My Love For Tea


Instead of drinking stuff like sodas and coffee, I have this highly insane addiction for teas. Of course, so does my husband. Not too long ago we discovered a tea shop right here in our home town of Independence, Kansas. It's a small town and because of the economy, I often wonder how long it will be before we lose our favorite place to buy tea.

Much of the reason we love the shop so much is because their teas are all-natural. The teas are grown around Independence and there are so many unusual and wonderful teas. The last time we visited the shop, we found a tea that has a smoky flavor from being roasted over pine wood. It was delicious. Tonight I'm enjoy another tea we purchased that is a white tea with the citrus pieces of an orange, lemon and lime. It is very yummy.


I still wonder how our favorite little tea shop will fare in this recent crisis and I wonder our other tea shops like the one I wrote about, The Tea Infusion Cafe in Orlando, FL. I'm guessing since Orlando is a big city, it's probably doing much better than most! Only time will tell.

Dreaming of a Vacation and Organic Tea

When I was a kid my dad was big on taking vacations. He loved getting out and seeing new places, so by the time I was 10, we had seen Orlando, FL and Disney World, twice. I loved Disney World and being able to ride the rides, like the Tea Cup, going underwater in a submarine and viewing Disney and the shops on a roller coaster ride.

That was over 20 years ago. I haven't been on a vacation since then. I really wouldn't mind heading back to Florida. A few Orlando vacations and I'll be in pure vacation heaven. Then while I am in Orlando enjoying my vacation, maybe I can check out the organic tea cafe that I wrote about in a recent article. Goofy, the Ocean and sipping tea on the beach. What more could a girl ask for?
