When I was little, and got a cut or scrape, my mother always got out the Constant Comment tea and brewed us a cup...for some 'tea and sympathy'. I am drinking a lot of tea this week! I am having some heart problems, (hopefully fairly minor) and am feeling a bit under the weather. I am also dealing with a bit of self-pity, and trying to whip my attitude into shape! Mom always said that tea will cure what ails you. I am taking you at your word, Mom! The box of tea is on the tea cart, as well as my favorite teapot. It is getting a bit cooler lately, so maybe I will make a batch of cherry hazelnut scones to go with it....

I also feel under the weather more days than not, and tea is my favorite way to heal! The best is a lime green tea blend that sooths the soul. Hope you feel better after those scones!
I like different teas for different moods. This morning it is cinnamon tea from Barnes and Noble. Yum!
I don't care for green tea. It always comes out bitter. White tea is smoother.
If your green tea is bitter, it is usually because of the brewing process. Keep the water temp just under boiling and brew for only 2 to 3 minutes. The tannin is the bitter part that comes out after too much time in the water. (I used to write a tea newsletter, 'Rose's Tea Cozy')
