Teavana

[Piplula 709]

Ok..so I was in Nashville with the hubby for him....found out he has hyperthyroidism..he has always been able to eat anything and be thin..well now we know why! I always thought he was the lucky one...and now I feel some guilty about that..anyway....I found Teavana a specialty tea store. I tried the Youthberry and fell in love....so I would recommend trying it out if you have one in your area...it's a delicious way to get your fluids in! Expensive ..but for me worth it!

Nice site, order on line. http://tea.teavana.c...word=Youthberry

I am bogged down and into coffee to much, think of this type thing a bit more these days.

I got the Youthberry orange blossom tea...delicious..and I did add a little honey but you could try stevia or agave nectar as well.

[BeGuiled 36]

Sounds like a plan but adding also a start to doing tea and adding not only flavor to cafiene, even non-caf stuff and bit of health.

i might see that I like this soon and trust the youthberry orange blossom as well, why not.

Thanks

Hey there again Piplula , hope you see this,

I am excited to say I am getting an order I made direct from the Teavana site on Monday, includes a teacup+enfuser. I have some black tea blends now, wow, it's all good, I have no need for coffee at all since more than a few days back. I got some herbal for post op in this shipment too, a few 2x 2oz. diet teas and a couple more. I figured to buy in 2oz. bags to keep it fresh and use it like that with no canisters around but what the hay, I may go much further with this post op and back into cafiene.

Thanks, this was a huge jump start for me to get the tea and its great now doing it.

I am so glad you are enjoying your tea! I have been enjoying mine very much! I find tea is easier on my sleeve than coffee, although I do partake in Joe Muggs as often as I can....sugar free of course! I am heading back to Nashville this week and will be dropping by Teavana again...I will check out your recommendations! I hope you are well! Take care! Let me know if you get more flavors..I will try them!

Hey again, I am following your leads on this, I went more for basic and for quantity first time around. I don't know that this is a great herbal or not, I want the youthberry orange though with out being able to say just yet, that's next time I shop on line and purchase there. I let you know when I tried all the stuff,but basically Honeybush is just another kind of tea, this one should be good as I did like my sample from Teavana fine and expect that it is, just saying that you'll know better than I having that store there and I bet they have taste samples on site, ooooh, thats sounds good little bit of a thing to do.

Thanks, I'll keep watching this post for any update.

I am also a Teavana drinker. My absolute favorite is the Golden Monkey... well it was before my sleeve surgery. I'm not normally a fan of herbal teas but I did get a few to try. My question is when you drink any of your teas do you use sweetener? I use to use the rock sugar. Now i have issues with the sugar subs they leave an off taste. Do you have any suggestions? They'd be greatly appreciated!

[BeGuiled 36]

klperry, I don't ever use sugar, quit a long time ago with that. I am using organic agave Syrup and milk, agave I bought but it costs, you can get a lesser priced agave syrup at the market.

Heres a catch though, I also have been using just Equal and add lemon juice and this is how I plan to drink it post surgery with herbal teas. I have only some black tea blends I had gotten and add to a banana creme black tea the agave but I have also a couple others and one is lemon flavored and I add a touch more lemon juice and equal. I like it fine both ways, the agave is nicer but costs in calories (not like sugar would even more) equal would not have any calories.

I am sorry but the sugar you use I don't have a craving to use it and am quite used to these things instead, I fear you might feel its real plain to have it with equal and lemon juice but thats what I'd bet is best for you now.

Tea is on !

I bought four kinds, Slim and Slender, My morning Mate, Spiced Manderin Oolong, Honeybush vanilla. I have also a sample of Maharaja Samuri Chia. Got a one use rock suger too, I never will use it though.

The " Slim and Slender " diet tea needs to be drank in the long term for effect, I have 2 weeks for this that is if it lasts. it is suposed to inhibit the cells from taking on fat while being a metaboliser and apetite surpressant all from this mix. Started with this one to see whats the taste about, it smells real greeny and herby, it has a bunch ingredients giving it that scent and 2 teas mixed, Mate Green and pu-erh black tea, the scent from nettles.

So, that being said,

it tastes different, kind of as it smelled, like a more than just mild taste of a cristmas tree in a cup, lol. May be efective, can't really just now say. Yea, I can drink it daily once a day or something with out being disgusted, I don't expect that its a good tea to get out of bed with at all. It may just be that its purpose in whole is just for a die hard dieter. I added agave and ff milk to it.

I'll write again on the others but will be slow to get to any, starting with the My Morning Mate along with a daily of this up until nearly probably my surgery next month.I'll let you know that if I think it helped me stay down in the pounds as i am suposed to diet now. gees, I feel like tea critic here.

Although I am going back to Nashville Thursday...so I think I will drop in and see what else they have...not so big on the Chai...and whatever you do do nit buy white chai...it's awful!
