I really love coffee but I am starting to really enjoy tea. Plus I am an adult so I don’t really need anything for Christmas(unless it’s babysitting rain checks).

My entire Christmas list is either tea or simple accessories like an infuser/tea ball and a box to store tea.

Thanks, @trinsec!! I have so much to learn. I’m just now realizing there are different types of honey.:) This could be a deep rabbit hole. I will start with Acacia honey as the favor profile looks delicious and I guess it is good at being mixed with liquid.

@derickflorian I absolutely love me some acacia honey in my teas. So much so that I just can't stand the default flower honey anymore, heh.

In fact, I'll go make me a simple ceylon tea now with lots of the good acacia-y stuff.

@trinsec I will try that combo and I will have to bug you as I explore more teas!

@derickflorian Even though I drink tea every day, I'm actually not a big tea connoisseur. I'm rather picky and have a narrow taste there. :)

Edit: That's to say, I've tried testing out some unconventional teas, and found some tastes that I can add to my tea-vocabulary in order to avoid the caffeines found in normal black teas. But it is not a huge vocabulary.

@trinsec @derickflorian (Don't want to intrude but have to recommend rooibos/red bush tea and fynbos honey.)

@dimi Yeah, I don't like rooibos at all. So you two can have a seperate conversation all about that if you'd like. ;)

@derickflorian

@dimi Though I'll have to look up about that honey someday. But honey is pretty expensive here lately so I'll stick to which I know I like for now.

@derickflorian

@dimi I will write that down. I have had rooibos in the past and remember liking it! That looks like a good non-caffeine choice.

From googling it I like how both the tea and the honey are coming from the same geographic area.

@derickflorian @dimi Rooibos is very excellent but you will want to get either a super fine mesh strainer or a fine weave cloth bag to brew it in as it comes in very fine leaves.
Rooibos is one of my favs during the day and it is even good after it gets cold.
