When it's a hot day here in the tropics, I usually drink iced tea during the day. I make just enough with my Hamilton Beach iced tea maker (which is really just a tea brewer with a pitcher you can add ice to) to finish off by the end of the day. Very recently, I [...] Read more »
Steuarts Black Tea with Cinnamon

I never would have thought about either had I not been thinking about getting a late-night [...] Read more »
My Coffee and Tea Blog
This blog is all about coffee, tea and anything (and I do mean anything) related to either one. I have been drinking coffee and tea all my life (which started in 1960) and I prefer them over any other drinks, even plain water. You can ask me if I'm a coffee lover and a tea [...] Read more »
