So goes the saying by a tea maker. It caught my attention because I have decided to heed the advice of my daughter who tells me that tea is good for me...it lowers blood pressure, helps you to lose weight, regulates insulin, is an anti-oxidant, will make you feel good, and helps to reduce the caffeine intake because the caffeine levels are lower. So I made the decision to enjoy my one cup of soul-satisfying coffee in the morning and then drink tea the rest of the day. Today was the first day. I've enjoyed red tea (rooibos) and chai tea and tonight will have some peppermint/spearmint tea. I will try to incorporate green tea in my diet at least once a day. So why do I still want/wish for/crave a good cup of mellow, cream filled cup of joe? Why does just the aroma of brewing coffee seem to make the day complete? I can only hope that as time goes on, I will begin to see tea as a soul-satisfying beverage just as coffee is. I will have to keep you posted on this.

Nothing will take the place of a good cup of coffee, especially in the morning. So far I haven't found any tea that turns me on! I probably wouldn't make a good english person. Isn't there as much caffine in tea as coffee. Check this one out.
This is great, Me. You and I can have and enjoy cups of health-giving tea when we are together. Never having been a coffee adict, I can't sympathize, but I agree with daughter that tea IS the best!!! There are so many lovley options, and I'm sure with time you will find your personal favorites!!! I'll bet the coffee companies are going to really miss you, Me!!!! C
Have you all seen these people's teeth? Seriously now. That would scare any person into remaining true to the dark brew any day! This is insanity. People here are lucky to have all their teeth at 30! And the primary difference between us and them is this very tea vs. coffee issue! We were smart to throw it out 200 years ago, let's not reverse 200 years of progress.
