honeybush vanilla
based on 1251 reviews
Our Honeybush Vanilla combines the rich, warm dark sugar aroma of vanilla with the honeyed aroma and gentle earthy quality of Honeybush herb from South Africa. Soft, sweet and very 'beany' vanilla fragrance (like warm sugar cookies made with fresh vanilla beans). A comforting, caffeine-free treat.

Happy Superbowl Sundog!
12:00 am
Where did Saturday go? The weekend is flying too fast.
12:01 am
I love spearmint! It's my favorite mint! I will sip along with all of you today ...or later, since ya'll are a few hours ahead of me.
12:02 am
I too love spearmint and look forward to enjoying it tomorrow/today!
12:09 am
PM
Count me in. I love spearmint too.
01:13 am
Me too~ 😋
06:31 am
Good Luck Mary A. With your chili. It looks really tasty.
12:05 am
Thank you. I had to realize it was 10 pm and put down the spoon.
12:10 am
I do wish you luck today, Mary, but I'm intrigued by your husband's Sichuan chili. Does he have a recipe he's willing to share?
08:29 am
That chili looks delicious! Best of luck to you!
07:26 am
That is some pretty stained glass Artyjen. I’m sure it was even better in person.
12:06 am
Bet it was a beautiful museum to spend time in!
12:29 am
Goodnight everyone!
12:06 am
Night 💤💤💤

Sweet dreams, Judy!

Every Superbowl Sunday our local eatery hosts a Chili cook off to benefit out little Free Library. It's amazing how many people show up. There are 16 entries this year. We each make a pot of chili to enter, pay $10 to taste everyone's and to cast three votes, and we are rewarded with compliments ( few complaints- we all know those types), and then get a gift certificate to that eatery as a thank you. I enjoy doing this chili cook off more than I enjoy the Superbowls. Wish me luck with my Creamy White Chicken Chili OR wish Steve luck with his Sichuan Chili. For fun, Who would you VOTE for❓❓❓❓❓
12:07 am
Creamy white chicken chili! ;)
12:09 am
Love chili! I'd happily eat both!
12:26 am
Creamy White Chicken Chili
02:02 am
Mary, I'd go for the creamy white chicken, too. Sichuan sound intriguing, but probably too spicy for me.
03:16 am
It was spicy for us as well. He added coconut milk to cook it down a bit. It was nice. But we're getting too old for chili I think.
06:29 pm
Creamy white chicken chili 😋
06:13 am
Definitely creamy white chicken chili!
06:25 am
Mary A, if the Creamy White chicken Chili has any milk products in it, I would have to pass (lactose intolerance) and go with the Sichuan Chili. If the creaminess is from pureed beans, then it is the White Chicken Chili for me. However, like A F, I might just have to go with them both!
07:05 am
This chili has neufchatel cheese in it. You could use lactose free cream cheese I am sure..I'll post the recipe link here: https://www.cookingclassy.com/
06:36 pm
I love this concept! It's accessible to both cooks and tasters. I vote white chicken chili.
07:28 am
Good luck to the both of you. Both chilis sound good!
08:12 am
Oops! Posted too soon. Without tasting, I'd probably vote for yours, but I'm really intrigued by a Sichuan chili. Would your husband share his recipe?
08:31 am
https://omnivorescookbook.com/chinese-chili/. He substituted: substituted Korean dried chili peppers for the facing heaven and red lantern peppers. I substituted gochujaing paste for dobenjiang. And I skipped the wine altogether. Had to add some coconut milk to tame the spice.
06:27 pm
OOOhhhh, sounds like fun. What makes your Creamy White Chicken, creamy and white? I'm lactose intolerant. Could I use non-flavored almond, soy or oat milk if it has dairy? I think the Sichuan might be too hot for me, so your chili would get my vote, LOL (but your husband would probably get my husband's vote.). Any chance of you sharing your chicken chili recipe or it is a family secret? (We've got a few of those ourselves). 😇 God bless and good luck to you both.😇😇😇
08:54 am
Recipe links are in comments above. Both were really good. You can use lactose free cream cheese, that's the only dairy used.
