a.k.a., yes, blatant product endorsement.
Apologies for the seemingly commercial nature of this. . . but I really do love this tea. Because it’s not always easy to find, I have tried to switch, to find some other hot beverage I like as much, but, alas, no luck so far.
Bought it originally, long ago, for (why not!) the package design—and the hint of whimsy there. And now the tea is a routine part of my day, try as hard as I might to move on to something else.
I ran out of “my” tea a couple of days ago and went to get more, but my usual supplier was out, so I bought somebody else’s chai blend. And hated it, all perfumey and oily. Not a good way to start a day.
Got home last night to discover that Tim had found, incredibly, a couple of boxes at a different market and brought them home to surprise me. So, this morning, I was really, really happy as I made—and savored (almost like one of those old International Coffee commercials)—my ritual cup of . . . OK, OK, I’ll say it. . . TAZOTM Organic Chai.
Check out their website, for the design and the whimsy, if nothing else.

Well whadaya know! Another TAZO Organic Chai lover! Love that mug!! Where’d you get it?
High-five across the ether! (I love that mug, too. It was made by my nephew Ian at their local art museum.)
When you love something, you love something. I need my PG Tips. And nothing is a satisfying substitute.
I’ve never tried this tea. I love tea and find it very comforting to drink during pregnancy. But my husband and I have been talking a lot about packaging lately and how to reduce it from our lives. He drinks mostly loose tea. So I tried to find my favorites in the bulk section of the co-op where we buy food. They didn’t even have rooibos (maybe sold out). These boxes are so beautiful and I want to try this tea! At the same time, I wonder if there is a way to enjoy the things we love and also make less of an impact?
Well, Candace, I have to admit I’ve never tried PG Tips, but I’m tempted to after seeing this:
