My cup of tea - 5 favourites
20:59
Hello there!
Yesterday was the firs advent so Christmas season as officialy begun, although to be honest I have been listening to Christmas songs non-stop for a few weeks now. Hehe..
In my opinion one of the best things this time of the year is to make a good big cup of tea and just relax, while listening to Christmas music of course. That is one of the reason why I wanted to share my favourite teas.

This is ou families tea drawer and lets just say that this isn't even it's final form and we're not British. In the colder months to come it will most likely see quite a few additions.
To be honest I am a big fan of green tea. I can't really drink coffee in the mornings because lately I had a very bad case of caffein intolerance so instead I have opted for green tea which is also energizing. Not only that, but it's also high in anti oxidants, good for digestion, helps lose weight and so on.
Although I do like pure green tea I have discovered some great flavoured green teas. One of them is this Lipton's raspberry and pomegranate green tea. A tiny spoonful of sugar brings forth the details and you can really taste the raspberry. The taste isn't bitter either, though it tends to be with some green teas, but that is also avoided by the right brewing time.
The second green tea which has been a avourite of mine for quite some time is the Gurman's Geisha. This has a variety of flower petals mixed into the green tea so it looks splendidly colorful and tastes wonderul.
When making green tea don't use boiling water, but about 70-80 degrees celsius water and brewing time should be about 2-3 minutes. That way you can get the most good out of your tea.
Rooibos tea has been a classic for me and I keep going back for it. My favourite is the Loyd Tea rooibos with orange and cinnamon. You can't really taste the two latter toe honest. Also a great one is Greenfield's Creamy Rooibos.
Teekanne's Sweet Kiss is a very sweet one so it might not be for everyone, but I really like the combination of strawberry and cherry. Also Teekanne is a great brand as each tea bag is in its separate package that is foiled on the inside and so the aroma is very strong when you take it out.
Can't leave unmentioned an actual christmas tea, namely Greenfield's Christmas Mystery. It tastes like gingerbread and elves and all of Christmas in one cup. All said.
In conclusion you could say that I'm a bit of a teaholic or secretly British. You can't blame me though. Tea has many good properties, it tastes wonderful and it's warm.
Have a beautiful Christmas time!
