Might as well face it, I’m addicted to Pukka Love…
I’ve been drinking so much of this stuff lately! It’s a tea called Love by Pukka ($6.95) that I get from the Vitamin Shoppe, but I’m sure it’s carried at other places, too. Design ho that I am, I picked it up first because of the box, but the description of the flavors is what had me sold: “organic rose, chamomile and lavender flower to warm your heart.”
Aww and NOM!
Imbibing this beautiful beverage is supposed to soothe, relax, and make you feel more balanced — all things I constantly need, haha! — and I love the taste. It’s a sweet aromatic floral like the lavender flower hard candies I used to get from the Asian grocery store down the street when I was kid.
It’s herbal and caffeine-free, so I can drink as much as I want throughout the day without getting the shakes, and for variety I’ve been alternating it with Celestial Seasonings Sweet Coconut Chai.
A cup of tea can be a simple way to show yourself some love…
Yes, that was very cheesy, but so true. 🙂

Kelly says
I don’t really enjoy tea notes in my fragrance. It gives me too much of a headache. I like vanilla and musk
Natalie says
I absolutely loved 2011! I am sure 2012 will be even more fab! Hope you have a fantastic 2012 as well Karen!
JE says
I like green tea the most.
auroragyps says
I am a huge fan of tea. I used to be more of an herbal tea drinker, but lately I’m in love with Earl Grey with a bit of sugar & milk. My Scottish ex-MIL would be shocked. I also love Chai teas, including Celestial Seasonings Decaf Coconut Chai.
Bethany says
I love tea! My favorite is passion fruit tea, iced, and with mint. I am also a fan or the Celestial Seasonings ( I know, a crime) Candy Cane Lane. It is a seasonal tea with peppermint and vanilla. Awesome!
Katherine says
Hope you have a happy holiday season!
Jessica says
I have attended high tea and it’s absolutely magnificent. Nothing beats the lovely sandwiches that accompany the tea 🙂
♥ Jessica
ashley says
all my girl cousins & i used to have tea parties with my grandma when we were young. we’d all wear bonnets (grandma had a million) & pretend we were in anne of green gables day.
Nika says
I’ve never been much of a tea person. I’m in a steady relationship with coffee. 🙂 Hope you’re having a great day today!
Melitina says
My favorite tea is Lapsang Souchong, a smoked tea from China, delicous!!!
Cassy says
Tea is one of those drinks I’ve never gotten into. It smells nice enough, but I can’t deal with the herbal-y taste. I don’t typically like fragrances that are TOO too earthy either. I do like when tea is mixed with things like fruits and flowers in shampoo, though!
Molly SC says
I really could use a cup of tea… mission time!!
stephanie shelton says
I HAVE attended high tea before! I was 12 years old & on a 10-day “educational” trip to London with my mom. Every day our hotel served high tea with scones and crumpets. Too bad this southern girl didn’t acquire a taste for any tea that isn’t ice cold until last year! The waiter caught on after the second day and would bring me hot chocolate instead. 🙂
I say, love, this tea you’ve described sounds jolly good! I wonder if I can find it in Alabama??
Alaina says
Aww. That tea looks and sounds lovely. My current favorite is Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla Rooibos Red Tea. It has a very dignified lion on the box. 🙂
tousledkitten says
I’m more of a coffee girl, sorry. XD
kellyanne says
I am a huge tea drinker and love Rooibos tea with some milk and sugar, but sometimes opt for urbal tea, mostly from Teavana.
Joanna says
I’ve been drinking alot of ginger tea lately to deal w/ holiday stress. It’s a simple thing that makes a huge difference.
jean says
I would totes buy that tea just for the packaging. In fact, I think I’ll get some today! Thanks for the rec 🙂
Tiffany says
My favorite tea is from teaopia…..it’s called cactus fig and smells wonderful. <3
Kim Pincombe Cole says
Not much of a tea drinker, but Chai is my favorite. Was just at Sephora this week, but somehow forgot to get my Nars blush – fail!
knownever says
Can’t wait till Xmas shopping is over and I can get to the good part of christmas. chilling with family!
Marivel says
Good morning T-Money & K-dawg! One more week till Christmas!
Claud says
I’m a classic earl grey type of girl! 🙂
And I also like some kind of herbal tea to help me sleep at night.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season Karen! 🙂 xox
Heather says
Aside from the fruit and nuts for the stockings, I am officially done shopping!
Kim Pincombe Cole says

