Moment of Zen: My Morning Tea

By Joe

I rarely drink coffee when I first wake up in the morning, but I love a good hot cup of tea. I usually drink English Breakfast Tea.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    Have you ever heard of Builder’s Tea. I find it is fabulous.

      I haven’t, but I looked it up. I’ll have to give it a try. I usually drink Tazo’s Awake English Breakfast Tea. I always stir in some sugar, but never add milk. When I drink coffee, I add both cream and sugar.

        Try this with some sugar . I drink this hot and I AM from the South, so I, also, drink it as Iced Tea. I love the almount of caffeine in this variety of British Tea.
        ***But….the tag line on the box is AWESOME-” The British Empire Was Not Built On Chamomile!”

        If nothing bit the tagline itself, I’ll have to try this tea. Thanks for the suggestion.

        I am so happy you found some Builder’s Tea. I, apparently, have an addictive personality, because I crave it when I don’t have any near me. Sounds funny, but that citrus, floral taste is AWESOME to me!!!!
        Like the nectar from a honeysuckle flower.
        Oh, Gawd!!! The heat has gotten to me!!!

        It came in the mail the other day from Amazon. I just got around to trying it today, and I think I’ve drank at least four cups throughout the day. LOL. This tea is addictive. It’s milder than the Awake tea I often drink, but you’re right, the citrus, floral is awesome. Thank you so much for recommending it. It may be my new favorite.
