A new tea site to play around with. I like that they have many varaties of tea and that much of it is organic fair trade.

Logical side: wait until March when your Christmas trip and presents are all paid off.

Impulsive side: Yeah right, that is going to happen

BTW, I got a prompt reply back from Davidson's about whether or not the Spiced Rooibos I ordered contains any sugar. It does not -- she said the sweetness comes from the cassia oil/cinnamon oil. I just did a google search on cassia oil since I'm not familiar with it. Apparently it's very good for you...

Great news. I am glad that they got back to you. I don't get why they don't list that type of thing on their website.

Black Cherry Berry from CS. Smells like cherry cobbler, almost.

Double cappuccino, without sugar this time. It takes some getting used to, so far I don't like it. Too bad I desperately need some caffeine.

It took me about 6 weeks to get used to no milk, and then another 6 weeks to like my coffee without sugar. It's better for the teeth, my dentist says.

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee and glass of tap-water.

Took me 6 months top stop drinking tea without sugar and another year to stop disliking the drinking.

Second cup of tea.
Assam Mangalam.

Lavazza espresso in the office. first tiny plastic cup. no milk. no sugar. no cigarette. no nothing. just 7 emails. 3 phone calls.

Black coffee allows to appreciate it better than with sugar and milk. They tend to cover the fine points of taste and especially the aroma. If it is not good or it is too acid, sugar and or milk can set it right. Good coffee is difficult to find and rather expensive. More so than tea.

The same with tea.

Sugar and milk are of the same nature as perfume invented in France...instead of taking a good bath

Rooibos raspberry&vanilla.

I once worked for an owner of a coffee-factory and I remember him saying that his professional coffee-tasters tasted coffee with sugar. But I wouldn't know the idea behind it.

Fourth cuppa.

Mate roasted.