06:38 pm
PS
Both sound delicious! Good luck Mary!🍀
10:00 am
I love White Chicken Chili! So my vote would definitely go to you 🗳️
10:35 am
I would say the chicken.
10:45 am
I’m going against the grain for sichuan. That’s a new one to me I love fusion foods. Especially if they bring spice!
12:21 pm
The link should be above in a comment for the recipes used.
06:38 pm
Happy Superbowl Sunday! I have Spearmint in my tea cupboard and will happily sip along with everyone today.
12:16 am
Good night
12:19 am
Happy birthday Jialin, and Michelle
12:19 am
Happy Birthday and more birthday wishes for you, Jialan and Michelle!
12:31 am
12:20 am
It's always difficult to UN- Deck the halls. Hugs. I keep trees up year round and decorate them for the seasons or special occasions. I just bought a slim black tree
12:43 am
Christine, I miss the Christmas twinkle lights, although I prefer them steady burning, so I put up wall hangings with some of the battery operated fairy lights woven into them. I never like to see Christmas go either.
03:17 am
It always makes me sad to take down Christmas. We had uncharacteristically cold spells through January so I didn't get mine down until almost the end of the month. Several houses around here still have them up and I don't blame them. A) it's SO cold, B) everyone could use a little extra joy these days.
08:08 am
I have a lot of snowman and winter things around the house. A small tree is still up too. It certainly is a winter this year.
08:15 am
Gn everyone 😴
12:22 am
David, Jean and Nancy, thank you so much for your kind words yesterday. I am so sorry I did not get back on Chat in time reply in a timely manner. David, the Earl Grey Lavender was most definitely soothing and is a favorite of mine. Lavender is my go-time aromatherapy scent. No, Nancy, somehow my hubby has escaped the flu...both times I have had it this year. I guess my immune system is not as strong as his as anytime we go out we are together. Plus, of course, we are together in our home all the time. Go figure! Jean, I hope you are doing well. Try to avoid all the stuff going around out there. I hope I can shake this off completely very soon. I am feeling much, much better.
12:23 am
That's wonderful, Mary! Glad you're feeling better now.
12:32 am
Thank you, A F. I am croaky this morning but plan on doing all I can today to strengthen myself. Don't want to get weak. Will try a short walk later.
07:09 am
PM
Mary, I’m glad that each day you’re feeling better. Keep it up.
01:07 am
Paula, thank you for your kind words. I hope you are doing better in your battle against that nasty long-lasting virus.
07:10 am
So happy to hear Mary!
07:38 am
Janet, I only got a couple of houses away when we went for our walk and had to return home. I am hoping for a better result tomorrow.
07:33 pm
PS
That’s great you are starting to feel better Mary! I’m glad you are taking it easy and drinking lots of tea.💜💜
10:02 am
Pam, lots of cups of tea help in so many ways!
07:33 pm
So glad you’re feeling better Mary - and that your husband has avoided it. Maybe that is do he can care for you!
10:48 am
Bambi, I am now having chest tightness and a croaky voice. Not sure what is causing that. I am breathing okay. Breathe Well tea helps. Perhaps asthma/allergies are kicking in. Pine pollen is visible in our area.
07:35 pm
I'm glad you are feeling better. I took love Lavender . I learned about it's power ful relaxing when I stayed at a B& B that hosted spa products in each room. I was in lavender heaven. Steve on the other hand thought we were at a funeral instead of a birthday / Veteran's day weekend retreat. 🤭
06:42 pm
Mary A, I discovered the soothing properties many years ago when I was battling fibromyalgia and have loved it ever since.
07:37 pm
Happy Superbowl Sunday, everyone!
12:34 am
Happy superb owl!
