Hi Tea people!

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!

Isn't tea pretty? In all its forms!

Hey tea buddies;

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.”

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.

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.

Greetings Commoners. The Earl of Grey has bothered to notice your existence today. On previous occasions, I have explained to you how to make good iced tea, what makes tea so healthy, and other juicy tidbits of my tea wisdom. Well, hold your tea bags, because I’ve got something for you today.

Many people think a cup of tea is just something to have in the morning. Which isn’t wrong. But tea is a delicious afternoon drink as well. And tastes great in the evening. What I’m saying is that tea is a delicious beverage for any time of day. As long as you do it right.

Hello my precious readers. Teato Flavio is here to wax poetic about the many, many things he loves. Sunsets. Beautiful Women. Wine and Roses. And tea, glorious organic tea.

For Teato, only organic tea will do. Some of you out there will take any cup of hot tea served to you, and it breaks Teato’s heart. Maybe some of you are enlightened enough to ask for loose leaf tea. And others of you may know how to brew tea right. Hopefully all of you don’t leave your tea bags in the pot for too long. But you’re still missing the clear, natural, elegant flavors of organic tea! Teato’s heart is aching for you.
