I'm doing 38 things
I absolutely love tea, and have tons of it at home. Let’s take a look in the cupboard…
1. Kukicha – one of my favorites! Prefer Eden brand.
2. Darjeeling, Twinings
3. Rooibos – another staple for me. Republic of Tea, Cedarburg Organic
4. Sweet Ginger Peach – Revolution. I discovered and fell in love with this at PeiWei. Hard to find, love it!
5. Throat Comfort – Yogi Tea. Mmmm, feels so good on a sore throat!
6. Mint Green Tea – Yogi Tea. For the tummy.
7. Pitta Tea – Maharishi Ayur-Ved. It’s like the stuff you get at Indian restaurants.
8. Sencha – loose tea.
9. Teavana, Empress of China. I think they don’t carry this one any more.
10. Teavana – Dragonwell
11. Eggnogg’n. Bigelow. Kind of a non-tea tea. Yummy when I’m craving coffee.
12. Temple of Heaven Gunpowder Green – Numi
13. China Oolong – Twinings
14. Pu-erh – Yama Moto Yama. Fabulous brand. Interesting strange tea.
15. Constant Comment – Bigelow. This was my favorite as a kid!
16. Russian Caravan – Jacksons
17. Jasmine Green – Twinings. I like the soft edge the green tea gives the jasmine.

Also, just going and scouring the city on foot. The best way to find interesting things is to just aim for interesting things as you head down the street.