12:37 am
I love "superb owl!" Makes me happy! LOL God bless and enjoy your Superbowl Sunday, Charlotte!.😇😇😇
08:49 am
Celebrating my one year anniversary of being free but cause it is me, reflecting. Switchfoot 24. Life is not what I thought it was and would be twenty-four hours ago...
12:39 am
I understand.
07:59 am
I knew you would😁
04:56 pm
Your capacity for self-reflection, while often uncomfortable, is evidence of your empathy and goodness.
08:05 am
Aww thank you my tea pal...I appreciate it.
04:57 pm
PS
Thinking of you Steve.
10:04 am
Thank you Pam
04:57 pm
Steve,I listened to a quick few seconds, I'll try tomorrow when I am awake. It seems there might be some remorse or regrets, the lyrics. One day at a time. I wish you peace in your heart.
12:57 am
Thank you Mary...I only feel sad for my daughters. I know I am on a better path. My friends who have gone this route made it sound like the road would be paved with gold. My journey has been rougher but I have faith in a positive outcome. It may just take a lot longer than advertised....so I turn it over tothe spirit...like the song. 24 hours (a year) I had much different thoughts
05:02 pm
Steve, I can tell you from experience, there is glory in living alone and at times being alone. Sadly, when children are involved things get a lot tougher on everyone. I don't know where I would be without Steve and I wasn't even looking when I found him.aybe you just don't look, life has a way of finding us. Give yourself time. As for your child, always let her know you are there for her. Children, in my opinion, are the very best part of life. Hugs tea friend. You got this.
06:46 pm
Mary, rarely do I plan..rarely do I look. Letting life come is one of the great joys I have gone back to experiencing this year and certainly separation on. Some days sting more with reflection, but life is good. Life is always good...I have surprised myself with how I choose to swim in part of my 24 oceans..that said the best stories are those you work for...I am glad you have found balance.
09:40 pm
PM
Spearmint is a refreshing flavor.
01:19 am
I love spearmint. One year I grew it and had an a diction. Caution, it can be hard on the tummy contrary to what everyone says, trust me.
06:47 pm
AD
Good night, tea buddies!
01:30 am
Oooh, spearmint!
01:40 am
Good morning, everyone! I'm going to try to do groceries and laundry today without falling down or passing out. Wish me luck! 🤞
04:41 am
I get it Cassidy! I’m scared to vacuum today. Good luck 🤞🏼
10:39 am
Thanks! Everything went well. I hope your vacuuming did, too. :)
06:10 pm
I'm sorry. I know your fears. There were a few years I could barely walk to the bathroom without tilting or falling. Do what you need to do to stay out of the hospital, laundry can linger if you aren't feeling well( I can't promise it won't multiply ) One day at a time
06:50 pm
SB
Good morning
05:18 am
264 days till Halloween 💜🐈⬛💜 Hope everyone has a wonderful dreamy Sunday, sending everyone hugs and lots of love💜
05:26 am
Good morning Age and Sabby!
08:20 am
I really enjoy your countdown Age. It's hard to believe we're already 100 days past Halloween!
09:47 am
05:30 am
Marlicia, ice is treacherous. Be careful out there!
08:00 am
Thank you, Mary. We were blessed in that the ice didn't stay past overnight, so the roads were actually good. Now we're looking ahead to what is being called a "parade of winter storms". I'm not sure when it will hit, or how hard, but last I heard, on Tuesday. I think it's going to be an interesting week. God bless and have a wonderful day.😇🙏🫖🍵📚😇
08:46 am
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
06:20 am
Happy Sunday!
06:22 am
Good morning tea friends. I’m starting my tea day with a cup of Keemun Concerto. It’s such a wonderful black tea
06:25 am
Gotta go out and deal with my icy sidewalks, but first, tea.
07:26 am
I just finished cleaning off the car and shoveling all around. We got a bunch of snow, but then it sleeted or something on top making an inch thick crust. Fortunately it was still easy to break up with the shovel and soft underneath. Harley will be sticking to the cleared paths today.
09:45 am
My heart goes out to sweet Harley.
