I’ve been busy this weekend! Not too busy for tea, mind you, but I haven’t been able to get any reviews done. I’ve just been drinking my favorites (Butiki Killer’s Vanilla, Harney and Sons Soho Blend, American Tea Room’s Brioche, etc.) but the best part is that I’ve been introducing my friend Joe to all my awesome teas as well. He recently decided not to drink soda anymore and to drink tea instead. He bought a Bigelow sampler and liked everything but the Earl Grey (Blergamots unite!). I loaded him up with a bunch of samples, brewing some for him here since he doesn’t even have an infuser yet. He said “All your teas are so amazing! Much better than soda and I’ll save money now that I’m not buying soda.” I managed not to laugh but didn’t have the heart to break it to him that he will probably be spending much more on tea!

Yay! Another tea convert!
Lol, yep, tea addiction is far more expensive than soda, but so much more satisfying!
I think it depends on how you look at it as it’s expense. If you can stick to a few varieties and not get plugged in here, you might be ok ;) But, on the flip side, I’m glad I found this place!! Love it and all the generous people that instill the yearning to try everything!
I also think we need to look at the cost from a health standpoint. I cut soda mostly out when I started drinking teas. I still use some sugar in most of my tea, but not nearly as much as I consumed in my soda. And diet.. who knows what’s in that? I think tea will eventually save us in health costs when it means eliminating soda from our diets. That one’s not as easy to see, but valid I think.
I totally agree with you, Suziqzer! Tea is definitely the healthier choice. There are no antioxidants in soda! I just meant it was more expensive from a financial point of view. Steepster has exacerbated that problem, but I’m loving all the new teas I’m trying and how much I’m learning from everyone here!
