I had never spent that much on plain black tea before, didn't realize it would make a difference.<br /><br />Also, just blogged about some new teas and thought you might be interested: http://8monthsinukraine.blogspot.com/2015/01/stash-tea-haul.htmlCrazy About Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990920799981173553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398510058957162790.post-49833348355036096622015-01-14T22:39:11.013-08:002015-01-14T22:39:11.013-08:00Good luck to you in your travels - I am envious. :...Good luck to you in your travels - I am envious. :) <br /><br />I would consider talking some about it, but probably not until I am planning my next big trip overseas, and that will be awhile yet. Right now I am focusing on this crazy transition time in my life and seeing what comes next. But thanks to your suggestion, I will absolutely remember this for when the time comes.

I'm...Haha, yeah, the tin sale got my boyfriend. I'm the queen of repurposing old glass jars for everything so no one could have talked me into a tin, but he was at the register with the sales associate and next thing I know, there's the tin! It was only one, at least, no major harm done to the budget.<br /><br />That's wonderful that you got to visit Ukraine! That experience must make what is happening right now seem a lot more personal to you. It's very sad the kind of massive suffering that is going on there these days, I pray for the country to find peace, unity, and prosperity. I was there just for fun. Somehow this idea got into my brain that I want to live in that region of the world. But now, we're back in the US, hopefully just for a while...<br /><br />Would you ever consider making a blog post about your trip there? It would be so interesting to read!!Crazy About Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990920799981173553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398510058957162790.post-60296278588698133192015-01-14T08:37:04.443-08:002015-01-14T08:37:04.443-08:00I have never mixed herbal tea (or any tea) with wi...I have never mixed herbal tea (or any tea) with wine but I've heard of it being done - thank you for giving me a drink idea. :) A lot of the holiday blends are icky to me, I'd say I enjoy maybe 20% of what Teavana sells. And yes, there is high pressure to buy. The sales associates are pressured to sell a certain amount in a certain way or risk their jobs. They also tell you all sorts of health benefits about the teas that are unsubstantiated at best. And one had the gall to tell me their teas are the highest quality out there, which I KNOW is not true. There is a place for Teavana in the world, and a place in my cupboard for some of it (their tins are great when they are on sale), but I buy online only now. <br /><br />I flew in to Kyiv, and we spent a couple days there. Then we went to Letychiv (forgive my spelling) which was where my friend was living and teaching for a few days, and then we spent a few days in the Carpathian Mountains. The whole trip was so educational for me and beautiful and interesting. What brought you there?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883779559958501153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398510058957162790.post-11297348900108907572015-01-14T08:27:54.010-08:002015-01-14T08:27:54.010-08:00Thanks for your reply, Leah!
Ooooh, the Citrus L...Thanks for your reply, Leah! <br /><br />Ooooh, the Citrus Lavender Sage is what opened the door to our purchase. I haven't been as impressed with the other teas, but I sure love that particular blend. Last night I made some, cooled it, and mixed it with chilled white wine- so good! But I'm not sure we'll go back... maybe it was just the day we were there, but it seemed really high-pressure to buy something. <br /><br />Yes, in eastern Ukraine for a couple of years : ) Really, really, really loved it!

I visited a friend who was in Peace Corps there a few years ago, it was such a cool place to visit. :)<br /><br />I love some Teavana teas, though I think as you explore online you will find options that are just as great and even better quality for less money. Teavana is the gateway for many a tea lover, and there are a few blends I am super dedicated to. I really love the White Ayurvedic Chai, the Citrus Lavender Sage, and the Berry Basil Blast just to name a couple.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883779559958501153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398510058957162790.post-25756225998444716452015-01-13T11:46:05.938-08:002015-01-13T11:46:05.938-08:00Awesome post!

I could read about tea organization all day long : ) For the past few years my bf and I were living outside the US and didn't have access to much tea variety- now that we're back... oh wow, there is SO MUCH to choose from! <br /><br />We recently found the tea store Teavana and got their holiday box with 12 different blends. Yesterday I found a local store and picked up some of their products and was also in another store and saw a box of Les Palais The Thes... a brand you mentioned in an earlier post. It was on 50% markdown so got that to try as well. Then there's always Marshalls, where it's impossible to not buy at least one box :P<br /><br />Anyways, good luck with your organization and simplification efforts! I'm looking forward to more of your tea posts!Crazy About Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990920799981173553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398510058957162790.post-37534519736780604262015-01-07T11:47:10.298-08:002015-01-07T11:47:10.298-08:00I might be about to ask a really silly question, b...I might be about to ask a really silly question, but what is gfc?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883779559958501153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398510058957162790.post-69213843807292289722015-01-07T08:36:06.033-08:002015-01-07T08:36:06.033-08:00Ooooh, I love tea!!!!