07:42 pm
Good morning! Sipping some Irish Stout before I visit my daughter.
07:32 am
Before you go out...Irish Stout!
08:01 am
I cannot recall if I have tried this one. It sounds right up my alley.
06:52 pm
Happy Read in the Tub day! Wish I had a hot tub..... Anybody here have one? Mind if I come over? ;)
07:37 am
Me too, please!! That sounds amazing.
07:40 am
Michelle, we had one, but that was a good number of years ago. I used to love a good soak in our tub, too, but now I just shower. It is hard to read in the shower though!
08:02 am
Kindles are waterproof. Just saying 😆
09:37 am
Me too! 🛁
10:43 am
I was so glad to see Gladys had her tea there too Michelle.
10:52 am
No hittub here but I have a deep 1960's tub and a vintage bath spa for a bubbly jet. Totally forgot I packed it away last year.
06:53 pm
Me too, that would be so nice. (I just don't want the maintenance involved.)
07:26 pm
My mom and partner would both hate today’s tea! Oddly my partner specifically hates spearmint. Doesn’t matter what form it takes. My mom hates any mint tea. When I say they hate it I do mean hate.
07:40 am
My husband is the same way. Won't even do mint chocolate chip ice cream - more for me!
08:03 am
Not even mint chocolate chip ice cream 😳 That’s my fave!! 💚🤎
10:45 am
However I’m looking forward to it
07:40 am
Good morning everyone. My MIL has taken a turn for the worse after a bout of the flu. Her health has been declining and the decision was reached yesterday to not send her to a hospital again but to keep her on comfort care at the nursing home. We were able to visit her and she seems peaceful and well cared for. It’s a sad time. I will be drinking a mix of Mambo and Irish Breakfast this morning because I like how they taste together. I hope to go back to the nursing home either today or tomorrow to accompany my younger son in saying goodbye to his Grammy. My oldest was with us yesterday.
07:51 am
Sending prayers, strength, peace, and love 🩵
07:59 am
Oh my goodness I'm so sorry Janet. That is such a hard thing for everyone. Sending peace and comfort.
08:02 am
Sending so much 💕 love
08:02 am
Janet, I am so sorry. One of my cousins was just put under the care of Hospice last week. She had COPD, congestive heart failure, double pneumonia and the flu. I feel so bad for her sister as they just lost their brother last year. Another sister passed a good number of years ago. When my cousin passes, her sister will be the last one of the siblings left alive. I've been texting with her quite frequently over the past several weeks. She lives over 1000 miles away. Sending my prayers and love to you and your family as you go through this difficult time.
08:07 am
I'm so sorry to hear this, Mary. If you'd like me to put them in my prayer request book, feel free to drop me a private message, with whatever details, if any, you'd like to give me. God bless...🙏😇
08:41 am
Janet, I'm really sorry. This is difficult to do. There are feelings of worry, fear, and of guilt. If it ever gets to be too much, pm me. My mother has been in a year now with Dementia and cognitive decline. I can be here for you. I understand what you are going through. HUGS.
07:00 pm
Not sure why this duplicated. Caring teamoji spot.
08:07 am
And again...I apologize.
08:07 am
I'm so sorry to hear this, Janet. Please feel free to drop me a PM, with whatever details you'd like to share, if any, if you'd like me to put this intention in my private prayer request book. I know this is a difficult time, not only for you MIL, but for all her loved ones and friends. God bless...😇🙏🙏😇
08:44 am
Thank you Marlicia, that would be much appreciated. She does seem at peace after many months of struggle and unhappiness with worsening dementia. Please pray for her continued peacefulness.
02:42 pm
Janet, thinking of you both. Sending prayers and affection ((hugs)).
10:14 am
I am so deeply sorry. I am praying for you and your family 🙏🏼
10:47 am
So sorry Janet
10:48 am
Such a difficult time Janet but I also know that quantity of life is not worth lack of quality. May you, your husband, sons, and families know peace and love during this time. Virtual hugs and prayers.
