Teaviews Profile: Laura
I'm a single mom in my late 30s and my other passions in life are my 3.5 year old daughter, shopping, playing cards, traveling and enjoying a great meal with greater company. I also am trying to make healthy living one of my passions for myself and my daughter including eating a healthy diet and implementing a exercise program, which is part of what drove me to tea. We live in Michigan call metro Detroit home. I am a Michigan native, but have also lived in Arizona, Florida and Virginia briefly.
I've been reviewing tea on Teaviews for about a year now and feel that I've become a somewhat seasoned tea drinker. When I was younger, I pretty much drank sun tea or basic run-of-the-mill Lipton. As I got a little older I began to develop a taste for a better grade of tea than bagged tea. Once I discovered loose leaf tea, I became a total tea addict for awhile and I can show you my credit card receipts to prove it! In recent months I have started to develop an appreciate for coffee (McDonald's Iced Hazelnut Latte's rock). No worries---I will always love my tea too.
I typically start my morning with a roasted Mate (usually blended with another tea) or a good flavored black tea such as thai tea. Usually I enjoy an iced tea in the afternoon and follow dinner with an oolong or a dessert tea. I sometimes even squeeze a sleepy time tea in before bed. My favorites are Carrot Cake Rooibos from The Necessiteas, Quangzhou Milk Oolong from Merkaba, and Hazelnut Black Tea from Adagio currently. I am one that adds a little sugar to just about everything and like to add a splash of skim milk to some as well. I tend not to love plain greens though I have become more tolerant of them, anything that tastes like black licorce, smoky teas or any really strong black tea. Super floral teas are not my favorite, but I can generally get through a cup. I look forward to sharing my tea experiences and finding some new favorite teas.
