No Bigelow tea for the single cup brewing machineīut I do so love to indulge in the soothing ritual of tea…just like it says on the box below…I love those purple Impatients too…the bed under my water fountain soothes me also.Īnd add it to my prepared tea pot…prepared with a hot water rinse before the tea is added. One of these will grace my table on memorial Day… Look at these cute watermelon knives that I found right by the watermelons. I always brew extra in the early morning so I can enjoy a glass over ice later in the day.

I love the Plantation Mint hot or cold. Now that is not a hardship by any means as I already love Bigelow Teas. I am on a mission to check out the tea selections and buy a box of Bigelow Tea. Just look at that flag flying in the stormy sky…how inspiring is that? So it all started when I headed to Walmart to pick up a few things for my memorial Day bash. When we return home I brew a pot of tea and head out into my garden. I walk about 2 miles every morning with my dog Sir Chancelot.

Like fine wine and chocolate, tea can have a subtle, nuanced flavor and aroma, or it can be rich and bold (nearly enough to rival coffee). There are more than 3,000 varieties in the world, so there’s something to suit just about any palate. Tea is part of a daily routine for billions of people who drink it for pleasure, comfort, and myriad health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and even reducing the risk of various types of cancer. Even though tea is not as popular as coffee in the US, we think it deserves its place as the second-most widely consumed beverage in the world (water being the first). A great cup of tea can make everything better.
