Tea on Tuesday

I am actually on time, and early today, in posting my Tea on Tuesday!! Yay!!! I am sipping a lovely mug of Arizona Pomegranate Acai tea, while awaiting our next blast of snow!!!

If it snows, the perfect thing to do, would be to sit in front of the fire, with a hot cuppa tea, and Jason's new tea book to keep you warm!

I discovered Jason Witt's tea blog shortly before he closed it down!! But, now, we can have more of Jason, because he's the author of a new book!

Here is his bio and a little about the book- courtesy of Jason:


***********************************************************************************

Tea is God’s Blessing for your mind, body, and

spirit. The three are inseparable and none is most

important; tea is God’s Gift to your whole person. It

will first give you Peace of Mind, reducing the stress

that could kill you at a young age, and grant you

better focus.



Then tea keeps you young as the Fountain of

Youth. Stress would otherwise age you, along with a

number of other factors, ending with the major

diseases. Tea is known to potentially prevent all that.

And it is spiritual virtue to come to God like a child

(who doesn’t age.) It’s worthy of Paradise .



Finally tea is revealed as the Tree of Life. It’s

the healing Food of Heaven, now available here on

earth for these current generations. And pu-erh tea

shows itself enlightening as a particularly spiritual

tea, a blessing upon those who enjoy it faithfully.

Tea on Tuesday

I must confess, I haven't had any tea today!!! In a rush to get out the door this morning, I missed my morning cup. After my Tuesday morning volunteer at the thrift store, I went next door and ordered a mango smoothie with whipped cream on top!!!!
Then, went home, and rushed back out to the supermarket, got fixings for dinner, came home, threw the groceries in the fridge, and ran out to the barn!

My daughter and I took a nice ride along the creek, then came back inside to prepare dinner.
Now, we have to go back outside to feed the horses, and help my husband move the tree stand.

Sooo, tea never happened for me today!!!

But, I did get an email from a blog I recently started to follow,called Teaternity, about the healthy aspects of tea. I decided to copy an excerpt from that below for you all. I may have to go out and buy myself some of this!!!

"Probiotics are often associated with expensive food that's high in calories and difficult to make at home. The secret is that you can get your probiotics from tea with no extra cost or effort. All you need to do is start drinking Puerh tea.

Puerh is probiotic because it's fermented by microbes that are good for you, aiding digestion and strengthening the immune system as well as killing off competing harmful bacteria.

The good news is Puerh tea is no more expensive than other kinds of tea, as long as you don't go for the fancy aged varieties. And there are no unwanted calories or fat in it, just plenty of antioxidants to heal you further."
