I’m back (sort of) did you miss me!? LOL
I have a bunch of stuff to backlog but I was very tea deprived in Vegas last week. I was unable to go to the Mandarin Oriental Tea Room as I hoped…hell, I didn’t even get over to the Fashion Mall’s Teavana! Oye!
Anyhow…I’m sick…VERY sick since I have been back…I know it was because of the lady on the plane…she wasn’t covering her mouth and I was sitting RIGHT in front of her. I truly believe I was unable to fight off the germs because of lack of tea! Seriously!!!!
Here is my first cup of the day – backlogging later.
Also…I’m not tasting any new teas while I am sick because I don’t think it would be a fair review since I am “OFF”, ya know what I mean…so I will only taste the ones I have tasted before.
As I am doing with this one. It was alright. Felt nice on the throat but very light in flavor.
Sorry you got sick! Hope you get to feeling better soon.
One of my tea friends is married to a doctor, and he says that freshly steeped hot tea DOES have benefits for helping us fight off germs. We thank him profusely for telling us this, so we can rationalize buying even more tea.
ashmanra, I’ll remember to tell my husband that tonight. And get him drinking even more hot tea because he is a first year teacher. I’m sure any defense against sick kids will help, and more tea for me…I mean us!
I can totally believe that a lack of tea could lower the immune system. When I first moved back to Baltimore a couple weeks ago, it was so hot that I didn’t drink much tea. The result? I spent all of last week with a major cold.
I hope you feel much better soon. Take it easy!
Boo to that selfish lady on the plane! :( I hope you feel better soon!
@Meghann, I’m crossing my fingers that your husband doesn’t get too sick. First year teachers are almost always catching something though…I’m in my second year of teaching and have already dealt with a nasty cold which resulted in a pretty painful ear infection. Drink lots of tea and take vitamins!!!
Working in child care I get sick often, I will see if my recent habit of daily tea consumption boosts my immunity this flu season! I like the idea mentioned that it’s a great excuse to buy more tea!
Thanks everyone!!!
