I'm kind of a tea nut. I've been drinking it all my life because my family's very alternative medicine/hippieish.

My Mom gave me a really nice Japanese tea set when I was a teeanger and it's my favorite way to brew...but takes a lot longer. It's cast iron, but very high quality with ceramic glasses and a steel strainer for loose tea balls. Cast iron trivet, ceramic serving dishes and matching plates...etc.

I order the hand-rolled teas from China. Different types of green tea, white, black, Oolongs, Chai, etc.

If you know what to drink when and how, you can do everything with it. It's better than coffee, with all the advantages and none of the nasty side effects. Other types are better than Xanax or Ambien, again with none of the nasty side effects. There's teas for dieting, getting over flus and colds and even some types the Chinese swear will cure cancer. (I'm not so sure about that last one).

Regardless, if you ever want a really good cup of tea...come to my house. :-)