heidi says
I have never attended high tea but “High Tea” by Mac is my favorite nude lipstick and soon to be the only lipstick I’ve ever finished. I would love to win a sephora gift card. Yesterday was my birthday! I’d probably buy some more MUFE aqua cream eyeshadows, my new and expensive addiction. Seperately we went to go see sherlock holmes yesterday. It was so good we saw it twice.
Amy D. says
I woke up this morning to a fresh blanket of snow!!! Woo Hoo! Finally.
Tiffanie says
I’ve never been much into tea but that sounds great! I’m more of a coffee girl…
Yuri says
I’m drinking coffee watching the news.. Why did I wake up so early hehehehe
Danielle says
Finished holiday shopping. Love sephora! Still trying to find the perfect nude lipgloss.
Shannon says
I’ve been trying to drink at least 3 cups of tea a day. Just wish I could go sans Splenda.
Erin says
I’m definitely a coffee drinker. I love the idea of tea, because it is oh so sophisticated…but it’s just not for me.
April VanZandt says
I was done Christmas shopping 2 weeks ago. I gave myself a budget,and stayed in it to the T. Amazing
steph b says
My mom took me to tea at the Plaza one day when I was off from school. I hadn’t read the Eloise books, but it was awesome. 25 years later, we still talk about it. More recently, I went to high tea at The Willard after the court hearing for my friend’s divorce. Was a great way to leave the past behind.
Stef Smith says
I’m a coffee drinker, just started, and I love it! But I want to like tea, mostly for the accessories, I collect vintage tea cups because they are so beautiful. It would be wonderful to actually use them!
Sunny says
I’ve tried Pukka but I find it a bit weak in taste! My favorite is Southern Mint Tea from Revolution tea. Their honeybush caramel tea is VERY nice too. See if you can find it near you! I love chai as well, but since an Indian friend brought me some from India I’ve been making my own!
Negative Nancy says
Just finished the last of the holiday stopping over lunch hour yesterday. Feels AWESOME to be done!
Hyzenthlay says
Hmm, my current favorite tea is a loose herbal, caffeine-free tea that I got when in Washington called “Sunset in Seattle.” But I also love Constant Comment, Stash Christmas Eve, Numi Earl Gray, Monkey King, and Moroccan Mint. For a LONG time I didn’t drink coffee, so I have tried and found many favorite teas!
Chrissy Kasper says
I love Apple, Orange, Cinnamon tea for this time of the year. I retweeted. I am @CorvsQueen on twitter.
Stephanie M. says
I love tazo chai tea. The kind that comes in tin boxes at Starbucks and looks like random yard trash in a cheese cloth bag. Its so spicy! Its the only chai I’ve found with black pepper. I make a latte using the concentrate and milk then put in one of those tea bags and its the best!
Vijaya says
I just had a soy peppermint hot chocolate! =D
Carol says
I’m not really big on hot drinks. Whenever I’m in Chinatown I always buy a cold tea drink. I love bubble tea: either regular milk black tea or coconut milk black tea. I also like cold fruit teas: apple green tea with lychee jelly and/or coco de nata is one of my favorite combos. Yum.
Christie Etzel says
I’ve just discovered that I really enjoy tea too…my current favorite is Twinnings French Vanilla Chai, but I’ll have to look for the pukka brand – packaging is so pretty!
Nora says
love tea
hate coffee
actually only like the smell of coffee
Stephanie says
I can’t drink coffee because it’s rough on my stomach, so I drink a LOT of tea. Earl Grey is probably my favorite and I also like dessert teas (especially this chocolate strawberry and cream one I got from Adagio).
Abigail Camarillo says
Ahhh I’m so excited 5 days left until my 19th birthday this would be the perfect birthday present, don’t you think? Lol.
Halifax says
Hope you and Tabs are having a good weekend. I am guessing he is ready for the holidays?
lillian omari says
Every morning i would wake up and have a cup of coffee. I would put in to much sugar and cream. I decided to try tea and now it is the daily must for me. I like chamomille tea and the lemon zinger tea i am going to have to try that coconut chai it sounds delish.
Angelica says
My mom drinks green tea like it’s her water. She introduced me to the Tazo Green Tea Chai, and its so good. I love chai, but I think it’s even better than the black tea.
Hannah says
I love black tea with a little milk and sugar!
Reema says
I love tea! I have an entire cabinet dedicated to my various teas.
shusheshe says
No coffee for me (I can’t stand the smell actually). Tea all the way!
Marilyn @ Lipgloss and Spandex says
I love relaxing with a cup of tea and reading a book, or a magazine or the newspaper 🙂 Weekend mornings are my favorite time to do that!
BooBooNinja says

