have a big tea collection

Tea is my drink of choice. I literally drink liters, especially in the office (I bring my own as I don’t like my employer’s range). My favourites are Earl Grey & Lady Grey (Twinings), but I like most other black teas as well. Over the years I’ve gathered boxes, sachets and tins here and there, they no longer fit my cupboard… Here’s the list of teas I’ve tried, the ones I like make it into my collection.

A wooden tea box :)
I love it so much !
I have 10 different teas too/

mighty leaf tea….

ginger twist and green tea tropical.

THEY ARE DELICIOUS.

I think I have quite big collection :) I wish I would have enough space in my kitchen so they would go there nicely. And get a box for all the tea brands. So teas I have:

• Green mint (From Germany, Teekanne)
• Mint, herbs (Lipton)
• Enkeli; black tea with peppermint, mint and cornflower (Forsman Tea)
• Pineapple and cherry fruit tea (From Germany)
• Silkkitie; Assam-Ceylon with vanilla and blackthorn (Nordqvist)
• White tea (Simon Lévelt, Fair Trade)
• Black tea with mango (Princess, Fair Trade)
• Halipula; green tea with wild strawberry, cream, rose and strawberry (Forsman Tea)
• Green Jasmine (Forsman Tea, Fair Trade)
• Pear- Vanilla fruit tea (From Germany)
• Camomile, Honey and Vanilla (Twinings)
• Rooibos vanilla (From Germany, Classic)
• Creamy caramel black tea (From Latvia)
• Green Mint (Simon Lévelt, Fair Trade)

Bought some chamomile tea today and everything said about it being relaxing is absolutely true. I loved it! My distressed nerves needed just this, life has been rather hectic lately. I’m definitely going to make sure to keep chamomile tea in my collection from now on. :)

My dream is to one day own a huge cupboard full of different tea flavours, so whenever someone comes to visit me, they could just pick their favourite flavour and wouldn’t have to settle for something else just because I didn’t have the tea they wanted to have. I’m not a big fan of black teas, so I think I’m going to start my collection from different types of green and herbal teas, as those are the ones I love to drink. I mean, there are LOADS of different variations of green tea; green tea wit mint, with lemon, and what else. I’m not sure how I should classify different tea flavours, are green tea with mint and green tea with lemon still just green tea, or not? Because I think they’re not, but would it be too big an attempt to try to get a collection with variations of every tea flavour there is in the world? I guess it would, but then again, ambitions make you work harder for your goals. :D

I’m still not sure how to go about this goal, if I already have, say, Lipton’s white tea, is it enough, or should I also try to get my hands on some other company’s white tea? Ack, this is starting to sound more complicated than I first thought. :s Not going to give up, though! I will have that cupboard full of different tea flavours one day.

- white tea (Lipton)
- aromatic green tea (Forsman Tea)
- green tea flavoured with fruit oils (Forsman Tea)
- green tea with mint (Pirkka)

Gah. :x If I bought a new tea flavour every month, I could really say I’m progressing in this… yes, I’ll try to do just that.
