Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A lot of you gave me some tips for trying to find great-tasting teas that would help me cut down on my daily sugar intake. Thanks again. I took everyone's advice and went on a little tea shopping spree this weekend, and here's what I bought and how they taste.
I went with reader advice and bought two different kinds of Good Earth: Original and Vanilla Chai. Both are nice. The original has a strong cinnamon taste, and while the chai has a strong vanilla flavor and aroma to it, it also has a lot of cinnamon and other spices. But they both taste good. I've had some cinnamon-flavored teas that, well, just tasted like someone took 30 or 40 sticks of Big Red gum and boiled them. These taste really great. I also bought a variety pack of Celestial Seasonings. I've had some flavors of this brand in that past I wasn't too thrilled with, but it's a good tea to keep on hand. I'm going to buy some other brands too and see how they are.
And the best news? With these teas I've cut down from 4-5 packets of sugar to only 1 or 2! Most excellent.

If you want sweet without the sugar, try some Market Spice Tea which started in the Pike Place Market from Seattle (In Amazon.com, search for Market Spice Tea). It's got a great combination of flavors AND it has a natural sweetness that you may find you like.

Then, just try great black teas with entire leavec (and not in a bag) and you ll see a tea can be drink without any sugar

I never need sugar with them, which if I do have a soar throat I don't really need. They are recommended even if you don't have a soar throat for throat health. I drink them all winter and I think it helps me fight being sick faster.
I also enjoy the yogi chai or other spicy flavors.
