Mmm, Tea.

Finding a fellow sugary-tea lover in [livejournal.com profile] shineko sent me on a little ramble across the tea-related web ^^ I now have recipes for smoothies and a mint chocolate cake. Aaaand.... Apparently Celestial Seasonings (the recipes are there too, I <3 their teas ^^) makes a Canadian Vanilla Maple Decaf Black Tea. I am both amused and intrigued. I think I shall have to check it out next time I'm at the grocery store, because I <3 all of you nutty Canadians, and vanilla and maple = good, although I've never had black tea.

And now, back to my cup of spearamint and chamomile with it's six spoonfuls of sugar ^^

I've had that one!!

It is really good!

If you ever go out to Boulder, Colorado you can do a tour of the Celestrial Seasonings Factory. It's really neat cause you get to sample new teas in the works and of course they have a factory store where you can get tea cheaper.

Though I confess, at the moment, my favorite tea is genmai cha. ^^

Have you ever tried roobius tea? (I think I spelled that right, I'll have to look tomorrow ^^;)

Hee, I'll have to check it out if I'm ever in Colorado ^^ And, as I think I trust your judgement on tea, I'll have to add that one to my list ^^ It looked quite good, and the name kind of amused me ^^

And no, I don't think I've ever tried that kind of tea. Is it good?

Roobius, or however you spell it, can be, we had a vanilla flavored one. It's a red tea, and it's naturally decaf.

Genmai-cha is green tea with roasted barley I think, or maybe it's roasted rice. ^^; To me, it really warms you up and relaxes you. I like this one brand I buy at the Japanese grocery.

My in-laws live in CO, which is why I went on the "Tour of the Teas."
