My 5 year old LOVES Earl Grey. Hers is not very authentic though, I buy the Twinings decaf variety. She has more than enough energy without being hopped up on caffeine.

I need to look for new tea sources. I absolutely love Tranquil Dreams from Teavana. I love brewing a cup at night, adding a bit of honey, and just curling up with it. Tea should be a sensory, and sometimes sensual experience. It puts me back together at the end of a long day.

I just don't like Teavana's hard sell, pushy sales approach and would love to find another yummy herbal from a smaller company. I did find an Inupiat artist that lives in Anaktuvak Pass who makes her own tea mixes with a lot of local plants. I am thinking of trying one of hers.

Wow, another innocent thread ruined by someone who really needs to find something better to do with his time. Tattle tale. Who reports a thread about tea? IT'S TEAAAAAAA!!!! And you think you're reminding us of our stupidity? Someone sure looks stupid and I assure you it's not one of us "lesser 48-ers."

Find a copy of Discovering Wild Plants-Alaska, Western Canada, The Northwest by Janice J. Schofield recommended by Grama our own resident expert. It is a fantastic resource.