10:55 am
PM
Janet, my heart goes out to you and yours❤️🩹
11:16 am
I'm so sorry, Janet. Sending you peace, comfort, and hugs.
04:18 pm
Sending love your way Janet. Such a hard time ❤️
05:53 pm
Prayers for you and your family.
07:27 pm
If it's her time, I hope she goes peacefully with love in her heart and surrounded by those who matter.
08:03 pm
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Flu hit our house on Thursday. Hoping to feel well enough to get out of bed and catch the commercials 😎
08:00 am
Hoping you feel better!
08:01 am
Thank you! Slowly getting there. It’s been a while since we had a flu house. Take care! 😇
12:02 pm
Shelly, I am so sorry to hear that. I have been battling it since last Wednesday. My pup had something going on too but hubby has escaped, at least so far. I hope all recover quickly and completely.
08:10 am
I hope you are feeling better Mary! My husband was the first to go down with flu A. He’s prob the worst. Take care. Hugs to you and pats for Laddie 😇
12:01 pm
Oh, Shelly, I hope you and your family feel better soon, and that you can catch at least some of the game and it's commercials (with a nice cup of tea or two...). God bless and take care of yourselves...😇😇😇
08:39 am
Thank you, Marlicia! Stay well and God Bless 😇
11:59 am
Feel better soon
10:48 am
I hope you all recover quickly
01:20 pm
Shelly, I hope you and your husband feel better soon.
04:12 pm
Hope everyone has a nice Sunday - we are not sportsball people so we never watch the Superbowl. I didn't even know it was today until yesterday. 😂 Instead I'm going to get mani-pedis with one of my girlfriends while the husband helps his mom do taxes. She's so high-strung she makes coffee nervous, so it's better for my mental health if I avoid the whole scene. 🤪 Reindeer Fuel and a roaring fire are pretty good ways to start the morning, too!
08:01 am
Reindeer fuel will give you energy, for sure!
08:01 am
Emoji superbowl playing field, LOL 🏈😇
11:00 am
I am going to take a poll at work today with my patients/residents (I think there are 14 on my list, but not all will be appropriate to ask) regarding who they want to have win the Superbowl. Do you have a team? I don't! I am very meh about it, and will be reading (after getting to the game late, as I still haven't shoveled or gotten out the door). Do you have a team?
08:01 am
Not really. We will watch it, however...just hoping to see some good football.
08:12 am
Go Eagles! Actually, I usually root for the Steelers, but since we live in the Philadelphia area and they are the other Pennsylvania team, I'm rooting for them.
08:23 am
Since the Bills aren't there today, we will be cheering for the Eagles!
08:35 am
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 Since I am Pennsylvanian, I suppose I shall root for Philly. However, I have no emotional ties nor true interest in any football team.
10:41 am
Nope. If I had to pick though, it would be the Eagles b/c my mom grew up outside of Philly and I still have family in the general area
10:50 am
We don't follow football, or any sport anymore...and neither the Cleveland, nor the Boston teams are represented, so I don't really care. Having said that, my first team of choice, as a little girl was the Chiefs, so against the status quo, I guess I'm rooting for them, despite my parents living in Philly...I never lived there (they settled there after I got married.), and I have no attachment to anything Philadelphia (except my parents, LOL). God bless😇😇😇
11:02 am
No skin in this one, so I just hope for a good game, entertaining commercials, and delicious tea and snacks!
01:22 pm
I'm a Charger's fan and I probably should root for the Chief's since they're in my division, but I'm rooting for the Eagles.
04:10 pm
I think this is the first year I just do not feel interested. I did a chili contest, shoveled snow, and are reading chat while listening to peaceful music. Fire in the fireplace, lights on my tree. I'm oddly content.
07:04 pm
good Morning! Hope all are enjoying the Spearmint!!
08:21 am
Happy Superbowl Sunday! Go Eagles! I got my father-in-law a shirt at one of the local pop-up stands yesterday.
