I don't know about you but I love a good cup of tea! especially on a cold Winter evening. My favorite kind of tea is without a doubt Peppermint. What's your favorite kind?
~A Few Facts About Tea~
~There are many kinds of tea but they all come from the same basic plant, called Camellia Sinensis. The differences between teas comes from different ways of processing, growing conditions, and geography.
~Herbal teas are made from roots, stems, herbs and seeds of a various of plants. They do not contain tea leaves from the Camellia Sinensis plant, so it's not a "true tea." Most herbal tea does not contain caffeine.
~The plant Camellia Sinesis that produces all types of true tea can grow to over 30 feet high, but most tea plantations keep the plant trimmed to about waist-height so the leaves can be picked easily at harvest time.
~Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water.
~Tea is grown in a total of 36 countries around the world.

Peppermint tea is my favorite too:) I love drinking tea, especially during this time of year.
I love tea, and enjoyed reading all the neat facts. Orange Spice is my most favorite with Peppermint close following.
I think my favorite tea is red raspberry leaf. I also have really been enjoying Honey Vanilla Chamomile from Celestial Seasonings. Spiced Chai comes in a close third.
I love tea!
Especially mint tea, using leaves fresh from the garden!
I love mint tea!! I agree, gaden tea is very best!
I haven't always liked hot tea, but it has grown on me and now I can sit down and relax with a cup! (however, that doesn't seem to be often...) Anyhow, my favorite is raspberry or orange spice. :)

Thank you so much for your sweet comments... it really encourages me to hear from young ladies who are praying or have an interest in how God is working in my life. Thanks for stopping by!
Your blog is pretty! :) I love hummingbirds! :)
It looks like we have some of the same music choices... I love Steve Pettit's music, it is so God honoring!!
Stop by whenever you'd like. I post when I can. :)
Personally, my favorite tea is the one I make myself by steeping dried leaves from the mint plants I grow, then adding a spoonful of sugar. I'm not quite sure what kinds of mint they are, although I believe one is spearmint.
