greetings from Iowa

by nrstooge » Dec 2nd, '10, 22:12

My name is Nancy and I have become addicted to tea. I was a past coffee drinker, but due to health issues, have had to cut caffiene and the acids in coffee just don't agree with me. I have always loved a good tea as well, so I have switched and for the last few months I have noticed a change in my health (could be due also to a reduction in the amount of soda I drink).

My favorites are: English Breakfast, Earl Gray, Earl Gray Creme, Irish breakfast, I have a white earl gray that is really yummy too. My most recent forays have been into white and green teas. Vanillas and mints are also favs.

I am also a knitter, so nothing is better on a cold winter night than sitting and knitting while enjoying a cup of tea (or a good book and tea).

Welcome to TeaChat, Nancy. Hope to see you around the forum.

Please stop in TeaDay and share what is in your cup.

Welcome to our little corner of the web!

They may be a little harder to find in stores in Iowa, but if you hang around here a while you can learn about teas that you can buy from online sources that can help stem cravings for sweetness without needing added sugar like black teas--greens, oolongs, white teas. They can be quite habit-forming!