08:24 am
Church is canceled for me today because everything is icy. I will enjoy a quiet Sunday morning at home with a pot of Scottish Breakfast. What's in your cup/pot this morning?
08:27 am
I just made a big cup of Brigadoon 🫖
08:34 am
Yummy! I just finished an 11+ oz Adagio Advent/Christmas mug of Brigadoon. Getting ready to re-steep before I start my morning religious activities. God bless, and have a wonderful day, Karen! 😇🙏🫖📚🍵🕯...
08:36 am
I'm sorry you can't get to church this morning, Anneke, but icy roads are dangerous. Enjoy your quiet Sunday morning at home, and your Scottish Breakfast. So good. God bless..😇🙏🫖📚...
08:38 am
Thank you, Marlicia. What about you? Will you be able to get to Mass?
09:37 am
I started my day with a cup of Keemun Concerto. It has moved up my favorites list. I followed it with a cup of Black Dragon Pearls. What a contrast in black teas. The dragons are certainly more sassy.
09:39 am
I started with Puerh Dante and now I’m having some Sencha.
11:39 am
I'm onto some Ghana Crio Bru Roast, now...but started the day with Year of the Snake.
02:17 pm
I started with a cup of Irish Stout and now having Lardera french roast.
04:00 pm
AY
I made a pot of Yunnan Noir.
04:04 pm
Anneke, I first sipped Twyla's wonderful blend, Cryptids of the Wood.
07:55 pm
Good luck to Mary! Spearmint is always a good tea to sip.
08:34 am
Happy birthday Jialin and Michelle! 🎉🎉
08:53 am
RM
Morning
09:03 am
I'm tackling the taxes today! Wish me luck!
09:20 am
Good luck!
09:48 am
PS
You got this!😊
10:06 am
You can do it Ruth! I’m still waiting on some forms so it will be a few more weeks here.
10:59 am
Same. I’ve got everything done but ONE FORM. I want that taken care of for the year!
12:18 pm
I am waiting on a form I am supposed to get after 2/15. Then I can turn everything over to our accountant.
07:57 pm
Good morning! Not a fan of either team, but will root for the Eagles since the Vikings aren’t there today.
09:30 am
PS
Good morning! Snowy, icy day today!🫖❄️
09:58 am
Happy Birthday, Michelle and Jialan!!
10:11 am
Happy Birthday! And good morning to all. It is 20 degrees here but I feel likes Spring is just around the corner. Some nice minty tea takes the chill off though!
10:29 am
Happy Superb Owl day! What is your fav type of Owl? GO BIRDS! Literally. Birds are awesome.
10:39 am
https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/superb-owls/?utm_campaign=Lab%20eNews%202024&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=346381789&utm_content=346381789&utm_source=hs_email - link actually courtesy of Alyssa. I just saw your question first 😝
12:16 pm
Awesome!! Listening now!
12:39 pm
Snowy Owl, Twyla, though I love pygmy owls also (I think they're called pygmy owls)..and basically, all owls, LOL God bless...😇🦉🦉😇
12:22 pm
I absolutely love Snowy Owls, too. I Love lil Screech Owls as well. Cuties. And those Pygmy owls are little toughies!! They are adorbz.
12:39 pm
Western screech owls and pygmy owls are adorable! I would love to have property full of owls.
03:28 pm
I love Snowy Owls but Barn Owls are so cute too!
01:02 pm
Snowy owls 🤍🦉 They're beautiful and the closest to what I imagine an owlbear looks like.
01:28 pm
I like burrowing owls the most!
04:48 pm
Screech owls are cool, I was terrified of the noise in the woods now I listen for them. They frequent as do barred owls, especially when you want to sleep. I always go to the window to watch for them. I seen the shadow of the barred once only.
07:07 pm
I LOVE barred owls! They're the only species of owl in North America with dark eyes! And I love their call. They say, "who cooks for you?"
08:55 pm
Owls have been making themselves super known to me lately, the image just popping up frequently! I enjoy sketching them.... How did I miss it was superbOWL day!
