Tea addiction...? No! Tea is just great to collect and drink 😉

Hi everyone,

I think we all know that it is very important to drink enough. I never was someone who liked water. I hate water 🙈 But drinking only soft drinks is not healthy.

A few years ago I found my love for tea and it got a little addiction 😎 Whenever I was shopping I bought new tea. My mother-in-law also gave us tea for every occasion like birthdays, Christmas, Easter, or whatever. And I also got lots of tea from food sharing...

I don't know why, but I lost my love for tea. Maybe because I got too lazy to make them. I bought instant tea or vitamin effervescent tablets. Both were quick to make and were already cold because I only drink cold tea.

A few weeks ago I found my love again and since I still had plenty of teas in my storage room, I took them all out and put them in my kitchen cabinet.

I only drink fruit teas, rooibos teas, and a few herbal teas. I don't like green or black teas. I always sweeten my tea with sweetener and no sugar. I use 3 pieces for 1 liter.

Previously I used 1.5-liter tea cans, but as we got a new dishwasher, they didn't fit in it. I had to clean them manually. Because they were old, I wanted to buy new ones, and still knew that I have to wash them manually. Then I got an idea. I'll use measuring cups. They can withstand hot water and they fit in the dishwasher.

And if I have only a single bag of a sort left or I have a "special tea" then I use my favorite cup. A 0.5-liter Micky and Minnie Mouse mug 😍

Otherwise, I have my 0.5-liter cup. No, I really DON'T like football, but I loved the mascot of the FIFA World Cup of 2006 and so I bought a few of these cups 😁

Most of my teas are in bags, but I also have a few loose teas. For these teas, I have tea filters for single use but I prefer the one for multiple uses.

Get ready for my tea collection...

Are you interested in what teas I currently have? Yes? Then here they come... No? Sorry, they still come here... 😂

I start with my loose teas... Yes, I love peach and passion fruit tea 😍

currant & cherry fruit tea

winter mix rooibos tea

I also had a few leftover tea bags in my teabox

And then I have all my boxes of fruit tea in bags...

The most I have is from "Teekanne", a German brand.

"Cheeky flirt" (pomegranate-blackberry)
"Hot Love" (raspberry-vanilla)

Caramel Apple Pie
Blueberry Muffin
Moroccan mint
Turkish apple

"Country lust" (currant-apple)

passion fruit *again* 😂)

I also have a few from "Meßmer":

"Caiapó-Tee" (mate-pineapple-guava herbal tea)

From "Milford" I only have these two ones...

orange-ginger
strawberry-rhubarb (This is a tea without cooking. You can make it with cold water.)

Lord Nelson is a brand from the German discounter LIDL

Pineapple
Lemon

These are teas for children. No, they aren't different, it's only the packaging. It's from the East German children's TV show "Unser Sandmännchen" (our sandman).

"Sandmännchens Sternenkräuter" (currant-raspberry)
"Abendgrußtee" (pineapple-peach)
"Märchenstunde" (forest fruit)

And then I have a few other teas...

mint tea

"Entspannung" (Relaxation) & "Harmonie für Körper & Seele" (Harmony for body & soul) herbal teas

herbal tea with Cherry Stalks

fennel tea

I also have black tea, but I only use it for my eyes 🤣

Those were all the teas I have at the moment. The tea should probably last me a few months and I'll try to drink most of it first before buying some new. But who knows... the next temptation comes faster than you may think... 😉

☕ cheers together ☕
