Wegman's has some very good loose leaf tea, and the prices are simply amazing.

Their earl grey is very good, but I'm partial to their Egyptian Peppermint. Very strong.

Also, their selection of loose tea is very good- I'm sure you can find several blends to try.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I can have coffee, I just need to cut back.  I'm having a cup of crappy Keurig coffee right now in fact. :P

I need to check Wegmans.  We have several here in NoVa, but I never seem to get out to them often (or even yearly it seems).

Thanks!

The only tea I drink is Luzianne caffeinetted, sweet and cold. I get it at the grocery store and drink it in a mason jar, by God.

This.

As God intended it.

If you go shooting at the NRA range, there is a Wegman's within 5 minutes of the range. (Sometimes less or more, depending on the lights.)

Actually that's the only one I've been to.  I don't go to the NRA range much since joining the IWLA.  IWLA is more convenient and less crowded.

I ordered the IngenuiTEA and it's enroute via UPS.  Sending a sample of some cinnamon flavored tea.

Anything relatively natural is good for ya, and in moderation.
Scientists are still figuring out all the anti-oxidants in coffee, and it's effects on diabeetus. (lol sp)
I drink 88 ounces of coffee a week.  Each week, every week, no fail. I eat junk food from-time-to-time, but always savory, never sweet.

Fish, seafood, legumes, lean meat, crucifers and whole grains comprise 99% of my diet. Sawbones even comments on it. BP 116/68. Arteries are clear. Overall diet is sound. If something nails me out of the blue, sawbones says it will be cancer, and not a CV disease.

Cold comfort, but anyway.

Reviving this because I bought the IngenuiTea and a 30oz IntelliTea kettle. Impressed with both. The kettle boils water faster than I can do it in the microwave, with variable temp settings for lighter teas.

Hold on a minute. Some of you are drinking loose-leaf tea? I thought we dumped that in the harbor a long time ago. Didn't we fight a revolution so we could get our tea in bags, like civilized people?

No, for the right to buy cheaper Chinese tea. Form factor irrelevant.

Little known fact...

The Tea Act to which the Colonists reacted so badly?

It made tea CHEAPER than it had been previously, to the point where it undercut the price that smuggled Dutch tea was bringing.

I love my morning coffee, strong and black.  I only drink two cups then and tea the rest of the day.  I prefer Chinese gunpowder tea with ginsing, or plain green tea or jasmine tea....chris3