07:21 pm
That's a hard, I love them all. I think Barn Owls are my absolute fav, then Snowy Owls. Little Screech, Pygmy, and Burrowing Owls are super cute too.
07:42 pm
I love all owls but absolutely adore Tawny Owls.
08:01 pm
I did my senior research in undergrad using eastern screech owls so I have a special place in my heart for them, but my absolute favourite is the burrowing owl. There's a population of them in FL around where I grew up and while I never got to see them in the wild myself, I love how sassy they are.
08:54 pm
We were able to get to Mass, Anneke. The roads were much better than expected. No ice at all that could be discerned. Now we are bracing for stormy weather in the beginning to middle of next week. Definitely a rollercoaster of a winter. God bless and stay safe and warm. 😇🫖🙏🍵📚😇
10:57 am
Colder today and then three storm systems heading here. I just would like freezing temps and moisture to hold off until Wednesday. I’m working an election on Tuesday and bad weather makes for bad driving and few voters.
11:01 am
Having Year of the Snake this morning, to match the minty ToTD. 🍵🫖🍃
11:02 am

Good morning everyone!!!
11:22 am
Morning all! Guess what? Those who have been following my art adventures will be tickled to know that I now how tea sets up on my etsy! https://www.etsy.com/shop/FyreAndFybers?ref=seller-platform-mcnav Check it out if you're curious!
11:32 am
CARDS: Anyone seeking a Blue Moon Milk or Mocha Nut Màààt or some Zodiacs? I am seeking a Scottish Brekkie, but am open to anything really...
12:15 pm
I have a ton of zodiacs and mocha nut mate. Feel free to swap :) edit: oops I just reread and see I had it opposite. Whoops!
01:15 pm
Happy Sunday! Drinking all the tea and watching all the sports!
12:41 pm
Me too! Go sports!!

Happy Sunday to my dear friends in AdagioLand! I’m afraid I posted rather late yesterday for the east coast people so I wanted to tell you all about the tea I had yesterday. I had a cup of Marlicia’s wonderful Holiday Hot Chocolate blend, and let me tell you - it is soooo good! Of course it has chocolatey goodness, spices, and finely crushed candy cane. I really enjoyed it, as did my husband. I can’t seem to post working links to teas from my phone so if someone can respond to my note with the link, I would be grateful. Now it’s time to go to the tea stash and choose something for today. Let’s see now, eenie, meenie, minee, moe, which delightful tea will be a go! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for the wonderful shout out for my blend, Jan. I really appreciate it and I'm really glad that you and your husband love it so much. That makes my day! 😇 I'll try to post the link, but I've been having trouble doing that lately. God bless and thanks again...😇🫖🙏🍵😇 https://www.adagio.com/232814

That’s it, Marlicia. It worked! Dear tea friends, check out this yummy blend.

Good morning CommuniTEA 🌞 I love mint and until Adagio, didn't realize spearmint tea was so different from peppermint tea. I love them both and think spearmint tastes sweet in comparison.
01:34 pm
I love Spearmint Essential Oil too!! So good in Sprays & Diffusing it.
02:21 pm
I have both peppermint and spearmint essential oils at work and home.
03:25 pm
I’m saving the spearmint for a day when my stomach is upset. I had some Mayan Hot Chocolate Spice today.
01:38 pm
Bummed that my free week of Communitea is over, but I enjoyed the experience so much that I've ordered the box for March. I'll be back then! :D
02:12 pm

My CT Pic today is of these Cartoon shorts of "Stanis the Cat"...they are so hygge & have such nice ol' instrumentals put to them! The one I posted today had a big band instrumental of "In the Mood" over it. 😻❤

This morning when I took Sadie out for her potty break, I saw a couple of lizards on the stucco wall on the side of the house. One was medium sized and the other was much smaller. The smaller one was startled and started running across the wall when it fell to the ground, then hurried over to the patio near our BBQ, while the other one hid in the enclosure around our forced air unit. Then I sat in one of our recliner patio chairs and just spent time noticing the beauty of being outdoors. Our navel orange tree is currently loaded with oranges so I picked a couple, rinsed and cut them in wedges, and my husband and I each had the most delicious, sweet, and juicy treats! I really enjoyed those moments, especially since I haven’t been feeling the greatest this past week. I think I have turned the corner today and I feel very grateful to have had these moments to “stop and smell the roses.” Those moments are gifts, just waiting for me to notice them, and they are there all the time. I’m going to make a point of paying more attention.
