Is there life without tea? Not for me.

I think I have had a few sips of coffee. I HATES it. A lot. All coffee, doesn't matter what you do to it. I do like the smell of some good beans, just like I like the smell of tobacco (pre burning).
I do like hot cocoa, but I guess I drink Tisanes more. They are sorta part of my tea-ing sometimes.
Actually, for the last few days I have been drinking up some old Mint Mate so I can have the tin for other things. Almost done with it.

I usually will reach for either an herbal tisane or a rooibos (Is a rooibos not considered a tisane?)
I voted for herbal tisane, since foxtrot is my favorite hot beverage to reach for, other than tea. I have only tried red rooibos, and am eager to try green. I see there is also something called honeybush rooibos, but I do not know what that is. It is available on dragonwater.com
My coffee habit is history. I can't even stand the smell anymore when I walk past the beans in the grocery store.
This morning I was feeling under the weather, and still feeling unadventureous with my teas. I had 2 cups of adagio's casablanca, which I always enjoy. Tomorrow I hope to brew some different senchas with my husband.
Happy tea day, everyone!

I can second that with hot chocolate to back up my other vote. I think we're up to 3 for hot chocolate now.Scarlet Glow wrote:The only other hot beverage that I go for, other than tea, is hot chocolate.
I have not gotten into herbals or rooibus yet. Dang, I'm such a slacker!

I used to be a coffee drinker, but the caffeine was too much for me and it tended to give me a stomach ache. I still drink it occasionally when I need a caffeine boost. I enjoyed strong, black coffee, which is why I think I have been enjoying black tea in the morning.
Now, outside of tea, I drink Rooibos and tisanes. I've been enjoying Vanilla Rooibos or Foxtrot nightly as a caffeine-free tea alternative.
I started today with Russian Caravan to see how it did in the morning. It is working so far as a wake-up tea.
