Hot tea was popular in my hometown in the Dominican Republic, made with ginger root, cinnamon, old spice, fresh lemon grass, star anise, anise seeds, lemon leaves, mint and other fresh herbs, according to taste; boiled in a big cooking pot, its aroma meandering throughout the house.
Drinking tea was comforting during the rainy season and cooler months. Associating rainy, chilly days, to a simmering pot of tea, I introduced my children to fresh-herbs tea. My husband also grew up drinking Mate in Argentina. In recent years, work has taken us to China, widening our taste to include Chinese green tea and his favorite Oolong tea. We traveled to the ancient city of Hangzhou, an important green tea grower area in China, and was fascinated by their tea traditions.
It was in china where I first saw an electric tea pot rendering boiling water in less than two minutes (compared to the hour wait, if lucky, in my hometown kitchen) and wide variety of tea pots; I felt like a child in a toy store.
We bought a kettle and a tea pot with infuser and have given many kettles and tea pots to family and friends. I can’t say enough about the physical and emotional benefits of drinking tea.
Tea gives us a break during the day, we take time to talk and relax sipping different brews, and continue learning, reading about the medicinal benefits of tea. We buy all sorts of tea in bulk though the internet, making sure it is organic and from a reputable outlet. I highly recommend my electric kettle and tea pot!

Am I missing something about tea? Please share. Your thoughts, ideas, comments and suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated.
I love hot tea when the weather gets cold because the steam is soothing to lungs. I tend to buy and be given more tea than I seem to be able to drink. This week I am going to save money by drinking the tea that is overflowing off the shelf on my kitchen. I posted a picture on my Facebook page
