Are you aware that January is National Tea Month here in the United States? I'm not really certain how I came about knowing this little bit of trivia but somehow it became a little piece of information stored in my memory banks. So, for my last post of 2010 and to get you prepared for any Tea Celebration you might want to have next month; I went in search for something about Tea.
In my search of a neat lens about tea, I stumbled across one done by Noobeegin. I figured Celebrating Tea would be a good place to find some interesting information about tea. I wasn't disappointed in what I found. Noobeegin tells us about the types of tea that we can enjoy drinking. She also shows us some most delightful and unique teapots to brew or serve our tea in. Her recommendations of books about tea, including some mysteries, just sound really intriguing. Noobeegin even gives us a primer on reading tea leaves. And if you have been thinking of using tea as a dye, you will find some tips on how to do that. Reading her facts and fun tips is really well...totally tea!
My beverage choice is usually a cup of coffee, but after reading "Celebrating Tea" I think I may try to drink a little more tea during January. I do love a nice cup of Earl Grey once in a while. I know green teas are pretty popular and have some health benefits. I didn't realize that white tea actually has more antioxidants until I read Noobeegin's article.
How about you? Will you be celebrating tea next month by having a "spot of tea" more often? Perhaps if you are already a tea drinker, you might consider trying a different type of tea or a new blend. Maybe you can treat yourself to a new teapot or a pretty cup and saucer to enjoy a cup of tea in.
I do think that you will enjoy the information and suggestions found in Noobeegin's article, Celebrating Tea.
I would love a new little tea pot! I drink lots of tea, usually green and Earl Gray Green is my fave, but is hard to find. I also drink healthy Echinacea which has to brew for 15 minutes, which tastes yummy. I do enjoy trying various kinds so I'll be sure to visit Noobeegin's lens and celebrate National Tea Month!
ReplyDeleteI'm a coffee girl but sometimes envy tea lovers. They are so passionate about their brew. Thanks for point us to a great lens and for your informative review Bev! (I had no idea there was a National Tea Month!)