Jasmine tea is my fave!
RayannaBanana says
I really like peppermint tea and I’ve been trying a new black tea with peppermint and cocoa it’s yummy. Though I like coffee a lot more!
Paula says
That coconut chai sounds delicious. I don’t generally like flowery teas.
Mary O. says
My favorite tea is obscure, but well worth it. It’s called ‘Rotes Grutze’ (or something to that nature) and it’s made by a great shop in the Boston area called TeaLuxe.
Lauren Sutherland says
I’m a diehard Marc Jacobs Daisy fan.
Kaianne says
I haven’t been able to do very much of my Christmas shopping yet because I’ve been busy studying for finals but I will finally be done on Monday and then I’m headed home for the holidays. Yippee!
Lexi DiCondina says
I personally like vanilla chai tea. 2011 was just fabulous, i met so many new friends, and got back into the makeup industry. I have finished all my holiday shopping. My friends and family are going to love my gifts i got them. They are more like stocking suffers, since im out of cash right now. But its the thought that counts 🙂
Loan says
classic green tea never gets old 🙂
jess says
I love simple flavors like chamomile mint and earl grey. i love coffee, but tea is a nice break from coffee!
Stephanie Liu says
Earl Grey is my favorite tea hands down! 🙂
Mariee says
The tea sounds great, love the packaging!

Kat says
I love the no-school or work part of the Christmas holidays, but I wish I could fast forward Christmas Eve/Day and New Year’s Eve.
Melissa Carla says
I love tea! I also have an audition for benefit cosmetics today. Im so nervous!
Alison says
Oof… still need to finish up the holiday shopping, for sure.

