In recent years, blueberries have garnered much attention as a nutrient powerhouse. This may be so, but to us, they are delicious little jewels that shine in our lightly fruity, caffeine-free green rooibos. We've added blueberries, cranberries, rosehips, hibiscus and raspberry leaves for a tasty, berry-licious treat.
Made it through another long day. Now for dinner and crashing. Have to get up early tomorrow for a meeting. Bleh.

Thank you, Rebecca, for posting that article yesterday. I just finished reading it and found it very enjoyable. π«

You're welcome. I enjoyed knowing that someone else thinks our little CommuniTea is special too. Perhaps we'll gain a few more tea friends as well. If anyone else wants to read it...https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/best-tea-subscription-box/

Rebecca, thank you for reposting. I missed it yesterday. An article like that, is how I found Adagio originally. And at one time I had subscriptions to all five of the services listed there plus a couple more. Currently, I still have three different subscriptions for tea and a couple for art supplies so I guess I'm a subscription addict. It's a great way to try new products that you might not otherwise buy. And our CommuniTea is a very special place, it's really my first foray into social media, and what I loved about it the most is how kind and lovely everyone is. None of the snarkiness often found on the general purpose platforms. I suppose it depends upon a person's interest but I found that tea lovers and artists are really wonderful people.

Wonderful, Dorothy! So exciting to watch your children grow and experience the same things we did at their same age.
01:40 am
How sweet! Have a great time together before she goes. Would love to see a picture of you two.
06:02 am
I'm sure that's exciting and probably somewhat saddening, too.

Oh my! How fast they grow up. I hope she makes some glorious memories.

It is also Audubon day, so go watch, sketch, or photograph some of those birds we love! After that you can learn about hairballs, for hairball awareness day OR plant a tree for arbor day!
05:56 am
Is it really Audubon day? I didn't know there was such a thing. I love birds and we've got a lot around us. I'll try to take special note of them when I'm out and about. I think I'll pass on learning about hairballs, LOL...we don't have any cats. God bless....πππ

Happy Friday, oh ye lovers of tea. I hope you are hanging in there and ready for weekend frolics. Hubby and I will be staying in today as he still needs to keep out of the sun, so it will be a bit of cooking and cleaning for me. Our day will start with Autumn Darjeeling for hubby and Apricot with a bit of Fiery Cinnamon Spice for me. Laddie says he will have his usual...a lovely bowl of fresh water and his special Aging Brain kibbles. He would like to know...what's in your bowl?
06:58 am
Good morning, Mary. Happy Friday. Every once in a while it's nice to have a stay-in day, although I'm sorry if it's not completely voluntary. I hope your husband is able to get out soon. In the meantime, it sounds like you have a nice, productive, day planned, with delicious tea to kick it off. Tell Laddie I have Ginger Pumpkin bread in my bowl (and Chocolate Mocha Tea for Ze Little Grey Cells in my cup, LOL). https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=93116 God bless and have a super day. π«π΅ππΆπππ

Laddie says the Ginger Pumpkin Bread sounds fantastic, and he's all for increasing ze little grey cells (hence his aging brain kibbles). He sends puppy kisses and tail wags.

Good morning everyone!!!

I am going to hold today's tea until late afternoon and go with cocoamint green this morning as it's been an interesting am! The cat we adopted last week is starting to show his personality. And his personality is to go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at 5 am if his plate is empty. He was in a foster home before for a while and had been hand fed with his siblings at the vet as they were found bagged up at like 3 weeks on the side of the road. Thankfully, someone stopped! The stories these rescues have are astounding to me. I worry when I don't feed them on time and you have people shoving them in bags. UGh.
08:44 am
Happy Friday!! Really enjoy todayβs tea for a non-caffeinated sip in the evenings.
09:21 am
Good morning! In honor of allergy season, it seems appropriate to share today's calendar fact: "You can sneeze faster than a cheetah can run."
09:29 am
Oh, I've been meaning to ask. What's your favorite Tea Talk countdown gif? I think I'm partial to the David Tennent one, though I like the Beatles one, too.

