Tea!

I don't think I've told you all what my little addiction is, but maybe by the title you have figured it out.
Yes, tea is my sweet addiction.
I know it's a bit weird but, hey at least it isn't coffee or illegal substances (this is where you chuckle a little).
I mean just look at it . . .

Hey, hey snap out of it, snap out of the trance that picture put you in.
If it makes you feel better go make a cup right now, I'm sure the taste buds will be put at ease instead of being teased. 
Okay, now that I have your attention we can go on about what this post is really about.

Tea and all its different kinds! Oh the joy.

Let's start off with my favorites!


Chamomile

The smell of this tea can literally relax me at first whiff. I love the way it smells, it's one of my favorite things about it. The reasons I drink this tea (besides the fact that it is one of my favorites and can literally drink it 24/7) is to calm my anxiety and help me sleep. There's something about this tea that will literally relax you in mind and body. It will also help you sleep rather comfortably, a must if you have trouble sleeping like me.

Peppermint 

Oh dear peppermint, I love thee. This is one of those teas I can literally feel cleansing my body as I drink it. The feeling is great, the taste is great, the smell is soothing. Need I say much more? 

I usually drink this tea when I want to relax (ladies, this does wonders in the act of getting rid of cramps), and detox my body of all the yucky stuff, cause ladies and gentlemen, this tea is one to help you in the number two department if you know what I mean (awkwardly winks), in plain words . . .

(But I mostly drink it because it taste soo good, I think this is a killing two birds with one stone moment.)

Green Tea

Now to be completely honest, I am not really in love with the way green tea tastes, I mean it's delicious but it isn't OMG delicious. Green tea is in my favorites simply because it gets rid of my queezy stomach aches. There is literally some kind of magic fairy dust in this tea because it can literally put my tummy to rest within 20 minutes if not less. I guess that makes sense, green tea is usually consumed to boost your metabolism and burn fat (directly in the tummy area!) it also keeps your energy up and relaxes/slows your heart rate. (Really all teas are in some way good for your heart).

Rose

I recently just tried this tea and the fact that you normally don't put the roses in the tea bag made me a little iffy about it, because ya know, I don't want to get rose petals stuck in my braces and have it look like my gums all of a sudden decided to enlarge. But let me tell you . . . the second those little roses hit the water, the smell is just . . . just so . . . I can literally shove my face in the water if it weren't so hot. Talk about aroma therapy. After that, I wouldn't mind swimming in a sea of rose petals. Who cares about enlarged looking gums, I drank my tea and it was worth it. This tea as you could tell, just made me feel a bit more alive, it made me feel happy and cozy all at once. Such a great to start the day or end it. 


Now teas I would like to try . . .

Oolong 

Another tea that also speeds up your metabolism and slims down your waist (always a bonus). Oolong is also known to be great for your skin, heart burn, and high cholesterol.

Lavender

We all know the smell of lavender is meant to make you feel sleepy, or at least it's suppose to. Lavender is said to make you fall asleep at the drop of a hat, it is an insomnia relief (I can't believe I haven't tried this tea yet). Lavender also reduces stress, anxiety, and can make your migraine less intense an settle it. I need about a life time supply of lavender please. I'm dying to try this.

White 

The ability of all teas are miracle like, but if any took the gold to what they do, it would be white tea. White tea contains more polyphenols, a powerful anti-oxidant that fights and kills cancer than any other tea. Now I'm not saying white tea is going to cure cancer, but it would be great in preventing it and fighting it. Also because of that white tea can also help you strengthen your immune system and help you fight of viruses or dangerous infection causing bacteria. White tea is quite more expensive than any other tea, for it's little super powers and known "silky" taste. Just talking about it makes me want to cry a little, the urge to try these teas is beyond my tears. (This is how you know you are addicted, it's okay you can chuckle a little, I too chuckle at what I have succumbed to).

Well, for now, that is all. I hope you found this post helpfully in more ways than not. I urge you to try tea, and if so you get addicted. It was not my fault. 
But please let me know what kind of teas you enjoy, hate, or have yet to want to try. 
Remember, tea is like a hug in a cup.
