So, if you want to get Christmas Tea and send it along with a teapot then you can order it now, save the shipping and schedule the delivery in December.  What a great idea?

I love Adagio. I have been buying their tea for several years, and used to send it to my daughter when she lived out of state. The favors are clean and clear and the variety of tea available is almost endless. I have never had one problem with them at all and often they have sent me coupons for discounts and free tea with my purchases.

If you want a holiday theme but the Christmas flavored tea doesn’t interest you consider:

• Sweet Potato Pie
• Chai Sampler
• Peppermint
• White Tangerine

They are still letting me write it, I am still going to be doing  all of those amazing reviews, cool coffee and tea recipes, and snarky Starbucks sarcasms that I always have.  No worries!

Just here.  Same blogs on the blog roll, same odd and offbeat posts.  Different look.

So, I will be coming back in a bit to continue with the reviews of Silver Joe’s Coffee, and then we will be moving on to other things…

Iced Tea season is coming up …You guys in the North are probably unaware of it…but it is almost Spring!  The trees here have budded, the Bradford Pears and Quince are in flower..I even saw some bluebonnets yesterday.  And it is raining.

If it is raining in Texas it must be one of the two days of Spring that we normally get every year.

Adagio has some new teas, as does Teavana…so see?  Lots to talk about.

If you are wondering, yes Simply Home Remedies was retired.  But, I will start discussing medicinal teas here as well, they are teas right?  So,  don’t go far…As always, you don’t want to miss a minute of it.

Here is another one..and you don’t need a code.  Adagio is offereing free gift wrap on any order and free shipping on orders over $50.  I will try to keep you updated as I come across things today.   Thier sample sizes make great stocking stuffers.

Adagio Tea has come out with this  Tea Chest just in time for Thanksgiving.  If you are invited to celebrate with someone this is going to make you one very, very welcome guest!The chest is hand carved wood, and perfectly stores your choice of teas.  You can purchase it filled or fill it with your own choices.  You canbuy this in either the Gourmet Collection, which includes:

•  English Breakfast
• White Peony
• Pu Erh

Or the Premium  Collection, which includes:

• Wuyi
• Golden Monkey
• Silver Needle

Personally, if you are going to the trouble to be this thoughtful, I suggest that you buy the box empty and fill it with tea that is tailored to what your host likes.  Adagio has some amazing and imaginative teas and it seems a pity not to utilize some of them.

SO, if you are coming to my house? Bring the box with THESE teas inside…:)

• Foxtrot is one of my oldest daughter’s and my favorites.  Chamomile, Rooibos, and Peppermint make a relaxing and yet invigorating combination.
• Christmas has all of those spicy, cozy, yummy Christmas aromas and flavors.  Black tea flavored with cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel
• White Peach Tea is amazing.  Clean and juicy.
• Yunnan Noir is a new one, so I haven’t tried it but the description is tantalizing.  Sweet with hints of honey and fruit. To the palate it is red wine-like with notes of fruit and cocoa

Of course, my choices are all loose teas because I really, dislike the bags.

Anyway…check it out.  It is a great, under $40 hostess gift.
