I've converted to tea as well...but which brand was the sugar cookie type? I couldn't quite make out which one was which (or need to adjust monitor settings)<BR/><BR/>ironically, my latest post on my blog is about coffee, lol! But I did get the decaf version, but haven't told anyone at work about my switch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-2710309038297375192007-10-31T22:20:00.000-07:002007-10-31T22:20:00.000-07:00Oh, you be careful, now.

Now it's just loose leaf green tea with sugar and milk - all day long. I put the tea in my tea ball and then into my teapot and brew it a pot at a time. I even bought two Camellia Sinesis bushes so that I could make my own loose leaf green tea :).<BR/><BR/>My husband drinks Roiboos tea, which we order online from a fair trade vendor ;). <BR/><BR/>My daughter is the only one who still uses teabags, and she likes Bigelow mint tea :).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-9579587180455460402007-10-31T06:38:00.000-07:002007-10-31T06:38:00.000-07:00Wow....I am sitting here drinking a cup as I read ...Wow....I am sitting here drinking a cup as I read this....you're right though...it's the warmth of the cup and the hot liquid...maybe I should try tea....<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day!<BR/><BR/>kari and kijsakari and kijsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047434064728375340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-40178769073023557242007-10-31T05:32:00.000-07:002007-10-31T05:32:00.000-07:00I'm a sucker for tea, too.

I'm still on the coffee. <BR/><BR/>You're right, it is alot of packaging. You rock for trying to be so diligent about it, and I am trying to be more so as well. At least the majority of the packaging is biodegradable, at least. But there's all that used product and printing and shipping to think about.<BR/><BR/>I like spicy teas, and earthy teas: chai tea, english breakfast, earl grey, some green teas with lemongrass or mint, chamomile. But my favorite, I think is ginger tea. Most notably, with apricot or peach. It's good for you when you are sick, will boost your immune system, help get you better, and is a bit spicy, sweet, without being overly so. I love that. I've got a couple of ginger teas in my cabinet, a green ginger tea, and a peach ginger, at the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-37675265286453242962007-10-30T21:44:00.000-07:002007-10-30T21:44:00.000-07:00Spinning in circles?

I'm a cheap date!) <BR/><BR/>And then I look forward to my cuppa tea buzz in the afternoon! (English Breakfast--with milk!) <BR/><BR/>P.S. Love your attention to the whole "excess packaging" thing.
