Celebrate the Good Things: Adagio Tea

By Laura Schaefer

We've all had those days that don't go as planned. You leave the house ten minutes late and promptly back your vehicle directly into your overturned garbage can. *Massive sigh*

Fortunately, those days aren't the norm, right? And once in a while, something unexpectedly pleasant happens. I believe in nodding toward those unexpectedly pleasant things...taking a moment to say: this is good. Yes. Take Kurt Vonnegut's advice and notice when you are happy.

I had one of those unexpectedly pleasant moments recently when I received a gift of two loose tea sampler packages from Adagio Tea, and I've been enjoying the gifts ever since. Both the Pu-erh and the Chai sampler packs are delightful. My favorite so far is the Chocolate Chai, because it smells amazing and tastes like a decadent treat. This is a good tea for the coffee fiends among us, because it offers the same richness we crave, along with a gentler caffeine feeling.

I also really love the Pu-erh Tahiti tea, which reminded me of Hawaii. It is easy to drink it, close your eyes, and imagine you're near the ocean at a fancy spa. If you haven't given Pu-erh a try, I recommend it. In addition to being delicious, it has many health benefits including cholesterol lowering effects.

Having a variety of tea in the house, particularly high quality loose leaf teas, is a great way to improve both your life and your health. A cup of tea before bed is calming, and a shared pot is a nice way to encourage guests to relax and feel welcomed. As I get older, I'm less and less interested in drinking alcohol, but it's still nice to enjoy a beverage as I wind down. Tea is the answer, and these teas in particular are terrific.

Here's where you can get them yourself! Chai Tea Sampler and Pu-erh Sampler. Enjoy!
