Tea

Last time I was in a grocery store supermarket I looked for Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea. It's a good day starter for a cold day, and it has no caffeine. It does have some real zip to it. I did not find any Bengal Spice tea. I did find Madagascar Vanilla Red, which I didn't recall having before. It's okkay, but there's not really much of a vanilla note to it, so it seems lacking to me. It also lacks the zip of the Bengal Spice.

I have a couple other herbals teas handy. I find Stash's Wintermint tea to be nice, but it's not quite the thing to for the start of the day. Maybe later in the morning or in the afternoon. The same is true of Stash's Licorice Spice tea which is quite good, at least to those who like licorice.

The Stash teas have an advantage over the Celestial Seasonings stuff: the string. I suppose Celestial Seasonings gets a significant overall cost savings by not having a string attached to their tea bags, but it is a bit annoying to need to keep a pliers or forceps handy for extracting tea bags from the hot tea.

If you find you can't get Bengal Spice, let me know. I think it's still available here. I can send you a couple of boxes.