Michelle says
Love Tazo vanilla roobios tea!
Anjali says
I am a tea junkie! I pretty much like them all, except when they add fruity stuff in there …have you ever been to Teavana?
Sandy says
I love tea and drink mostly earl grey but also enjoy fruity herbal teas. I take my mom who comes in from out of town to high tea at Christmas each year and it is wonderful! Happy Holidays Karen, love your blog!
Cyra says
Ooh I love tea! I love constant commons tea. and sleepytime tea- it’s basically slightly minty chamomoile tea.
Katrina says
I’m more of a coffee fanatic. I do remember drinking tea with my grandma so many years ago, I thought it was the most feminine and grown-up thing to do. Especially when we used her “special” cups, fancier cups with saucers that weren’t used on a daily basis. And now I even have my great grandmother tea set, it’s pretty special.
Peggy says
Finished holiday shopping?!? That would entail starting holiday shopping (which I haven’t) LOL
Antonia Ataide says
Hummm… I suppose that it’s delicious! I like all kinds of teas, and this one seems so special!
Dana says
My new favorite tea is Trader Joe’s Vanilla & Cinnamon–the box has a lemur on it! I have to snap up as many boxes as possible because it’s a holiday blend!
Amber says
I prefer coffee, though I do drink tea when I’m sick.
Grace says
Wow, that tea looks delicious!
Louise says
Green tea is my fav!
irini says
I don’t know if this is a first but… I despise tea :O
K says
I really like the idea of tea, but I’ve never found one I like
Nicole says
I love hot tea, especially in the winter. My faves are whole leaf chamomile (at night) and chai (during the day).
Chelsea says
I don’t think there is anything better than a cup of Earl Gray with a spot of milk and sugar. That’s the way my English great-gran served it to me when I was little.
Coral says
Your post reminds me I need to invest in a kettle. I love my tea, but I usually forget the water is boiling till there is barely anything left.
Sara says
I adore vanilla chai!
Debbie says
I’m currently obsessed with Teavana teas!
Cecille says
Off I go to the mall to get my Christmas shopping started…..yup I said started and it is only 8 days away… Should have started earlier… I say that every year!

J says
I haven’t even started holiday shopping! Eeek!
Cindy G says
Lately I’ve been drinking chamomile tea with some fresh ginger and honey– it is so good!
hazakaza says
Aw man, I’m allergic to chamomile so I can’t drink that tea! My personal favorite is a Teavana one called Matévana. It’s a maté mix that is so choclatey and delicious it blows my mind!
Morgan Ibach says
Tea reminds me of my mom. :)) <3
Ruchita says
I love homemade (sweet) peach iced tea.
Sandra says
I love green tea, and lemon ginger tea two of my favorites.
Grace Solfest says
My favorite teas are the Holiday ones Trader Joe’s has every year, like Peppermint Green Tea or Cinnamon and Vanilla Black Tea. So delicious- and the packaging is utterly adorable!
Deana says
I love tea!
Lindsey says
I’ve seen Pukka tea at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods lately and have been interested in trying it- glad to see it’s got a positive review. I drink tea constantly in the winter and have a giant tea chest with several drawers in my pantry, and it stays well-stocked with a good variety. My favorite brand lately is Yogi because of all the savory spices.
quimerula says
I love chai!
DianaT says
I love tea!!!
Love rooiboos red tea, being pregnant it is a great tea!
I also looooove my vanilla chai teas by dk and I love yogi teas all varieties really. Sooo Soothing!!
Lauren says
Oh man–I almost bought that tea the other day, because it was on sale! Now I wish I had!
Cass says
My best friend and I do high tea together every so often. We live in the Boston area and have done all of the tea rooms in a 200 mile radius. It is just something we lose to do! If you like tea and haven’t tried it, you really should!
Nina says
I am a tea nut! I love chai tea, green tea, Darjeeling, basically any tea 🙂
Brianna says
I can’t wait to try that tea!
DalaLuz says
Sometimes I dream of fresh scones with clotted cream and homemade raspberry jam… Somehow everything tastes better in the proper surroundings of the English countryside, but I probably should stop being lazy and just pining and figure out how to make my day all by myself 😉 For starters, I’ll make some nice hot tea right now!
Laurenica says
green tea & celestial seasonings sleepytime 🙂
Kenda Keo says
I love Starbucks sweetened iced black tea! 🙂
Casey says
I love green tea!
Christina says
Heading to San Diego this weekend! =]
Lisa says
When I went to china this past summer, we passed a tea shop that sold something called “puer” tea. Apparently, the older this tea is, the better it gets and ours is supposedly 25 years old.
The taste is okay, nothing special to me however it IS housed in a fancy bottle.
Amber says
I’m an Earl Grey lover! Also love a good sencha or genmaicha.
MC says
Tea is for me the equivalent of coffee, it keeps me awake whenever I have to study late at night, it wakes me up in the morning, it stops me from eating at any moment and basically it makes me feel warm and comfy at any time of the day. My favorite is Earl Grey, with milk and sugar when I want it to be really sweet. Then it is green tea with a special thought for the wonderfull green/mint tea I had in Marrakech 2 years ago.
Melissa says
2011 wasn’t the best year for me and my family. I’m hoping and praying 2012 will be much better.
Kylee says
i love tea so much. its like all i drink, its just so calming

