Hot Tea to the Rescue! Ha!

There is nothing like a cup of hot tea in the morning. I have my favorite, the Wegman’s brand of Black Cinnamon, sitting right next to me as I punch out this blog post on a very cold Maryland December morning (19 degrees - yikes!). But it’s not only on cold mornings I drink this delicious tea, but it’s also every single day, or pretty close to every day - even on those hot summer days! Since I’ve never had a cup of coffee in my life, the tea takes its place.

When I travel, I carry the tea bags for the length of my trip, plus three extra. I took a whole box with me to France and Poland (40 bags) in 2023 because I wanted to share my “find” with my Polish cousins on why I like this brand of “herbata,” the Polish word for tea.

They weren’t impressed. They like what they like.

I ended up taking back home more than three dozen bags, since they said they would never drink it, which was perfectly fine with me. I like to try all kinds of teas when I travel, but I always keep a few bags in each handbag for “emergencies.” And, I’ve never been turned away when asking for hot water, even in developing countries. That’s saying something!

I know there are die-hard coffee fans out there, but I also know there are many die-hard fans of hot tea (not to mention the millions who love iced tea!). I’ll stick to my morning routine and a cup (sometimes two) of super-hot, black cinnamon tea!

Drink up!
