Told by the Tea!

I'm a big fan of several of the Ayurvedic blends of Yogi Tea. The boxes feature very basic Yoga moves (which I still can't do thanks to the joys of my back and right leg) and tell you something like "The essence of this tea is comfort and abundance" and every tea bag has a tag which features a "bon mot ( Read more... )

Glad you don't think I'm nuts for the talking with tea idea. I can see them having conversations about what "My heart is nothing but the home of god" means in Eastern Philosophy as opposed to Western tradition/Judeo-Christian-Islamic monotheism (a bit like how Einstein could say, "I refuse to believe that god plays dice with the world" without it being a statement of *religion* while it obviously is still a statement of faith), or the equally "Eastern" idea that "A simple life will make you carefree" as opposed to owning ALL the things ever. :D

(Maybe, even, "actively napping" (at the end of IM3) was Bruce getting his own back on Tony's reactions when he tried to have such serious conversations?)

And I think Tony would love to tell Bruce, "You are a star on the stage of the Universe". :D

As regards drinking them, the Women's Energy is a bit floral for my tastes, not *bad*, but floral. But I can heartily recommend the Classic, Bedtime and Detox blends and the Sweet Lemon and Sweet Mint Snack Teas (though the snack teas do contain caffeine and I use the Detox blend because of the side-effects on opiates on the digestive tract, so... take that as you will :D)

Our Holland & Barrett do Heath & Heather and Clipper, not Pukka; and the supermarket do Twinings teas and herbals, so I'm afraid I can't compare - and I do still drink both Lemon & Ginger and Camomile & Spearmint without particularly worrying about brand - but as much as I like the *idea* of Yogi Teas, I wouldn't drink them if I didn't like them. :D The Classic, in particular, is a bit like Chai, (to me, anyway, but I'm anosmic, so sometimes my taste sensations are a bit screwy) if you know/like that? Let me know if you do try and like them!

This morning's tea? "Your experience will bring you wisdom"