04:13 pm
Moments of noticing what others might not are some of my most relaxing ones. And give a camera, hood Lord I'll never come in.
07:11 pm
Good afternoon, just enjoying a lazy day and a cup of tea.
04:31 pm
Have a pleasant afternoon all!
05:00 pm
Good afternoon waiting for the Super Bowl to start
05:03 pm
Sipping some Sencha before the game starts.
05:22 pm
I love Sencha. I had some earlier today.
08:03 pm

it's spearmint, what more do you want from me lmao

Wow, normally a lot of people online now, but seems everybody is off watching the superb owl!
06:32 pm
I already know that I will NOT be trying tomorrow’s tea - I am not a fan of anything hot or spicy, food or drink. 🌶️🥵🔥 I’ve already given my packet to my niece
06:41 pm
I love spicy food, but not sure about a spicy drink so tomorrow's is going to be interesting. I'm about to go heat my water for today's spearmint that I've been looking forward to all day now.
09:13 pm
Got a way too early of a morning tomorrow. Wish me luck, a 6 am wake up call is only an hour off from when I usually got to bed.
06:46 pm
Hi all
07:02 pm

Mister Mort, lover of leaves On birthdays, one never grieves With tea full of cheer We raise a cup here To you, Morty, on this reprieve. Happy Birthday, Mister Mortimer! Hope you are having a wonderful day.

Chili Cook off, the were 18 entries in all. I truly only liked about four of them. The winners, two employees, and a friend of the bar won. We aren't told our votes. There was a venison one with Barley but it was way too salty. I did try all 18 including: CBD , Butt Burner, White Cracker, Chili Nelson, Red hot chili propers, and more. The names are always unique.
07:24 pm
Football is so much better with volume turned off and music turned up. Just sayin… ☺️
08:05 pm
Today's tea is OK. Herbals aren't really my thing though. For me (as usual), this will probably be better sweetened.
08:29 pm
Last day at Superstars, headed home!
08:58 pm
Everything is better with honey
09:15 pm
Disappointing Super Bowl. Thought it would be more of a game
09:34 pm
Well the free trial I was given for February was over yesterday. From today until March 1st, I won’t get to participate with the tea of the day. However I sure do enjoy reading the chat and seeing y’all’s photos.
09:48 pm
You can't pay photos, but you should be able to participate in the chat. 😇
10:24 pm
GO EAGLES!!
10:23 pm
Good evening everyone!!
10:54 pm
Hope everyone enjoyed the game!
10:56 pm
So happy to see the Eagles win. The Super Bowl party we went to was fun and now I’m back home and ready to get into bed. I’m tired! I hope you all had a nice weekend. It is over too soon!
11:18 pm
So tired. Heading to bed. See y'all tomorrow.
11:36 pm
I'm not a sports person at all except maybe a few winter Olympics segments IF the commentators and commercials don't drive me batty. However, I got a small kick out of the Superbowl because two botanical gardens were betting on opposite teams with a special orchid or a prized trout lily going to the winner. I thought the currency was funny/fun. ;)
11:39 pm
Hope everyone had an enjoyable Sunday 😊
11:47 pm
Eagles for the win!!
11:50 pm
Was a busy day today. I just had a vanilla chai out today. I may have some spearmint tomorrow. Good night all.
11:52 pm
Village Emergency sirens blaring, thinking of our first responders as they handle the icy roads tonight with super bowl celebrations ending
11:58 pm
Sweet dreams