Christine says
i love green tea! 🙂
Kay says
I love black tea!
Carolyn says
I make (and drink) a pot of TJ’s organic green tea every AM. I drink iced tea all day most days and have been known to have tea in the afternoon or make a pot to enjoy after the sun goes down. This tea sounds lovely.
Yvonne Gajilan says
I haven’t even started Christmas shopping! I don’t know when I’m gonna find the time to do it :/
Monika says
Love tea! All kinds fromTazo to Celestial Seasoning and whatever is beteween. And Yogi teas are so good as well. I just don’t care when it is too cinnamony. Do not like that in teas and chewing gums. Baked goods are another story. Nice cup of tea can really do wonders….
jane says
I love my lemon ginger green tea! its from a small tea shop near our friends.Its the best!!
Heidi says
Currently loving Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Lane decaf green tea!

I like Chai tea and this flavor called Zen!
Talaga says
I love Tabs! I think your photos are genius. I definitely have lost track of time gazing at all the beautiful photos!

shopping nearly done and for some reason tea fragrances leave me with a stuffy head…though alot of fragances do unfortunately.
Ana says
That tea sounds divine! I personally love any tea with Chamomile in it 🙂
PS says

Jennifer says
I was just at Sephora at “Stonehenge” (Stoneridge) and picked up the MUFE 3-piece kit. And who color-matched me but the makeup artist who got a shout-out on the viral YouTube video of the model showing how she covers up her acne, How cool is that? Went to the Mall early and had no problems with lines EXCEPT for the idiot “gentleman” at the Macy’s Trim-a-Home registoer who came shopping without his Macy’s card.
Jaa Maurer says
I like Green/white tea with lemon and honey on it =)
Carolyn says
I attended high tea several times during my last trip to England. Scones with clotted cream–YUM!

Amber says
Gosh this is great timing! For the past day I’ve been tempted to purchase this YSL lipstick that I’ve been lusting over…I kept saying to myself “Don’t do it, don’t do it..” but here’s the thing…I wanna do it, girl! I’d love to win and have a guilt-free excuse to finally nab my lippie! THANK YOU KAREN (&Tabs too!)
danielle goerman says

Thanks for the contest! 🙂
Katie Coleman says
I’m a huge coffee drinker, but le hubz is definitely a tea man. He gets the usual every morning: Large Green Tea Hot with 4 Sugars from DD. I remember my grandmother always having tea for something-or-another…she would invite people over to have tea, want to talk about things over tea and she always gave me the sleepytime tea when I had trouble falling asleep. I like certain kinds of tea…I like Earl Grey and I looovvee the Christmas Cookie tea from Celestial Seasonings, but I can never find it!!
Emily says
There is still too much shopping to be done. I need to stop being such a procrastinator! Off to the mall!
Dominique says
I have so much Christmas shopping to do, but the cold weather is making me lazy and not wanting to go out. Think I’ll make me some minty tea to sip on. Happy weekend before Christmas. Maybe next year I won’t procrastinate, yeah right. LOL 🙂
The Blossom Shed Beauty Blog says
I’m a tea fanatic – I need black tea to function, but I love nice herbal teas as well – I’ll have to try and find that Pukka one, it looks gorgeous! When I was little I would spend part of the year at a London hotel famous for it’s afternoon tea – I thought that it was entirely normal to eat sandwiches off of a little tower every day and have pots of strong Darjeeling on tap. What a rude awakening the real world was!!
Morgan M. says
It’s finals week at school, and I’ve been meaning to make myself some tea just to have that moment to myself and to collect my thoughts and feelings. Thanks for the reminder!
Gracie says
I love the Pearl Milk Tea or Bubble Tea that I order from Asian restaurants. it’s delicious and refreshing. 🙂
Zmama says
I love the variety of flavored green and roobois teas at teavana!
Nadia A says
For the last two years, our wonderful neighbor has invited me to her annual Spring Tea Party. She invites her closest friends to tea at her house. We sit in her living room eating delicious food, drinking tea, and having delightful conversations. I thoroughly enjoy my neighbor’s tea party each year. Next Spring, my mother, motherin-law, and I plan to host our own tea party with our family and friends.
Iman says

