Tea addiction...? No! Tea is just great to collect and drink 😉
Hi everyone,
I think we all know that it is very important to drink enough. I never was someone who liked water. I hate water 🙈 But drinking only soft drinks is not healthy.
A few years ago I found my love for tea and it got a little addiction 😎 Whenever I was shopping I bought new tea. My mother-in-law also gave us tea for every occasion like birthdays, Christmas, Easter, or whatever. And I also got lots of tea from food sharing...
I don't know why, but I lost my love for tea. Maybe because I got too lazy to make them. I bought instant tea or vitamin effervescent tablets. Both were quick to make and were already cold because I only drink cold tea.
A few weeks ago I found my love again and since I still had plenty of teas in my storage room, I took them all out and put them in my kitchen cabinet.
I only drink fruit teas, rooibos teas, and a few herbal teas. I don't like green or black teas.
I always sweeten my tea with sweetener and no sugar. I use 3 pieces for 1 liter.
Previously I used 1.5-liter tea cans, but as we got a new dishwasher, they didn't fit in it. I had to clean them manually.
Because they were old, I wanted to buy new ones, and still knew that I have to wash them manually. Then I got an idea.
I'll use measuring cups. They can withstand hot water and they fit in the dishwasher.
And if I have only a single bag of a sort left or I have a "special tea" then I use my favorite cup. A 0.5-liter Micky and Minnie Mouse mug 😍
Otherwise, I have my 0.5-liter cup.
No, I really DON'T like football, but I loved the mascot of the FIFA World Cup of 2006 and so I bought a few of these cups 😁
Most of my teas are in bags, but I also have a few loose teas. For these teas, I have tea filters for single use but I prefer the one for multiple uses.
Get ready for my tea collection...
Are you interested in what teas I currently have? Yes? Then here they come... No? Sorry, they still come here... 😂
I start with my loose teas...
Yes, I love peach and passion fruit tea 😍
I also had a few leftover tea bags in my teabox
And then I have all my boxes of fruit tea in bags...
The most I have is from "Teekanne", a German brand.
- "Cheeky flirt" (pomegranate-blackberry)
- "Hot Love" (raspberry-vanilla)
- Caramel Apple Pie
- Blueberry Muffin
- Moroccan mint
- Turkish apple
- "Country lust" (currant-apple)
- "Mara de Cuja"
(peach and
passion fruit *again* 😂) - "Herzkirsche" (heart cherry)
I also have a few from "Meßmer":
- "Spanischer Cataluna" (orange-grape)
- "Purer Genuss" (tangerine-grapefruit)
- "Türkisher Bayram" (apple-fig)
- "Ägyptischer Amun" (pomegranate-honey)
- "Caiapó-Tee" (mate-pineapple-guava herbal tea)
From "Milford" I only have these two ones...
- orange-ginger
- strawberry-rhubarb (This is a tea without cooking. You can make it with cold water.)
Lord Nelson is a brand from the German discounter LIDL
- Pineapple
- Lemon
These are teas for children. No, they aren't different, it's only the packaging. It's from the East German children's TV show "Unser Sandmännchen" (our sandman).
- "Sandmännchens Sternenkräuter" (currant-raspberry)
- "Abendgrußtee" (pineapple-peach)
- "Märchenstunde" (forest fruit)
And then I have a few other teas...
mint tea
I also have black tea, but I only use it for my eyes 🤣
Those were all the teas I have at the moment. The tea should probably last me a few months and I'll try to drink most of it first before buying some new. But who knows... the next temptation comes faster than you may think... 😉
That's all for now, enjoy your day and thanks for reading 😘
Wow that is quite the collection. My wife's tea cupboard was like that when we first started dating. Dozens of boxes of old tea of all sorts of flavors that she clearly was not going to drink. We tossed most of them in the garbage lol.
OMG 😲 no, I don't throw any food away. That's a waste for so many reasons. And tea doesn't get bad. I know all of this will be gone by the end of the year 😁
Hello @minnie.reads
I had an addiction for tea in my twenties...and somehow I lost my love for tea. I had all kinds...and I'd drink them daily. I particularly like Rooibos tea. It's still one of my favourite. I do like camomile too, but I can't be bothered to make tea anymore, I've noticed:)
I make them while I make breakfast or dinner. While I'm anyway in the kitchen 😁🤣
It makes sense to do it that way. When I lived in the Philippines, my friend from Taiwan brought real top-quality tea from tea farms. I made big jugs of iced tea with lemon. that is super refreshing:)))
Oh that sounds really good. I mostly buy cheap ones from discounters 🙈
I don't blame you at all. Maybe if I found such an outlet, I'd fall in love with tea again 😂
I love the sweet ones, and there are soo many different flavors 😍
Oh, I tend to stay away from eating tea. If I need a sweetener, maybe I'll add a little honey.
Honey isn't my cup of tea 🤣
Ok!:)
