Hot tea is WONDERFUL!

anonemouse · October 6, 2007

I just got my UPS shipment from Twining's today, with my six different types of tea. Love, love, LOVE the Prince of Wales blend. I'll have to try the others tomorrow, since I got some that I hadn't had before.

I just got that powdered peanutbutter today, PB2. That stuff is GREAT! I added 1/2 serving to my chocolate Matrix and it was GREAT. Not sure I'd want a full serving in there but half was wonderful. I'll be sending you some via snail mail.

Sounds great! I'm going to see if I can order some Da Vinci cherry Syrup. I bet that would be good in the Matrix.

I think I have cherry. If I do I'll send you some of that. You want strawberry, raspberry, and cherry? I'll look and make sure.

Ok.. in respect to this.. I have read on here several times about hot tea/soup/etc 'opening' you.

I've never tried it..

But I have tried to sabotage myself the other way around. I try to drink iced tea before a meal in hopes of 'shrinking' it.

LOL.

I think it's from my months of lack of restriction.. but it's become habit. Does it work this way? I can't say I honestly notice if it's done anything or not, but based on the logic of heat opens it, seems like cold should.. shrink it.

SHRINKAGE.. ever see that episode of Seinfeld

I like being too tight to get certain things down, keeps me in check.

For me it's just like Seinfeld... sometimes. Anything cold and spasms kick in and nothing goes down. Yet other times if I am stuck and foaming cold SoBe works wonders. It makes no sense.

It opens me up. I can't eat anything comfortably in the morning without having something hot first.

Tea recommendation, for anyone interested: Adagio Teas, available at Adagio Teas.

They've got tons of teas available. If you can dream it, they have it. And the best thing is that they have sample-size tins of each one available.

Tea just has a soothing effect on me. Whenever i feel nauseated, or that tight feeling in the morning i just drink some hot tea and it feels so much better afterwards.

Gahhhh... tea is nasty. Tastes like something that didn't taste good to begin with just watered down. Wish I liked it, but I don't.

It really depends on the type of tea. Some teas are completely nasty (I tried a green tea today that literally tasted like liquid grass), but some are really good. There are so many different types of teas, different blends, flavors, strengths, etc., that you just have to try a bunch to see what your tastes are.