I love tea, especially iced tea. the only kind I don’t like is cinnamon because I’m allergic. would love to go to high tea sometime.
Amy L says
i really enjoy creamy early grey tea 🙂 so delish! thanks for the contest!
A.T. says
Tea wise, I’ve been obsessing over English Breakfast Tea. We got a Keurig last summer, and Celestial Seasonings take on the blend knocked my socks off. I tried Twinings, but it was more bitter, and a weaker flavor…
I also dig Chai, although my first was Oregon’s I’m pretty content with any brand’s Chai. I did have to lay off drinking it much though – it was giving me the shakes (which was very saddening, as I looooved it…), so now it’s a very occasional treat. Perhaps I can consume it again now, though, as my coffee consumption has skyrocketed in the last few months.
Joanna says
I love green tea. 2011 has been a bit challenging but, I survived 🙂
Diana Thompson says
We drink cold black tea with just a touch of lemonade mixed in, only drink hot tea when we have a cold or are feeling down. Thanks so much for the giveway!!! Diana
Marian says
Lately, I’ve been srinking a lot of Twinings Chai or Bigelow Cinnamon tea. I also love a good oolong.
I’m not big on green tea. I prefer blacks.
Marian says
that’s drinking!
Kate & Zena says
It snowed here (and I HATE IT!!!!) It’s so cold now!!!!!!!

PinkGlitter says
I have one or two more gifts to pick up but I am mostly finished. I started buying early this year (October) so it’s nice to not have to rush last minute.
Jess Katz says
Do you ever drink David’s Tea? Creme Brulle and Forever Nuts are my fave flavours! But I just love going in there and smelling all the teas and seeing them so perfectly color co-ordinated in their tins. Gives me shivers every time! I’m kinda nerdy like that. Haha.
Lauren says
I absolutely love tea- especially when drinking it from an Anthropologie teacup 🙂 English teatime is one of my favorites!

I love my morning cuppa of ginger chai! Nothing spells winter better 🙂
Kate says
My latest fave tea flavor is Lipton’s Green Tea Superfruit with Purple Acai and Blueberry. I’ve been searching for a good blueberry tea after sampling a cool version at Teavana over the summer. When I saw the box with 20 bags for under $2, I knew I just had to give it a try! Some fruity teas are cloying in aroma and taste, but this one is a great balance! I’m glad to have it to reach for this time of year instead of cookies every time I want something sweet!

Roxanna Harris says
Chai tea and green tea all the way! (though coffee is still my fave!)
Stephanie R says
I haven’t had tea in a while, but was sipping on my husband’s Orange Spice tea the other day. This reminds me that I should get back into the habit of sipping teas more often, since it’s mostly water and not bad for you like soda is.
Nikki M says
Thanks so much for all the posts for the new collections! I love all the swatches and, although it’s not helping my daydreaming wallet, it helps me decide what to splurge on.
I also loveee your cat’s pictures, they’re hilarious!

Being olfactory obsessed, I love tea notes in fragrances. My fave tea fumes are BPAL Dorian (sweet earl grey and a bit of gentleman’s cologne), L’Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two (for chai tea lovers), and Blood Concept B (Black Russian tea sweetened with cherry syrup).

mn says
I am most definitely a coffee person although I did get a box of the coconut Chai on your recommendation but have yet to try it. A few years back my friend made homemade Chai form me- with spices and black tea her mom brought from India – and I have to say that nothing beats authentic homemade Chai tea.

