I have become obsessed with tea lately. Seriously obsessed. I blame it all on Neil because two mornings per week he does an early morning workout class which means no one is home to make me my own coffee. I know, I know I could just make my own and sometimes I do but Neil just makes it so much better (most of the time). So when I’m feeling to lazy to make my own coffee I turn to tea
First thing in the morning I want a cup of tea that is higher in caffeine and most of the time something super dark and rich. I tend to go for an English Breakfast or an Irish Breakfast, however I was just introduced to Numi‘s Breakfast Blend and it is amazing and the Aged Earl Grey is pretty amazing too. For something a bit lighter for the Spring I have been trying out various green teas and Numi’s Mate Lemon is just wonderful for a caffeine boost while being light and refreshing.
In the afternoon you can usually find me sipping on a cup of tea. the type of tea I go for depends on how my day is going another high caffeine if it’s been particularly rough day but usually I go for something that is a bit of a lower caffeine. I often like to have a chai with almond milk and coconut sugar or lately, since it’s been so warm, I have been going for an iced green.
Finally, at the end of the day I like to unwind with a cup of tea. Usually something herbal but sometimes I go for a decaf tea. I like mint for digestion, chamomile to relax and in the winter I enjoy a rooibos chai or the indulgent chocolate if I am craving something sweet. For a Spring/Summer sweet treat I really enjoy the White Rose which is light and both sweet and floral.
I have been loving the Numi’s Collection box because as you can see from the photos above it has such a wide variety of flavors. I often find myself picking up the same types of tea over and over again because I’m too scared to go outside my comfort zone and try a new flavor or variety. This assorted box has really helped me narrow down my favorites and has introduced me to so many new teas. What are your favorite teas? Do you drink different teas depending on the season?

Numi is one of my absolute favorites! I also love Traditional Medicinals. They have an unbelievable selection. If I had to pick a favorite Numi tea it would be the Chamomile Lemon or Rooibos – yum!
I love Traditional Medicinals as well. What is your favorite TM tea?
i actually haven’t tried numi! something i need to explore, clearly!

I love their Indulgent teas if you are a fan of richer, chocolatey teas.
I’ve never tried Numi tea, but I love their packaging and the flavors sound wonderful!
They have so many really great teas!
My husband usually makes my coffee for me as well. He’s got it down to a science, bless his heart. I love tea too and just discovered chamomile. I know, I’m late to the game. I usually have basic black teas, I’m just starting to branch out into different teas for other purposes besides something warm to sip on with caffeine. Thanks for sharing, cheers!
Ooo, rich chocolatey teas? How have I never had this?
I love basically ALL tea, but I’m always a big fan of anything from Townsend’s or Tea Chai Te. As for packaged teas, I love Numi (I started drinking their chocolate tea after seeing it on your Instagram!) and Traditional Medicinals (throat coat is a big favorite of mine).
I haven’t tried Numi yet! I’ll have to be on the lookout for it š
I love Numi teas! Especially that Chocolate Pur-eh one. I add a little warmed milk and half a Splenda and it is superb!!
