Tea for life

I drink tea everyday. You should too.

Flowers of a Jasmine

I’m particularly fond of the depth of black tea. Black tea seems more mysterious than other teas. Pin pointing where the flavors come from is a hard task. Black tea has the depth of coffee and the delicacy of a flower. Any type of tea is great — and I prefer it to other drinks. Even though I drink black tea more often — I must say Jasmine has to be my favorite. Just like its rice counterpart, Jasmine tea has unique qualities. Jasmine smells of a sweet flower, and it is made of just that. Jasmine petals sweeten the steaming water, and the smell is organic and comforting.
