November Sipdown Prompt – tea from your highest shelf/drawer/storage

I have to use a step stool to get these down.

I am drinking this every day at lunch now in an attempt to cut back on my sugar intake, as normally I would have sweet iced tea. I am moving around a little less since surgery and don’t want to consume a lot of needless calories, opting for high quality ones instead.

It is pretty hot for November and I am still harvesting tomatoes although it is mostly cherry tomatoes of different types now. There will be a few more slicing types but not many. So iced tea is still very welcome.

This one is disappearing pretty fast now and I am almost sure I have two other types of their black cold steep blends somewhere, or maybe just one. Locating it will be a project soon when this one is gone.

This is particularly good as a cold steeped tea and has not been too brisk for me. It is one of their most economical teas as well. I did try cold steeping it and then heating it as a hot breakfast tea, but that was not the best use of this blend. It will remain a cold steep tea for me, and one I enjoy a lot and look forward to, which I can not say of many unsweetened cold black teas.

I’m jealous of your fresh cherry tomatoes! Store bought never taste as good as home grown.

Agreed! I have dried a whole bunch of them in the oven to use throughout fall and winter. We put them in omelets and on pizza.

Our plants are hanging on with lots of covering and coddling. Our late-bloomer red bell pepper plant has two big’uns that are just starting to turn if the frost will hold off.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
