Tuesday Tea

Hi everyone! This is the start of my new weekly series called "Tuesday Tea." Here I will share what new teas I've been loving and any new "tools" that I would recommend. I wanted to make small changes to what I was eating/drinking during my TTC journey to be just a little bit healthier. About eight months ago I gave up soda and coffee. I never consumed a ton but on average 2-3 cups of coffee a day and one soda. It was definitely difficult at first, especially dealing with caffeine headaches! I found it challenging to find things to drink other than water. Recently, I started doing more research on caffeine free teas and decided to give it a try. My first few purchases included: Sleepytime Kids Goodnight Grape, Peppermint and Tazo Passion Tea. I found I don't care for the fruit teas very much at all. My next step a few weeks later was a trip to Teavana, which was about 45 minutes away. I was so impressed with the customer service associate that helped me. I told her my likes/dislikes and that I preferred caffeine free teas. The associate was so knowledgeable and directed me towards three of her recommendations (all of which I purchased!). My absolute favorite purchase was the Dosha Chai Rooibos. I am also really enjoying the Honeybush Vanilla Herbal. My least favorite of my purchases is the Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos, it smells amazing but there's just something I don't love about the taste. I also ordered the Teavana Perfectea Tea Maker prior to going to the store and that arrived just a few days later. I only purchased 2 oz. of each tea so I could get a good idea of what I like. I plan on going back to Teavana this weekend to try a few more. I would also like to try Fava Tea Company which is near Teavana. I'll let you know all about my purchases in my post next Tuesday!