Ugh. I hate tea. 🙁
Have you ever attended high tea before?
Nope.
How would you summarize 2011 for you?
Well, given that my husband was unemployed for about half of the year, I’d say that it was mostly filled with anxiety and worry. We’re doing a lot better now though! (He has a new job.)
How do you feel about fragrances with tea notes?
Favorably. I hate the way tea tastes but I do like the smell.
Have you finished all of your holiday shopping?
Not quite; still have a couple items to pickup at the mall this week.

Katie says
Just finished cleaning the first floor of the house after seven hours! …Gotta do the second floor tomorrow.
That mug! I saw it at Anthropologie yesterday. Those letter-printed mugs are pretty.
nekosan says
I love chai – made from actual tea, not that icky sickly sweet syrup based chai. I like using tea from an Indian grocery store (Taj Mahal, Red Label), and adding freshly crushed cardamom pods and freshly grated ginger. (Also freshly crushed or ground cinnamon, cloves, maybe a small amount of black pepper, depending on my mood.). Oh, and a good amount of milk,of course!
Eileen says
I’ve been drinking lots of green tea to try to keep from snacking on all of the high calorie holiday foods. I have yet to finish my shopping but maybe I should give out tea as gifts! 😉

i love sephora!
Beauty Smarties Blog says
Love Sephora! It’s my one-stop makeup destination.
Soo says
I love chai teas and Strawberry Misaki from Teavana, which I think is a white tea..? 2011 was alright for me. I’m proud of myself for phasing out watermarks on my blog. it was a huge hindrance to blogging and I don’t have much of an archive to show for it. I’m trying to break old habit by forcing myself to focus on what’s more important right now. blogging’s become much more stress free because of it, and I’ve actually gotten more determined to keep it up instead of just being mopey and wallowing in self-pity. here’s to another year of growth!
Becky says
I love the yogi teas. My favorite is breathe right!
Cindy says
I love the Tazo Zen tea. Amazing.
Lesley says
I drink mint tea all year round. No the kind they sell in stores because none of them get the taste right. There are also a quabillion flavors of mint. Plain mint only. Not spearmint, peppermint or even chocolate mint (great for dessert garni but not for tea). I grow my own in my yard and harvest all season long. Freeze it and have enough to last all winter. It’s amazing and great for your digestive system. I drink Morrocan style, which is a weaker black tea, sweet and infused with mint ( nana). I have turned so many people onto this and NO one has not loved it. I’m not quite sure how it would work out for a scent or part of. The mint smell is sweet and sharp at the same time but a lifetime of toothbrushing would have me associating it with dental care than parfum. If anyone could do it it would be ELdO, DSH and I coudn’t resist if Uncle Serge took a hand.
VictoriaJane says
Did high tea at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C.-really special! At home, we just drink black tea (with milk & sugar)-flavored teas don’t really seem like tea to me. I like Tazo Awake.
Jasmine says
I love the Pike Place Market Tea – it’s spicy! Like drinking a Hot Tamale candy. I would love to learn to do traditional Japanese tea service – between my love of makeup and tea I may have been a Geisha in a former life.
Lucy Lu says
I’m a big tea drinker. I like green tea in general but in the mornings, black tea helps me wake up~

Have to get up early monday morning to pick up several relatives coming from abroad and continue to do that until Thursday. In the meanwhile I must finish shopping for everyone. By the time I’m finished I will need that Chamomile tea to chillax.

My favorite type of tea actually depends on my mood! I love the Twinings brand Lemon and Ginger tea and I always add in some honey and a splash of lemon juice. Now if Im in that mood where I just need to relax I always go for my Vanilla sleepy time tea… of course with added honey… awesome!!!