Good morning! Sitting at my desk straining milk kefir and sipping a cuppa Yunnan Jig with lemon (used up the very last of my YJ stash and added it to the reorder list). I think this is a great time for a State of the Stash post! My fellow Tealovers -- DDTS (Drink Down the Stash) is working!! Several of my PBTs (plain black teas) need to be reordered: Assam Harmony, Keemun Rhapsody, and Yunnan Jig are all gone. And I have like 2 tsp of Tie Quan Yin Black left....but only sample packets available on the master's site. Hope it comes back in stock soon!! On the flavored side, I have used up about half of my ponderous stash of chestnut tea. Going to keep cold brewing chestnut as it's delicious and will use up that older tea so I can restock with new. I am continuing to sip down my Christmas season tins of Cranberry, Candy Cane and Gingerbread to refill tins with fresh tea. I need to reorder Pu'erh Tahiti and decaf blueberry....all gone! And, alas, due to a Tea Mishap (don't you hate those!!!), I need to reorder Campfire S'mores. I dropped my tin and it spilled on the floor....luckily there wasn't much left. For Herbals, I have Berry Cream Compote on my next order. The tin is getting sparse! Next phase of DDTS is to sip down my fandom tins and start refilling them with fresh tea. I order the big tins of my favs.....but I forget to rotate my tins and forget I have some great teas in my tea cabinet! Some I have been putting off drinking because the fandom was discontinued for one reason or another.....trying out replacement blends of my own to refill those tins. That's the State of the Stash -- July will make the start of Year 3 on my efforts to keep my tea stash in order and fresh :) When I moved to CO in 2022, I had so much tea it filled up a shelf, my tea cabinet and my two large desk drawers, plus part of a kitchen cabinet. All my tea now fits on the tea shelf and my tea/coffee bar cabinet. It's sorted by type, and I keep track of what I have and what needs to be re-ordered. I have a lot of tea, and I will always have a lot of tea. :) But the large stash is SO much better when I know what I have, where it is, and how old the tea is. So much better! Progress has been made!! More to come!
09:42 am
Brilliant, Julie! Well done!
10:27 am
I love the feeling of emptying one tin and refilling it with tea in bags. I need to do more DDTS of the Christmas small tins.
11:42 am
Your DDTS updates are always an inspiration to go through my own tea cabinet for anything that might be neglected. I always look forward to them!
11:48 am
Morning, friends! Having some Assam Melody with Valentines blend, this morn ππΉβ€οΈ!
10:02 am
Good morning! Sipping some peach matcha this morning.
10:06 am
Happy Friday! I like blueberry and will be adding today's tea to my cart for iced tea this summer. I like green rooibos and I hope Adagio keeps coming up with more delicious options. Which green rooibos blend is your favorite? I haven't tried them all, but Cranberry Cream from Frosty's Faves was delicious and needs to be available again! Cheers π«π΅π
Thanks for sharing, Michelle. ((I, too, have stopped wearing dresses--over the past 4 or so years.)) Yes... I felt such a connection and such comfort to that artwork. It seems such home-y and inviting scene...
10:58 am
Twyla, in spite of my rubenesque figure, I just can't beat the comfort of yoga pants. It's funny, my mom never wore pants in her life, she'd even putter out in her garden in dresses, and they were always pretty things no mumus for her. Even in our mild climate I don't think I'd like having cold air blowing around my legs. Yes that artwork is very homey and inviting, I wish I could pop over for a bowl of whatever she has cooking.
11:06 am
I love it, too! I also love that the kitchen looks like an actual kitchen, where real people live and cook. I see all these spotless kitchens with empty counters online and sometimes forget the beauty of my own homey kitchen, with spices on the back of the stove and mismatched towels, just like the painting.

a few years ago I had an FBI agent come to my house to ask me a few questions about a friend that was applying for a job that required a security clearance. Our house is a modest house built in the 1950's. He came in and sat down at the table and said that he loved our house. It reminded him of his grandmothers house and her house always felt 'homey'. That was the best way someone could describe our little home.
