Just My Cup of Tea

I have never been a tea drinker - hot or cold. I've tried to be, but I've never been able to stand the taste. I'm not a coffee drinker, either. My hot beverage of choice has always been hot chocolate. After all, what woman can't get enough chocolate? But I'm straying here. Every time I've tried hot tea, the description that comes to mind is always "liquid potpourri." It seemed like someone soaked some potpourri in water and that's what is left to drink. I do recall once having green tea that I enjoyed but it was at a friend's house and I wouldn't know how to repurchase it.

Given my strong dislike for it, and the fact that we're finally experiencing summer weather, I didn't anticipate that I'd be drinking tea. However, that's just what I've been doing...on a nightly basis, too! A cold had left my throat in need of some tea with honey. I'd been sick for weeks and waking up with a terrible cough. It felt like a last resort option. I gave it a try and it's become a nightly ritual. Thank goodness it's decaf.

The tea I've fallen in love with is Red Raspberry by Bigelow. I guess it's no surprise since raspberries are probably one of my favorite foods. But this tea doesn't have that potpourri taste I despise. It's like a treat, especially with honey. It's warm, soothing, and it's the perfect way to unwind and relax.

This tea has definitely become a favorite of mine, and I plan on doing a little write-up of things that I'm loving at the moment. I enjoy hearing what others can't get enough of to give me ideas on what I should try.

So, do you like tea? Have your ever had Bigelow's Red Raspberry? What's your favorite and what should I give a try? Let me know!