Good and very informative post. I will come back to your blog regularly. One thing: I do
not exactly know what do you mean in the second paragraph. Could you please explain
your opinion?
Heather says
As a matter of fact, my tea group has been getting together for about 6 years now, and we meet up at a different tea place every 2-3 months. We had our holiday tea service this afternoon at Crown & Crumpet in the Fisherman’s Wharf area of San Francisco, which is a toursty hell for us locals. Tea was great though – yummers!

XicanaQueen says
I Loooove Green Tea! <3
Amanda G says
There are several Vital Leaf tea shops in SF, but the one on Grant Street between Pacific and Jackson is my absolute fave. There’s nothing like getting tons of free tea tastings and meanwhile being harassed by the unspeakably awesome Uncle Gee, who runs the company with his son. Try the Blue People ginseng oolong. To. Die. For.
Audrey H. says

I’ev had my holiday shjopping done for a week or two, which feels really good. Other than that, 2011 has been rather a bust. I feel like I;m just treading water, y’know? I’m hoping to have a bit more direction in 2012. Either that or win Lotto, LOL.

KAREN!
So, my friends and I are playing secret santa. Gifts are supposed to be under $15.00. All I could think to get the guy I got was a red Christmas-themed thong from Vicky Secret! I hope he tries it on, if only for the laughs! I figure he can always have his girlfriend wear them in the end.
The tea looks DE-LI-CIOUS! Need! Imagine how good we’re doing our ourselves putting all those healthy flowers and herbs in our body! mmm
YOU WOULD MAKE THIS GIRL VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HAPPY IF SHE WON!!!!

I need to drink more tea. But somehow it only appeals to me when travelling out of country. Here at home it’s a latte in the morning.
christine says
Using fresh aloe from a plant serves as a great and free mosturizing mask!
Darlene says
When I do drink tea I’ll have green tea. I should really have it more often, because I hear it’s better for your health than coffee. So happy our soldiers are coming home. Merry Christmas & a happy 2012 to all 🙂

BeckBeck says
I’m a fan of the Bigelow flavored black teas – they do a lemon, a raspberry, a vanilla, a cinnamon… there are lots of choices and they’re not too expensive.

Hi! I love tea, my fave would be chamomile, but lately at work i’ve been drinking ‘stash’ green tea, its a mix so the flavor is mild, and delicious! I hope I can find that love tea you posted, it sounds so good and has a blend of all the teas I like. 8)

Happy Holidays

I love traditional Indian Masala Chai.

My cousin spent over $110 on tea from Teavana. I think it’s safe to say I’m never gonna buy tea from there! 😛

These days I am really loving Trader Joe’s Vanilla & Cinnamon black tea with honey and soy creamer… but I keep making the mistake of drinking it before bed… wah-wah. I need to pick up a nice herbal like yours!
Monika says
My dad buys this loose Earl Grey tea that has flowers in it. It’s called Cream Earl Grey Tea, and it’s delicious!
Angie says
Went to sleep with my makeup last night and of course, woke up with a big pimple under my skin >:/ I heard I can use a tea bag to bring it out, will have to try that out.

kaela says
genmaicha for sure. used to live in tokyo. have had more green tea and oolong cha than most people will drink their entire lives. love formal tea ceremony.
Nikki T says
I love these lil’ giveaways, they’re so generous, which is something I feel this world is short on, even during the holiday season.
On a lighter note, I can’t wait to hang with my friends Filipino family. I’ve become addicted to ambrosia salad, lumpia, sinigang, baked salmon, and adobo. It may not be the prettiest food, but it certainly is delicious. Also can’t wait for the karaoke!
linda says
I want to get some new tools from sephora.
Jenn says
I love Starbuck’s Chai Tea Lattes– although I’m not sure they technically count as teas. My current fave is Lupicia’s Sakurambo Vert, which is a very berry green tea. You’ve got to try some of Lupicia’s teas sometime, Karen, because they are very delicious! 🙂
john says
I love these sephora giveaways
Janet says
I love milk tea! But with tea bags, I’ll usually go for green.
