It has been really cold here (for Florida anyway) for the last week or so. And I’ve been keeping warm with a daily cup of tea. Yum! If anyone has any tea recommendations, I would love to hear them. Right now my favorite is green tea tropical from Mighty Leaf.

Nancy commented on December 28th, 2009 at 10:38 amI love PG Tips Black Tea.
Cheryl@Highlowaha commented on December 28th, 2009 at 11:04 amI am loving the Algonquin Tea Company’s tea. They harvest it by hand ethically and sustainably, choosing herbs that are indigenous to the area (so can only be retrieved by canoe!). Using blends past down by the Native communities, the teas are functional, and delicious: Lucid Dreaming Tea, Peace Tea, Awakening Tea, Homestead Tea… The artwork on the boxes is also really fabulous, too.
Certified organic, packaged in bleach-free tea bags, in 100% recycled packaging.
I am sure I missed some of the details – their website is algonquintea.com. Love-love-love them!
(also, loving paper n stitch!! It is a recent find for me; I am glad I did!)

I gave them a call and let them know they needed to find some local retailers. They are working on it now. Meantime, their online shopping works well to the U.S. — I didn’t have any problems.
laura commented on December 28th, 2009 at 11:28 amI am excited to try everyone’s suggestions. Thank you! And Nancy. Yum, I love English Breakfast tea as well. I live in Jacksonville.

I love Organic India’s Jasmine Tulsi Tea. It is soooo relaxing! I found it at Whole Foods, but I’ve seen it at my little local health food store too. Stash’s Teas of India line also has a wonderful Assam tea!

Looove Tazo teas, particularly the green tea with lemon grass and spearmint, with a big spoon of local honey. I’m going to make some right now!
Brenda commented on December 28th, 2009 at 6:28 pmI live in FL too :O) My favorite tea is Aveda’s “Comforting Tea”, a bit of a splurge for me but so worth it. It is an infusion of licorice root and peppermint. A perfect combo and naturally sweet.
Amy commented on December 28th, 2009 at 11:20 pmlove the shot! cocoa spice by yogi
elk commented on December 29th, 2009 at 12:23 ammmmm tea, for years my favorite is Tazo, Om. It’s a perfect blend of organic green and a touch of black with a hint of peach and cucumber (i thought that sounded just terrible-but it’s so slight of a hint). I’m always afraid they are going to discontinue it so I usually buy 3 packs at a time. happy new year.
kathryn commented on December 30th, 2009 at 10:49 amI’m a huge tea drinker in this house and I can’t live without tea from Fortunes http://www.fortunescoffee.com/ My favorites are Blueberry Vanilla and Wild Cherry. I buy those by the bundles of 100 I just bought some Blackberry Blaze and its so yummy
Becky commented on January 1st, 2010 at 2:09 amMy Sister bought me a tea leaf teapot for Christmas and some tea from a coffee company here in the UK called Pumphreys. I usually can’t live without Earl Grey but I’m really liking the Blue Lady Leaf Tea. It tastes a bit like breakfast tea, light and subtly fragrant with flowers-delicious.
