Am typing away on my iPad at 0.53, but ought to go to sleep as I have to go shopping at Ikea tomorrow. But first some reading on my Kindle: always three books- some spirituality to end the day, literature(elephant from Saramago) and fantasy ( Donaldson). Goodnight and sweet dreams all.

Well - I couldn't wait - I brewed up a cup of Black Cacao Mint - heavenly - it truly tastes like a thin mint cookie! With no sweetener added! Mint & chocolate. Got so excited I fogged my glasses blowing on it so I could taste it!

The Teavana Teamaker is nifty - worked perfectly! I also ordered some of those disposable tea bags Betty posted - so I could carry tea with me ready to brew!

I am a Teaborg now!
More reports this weekend!

It's the weekend, Pooh. Time to relax and recover. I hope you enjoy your new found treasures. Let us know the particulars when you get a chance.

Edit: Oops! Looks as if I missed some later posts. Glad to hear you like your toys! I'm almost tempted to try that chocolate mint tea.

And Pooh, it'll be a great weekend to stay inside with a hot cup of tea!

My new tea (I know it's not a true tea!) came today, too -- Davidson's Organic Spiced Rooibos Chai. I wanted something to drink in the evenings without caffeine, and I liked the couple of rooibos flavors I've had before. This makes a beautiful red cup of tea, but it actually tastes kind of sweet. ??? Nothing I have found in researching it indicates that they have included any sweetener in the mix, and I know rooibos is slightly sweet anyway, so I guess that's what it is. I emailed Davidson's just now to ask them, but I don't think they'll be back until Monday. No big deal, but it just has me curious. I don't sweeten any hot drinks, so it took my mouth by surprise.

If it says natural flavoring it likely has sugar in it. At least, that is what a friend of mine said who cannot have sugar and will nto order teas that say natural flavorings.

I'm curious to see what they say -- I've asked for a complete list of ingredients. I don't know why it matters to me, but it just seems like I taste sugar in it.

I'm pretty sure because of all the disclosure laws about food that they MUST label for sugar especially because of diabetics

Still can't decide on what teas - I get in the site and just go nuts, want everything!

Mid afternoon... Beautiful Saturday but we'll stay indoors, water the garden, and get some chores done. I need to sew some rubber suspender buttons onto my Christmas present; a new pair of armored winter riding overpants. They are extra large and wont stay up without the suspenders. (By the way, this is the 'American' usage of 'suspenders,' not the British usage. .)

A needle, some heavy duty thread, and a big mug of Yorkshire tea!

Always give in to temptation. The opportunity might not come around again.

Oooohhhh!! I showed Chris the infuser cup, and he asked if that's what I wanted for an anniversary gift. I said yes, and he said, "Order it!" So I did, along with a bunch of samples. Here goes my tea adventure!

Remember, I like flavored teas, so that's what I mostly got.
Apple Black
Cream Black
Orchard Sampler green teas
Orchard Sampler herbals
Berries Sampler black teas
