth strong, making your alluring smile even more…alluring?

Fret not tea lovers, Teato is here to rescue you from the sweltering summer heat.  With the mercury rising, Teato understands that a hot cup of tea is not the first thing on your mind right now. Teato likes a steaming, hot cup of tea too, but not always in the summer.

Faithful readers will remember the proper way to make iced tea. You must make it the traditional way, just like you would regular hot tea, then add more water and put it in the fridge to cool. (If you don’t know the best way to make tea, click here.) But what kind of tea should you use, you ask? Let Teato show you the light.

Hello my tea pets. How are you feeling? A little under the weather, you say?  Worry no more–Teato is here to tell you about yet another health benefit of tea. I am taking a break from writing poetry to my new love, and sitting down with a hot cup of herbal tea as you should be, too.

There’s a lot of chatter about all the healthy foods out there, and unhealthy foods too, and what you should and shouldn’t eat. Teato’s head spins sometimes with all the conflicting information. But I have learned that after a romantic night of dining on oysters and chocolate, I often need a warm cup of Rooibos tea to calm my tummy.

Teato believes in being fit, in mind, in body, and in heart. I always make sure to run every day to exercise my body, write poetry about the many ways I love tea to exercise my mind, and share my time with beautiful women to exercise my heart. My secret weapon to help me in all these pursuits is a pot of organic herbal tea.

Sometimes life, work, and love get in the way of my exercise regimen.  But here’s hope. Tea can help you with weight loss. There’s lots of information on it, too.
