i heart macro Sunday

There seems to be a new obsession in our house:  tea.

For Christmas, I gave my husband a few different loose leaf teas along with a tea strainer.  The next thing I knew, I was back at the tea store picking up a few more varieties for him.

His favorite thus far is a rooibus tea:


The kiddo has also developed a taste for herbal tea (well, she loves to smell it after it has brewed and will sip a small amount and rub her tummy).  She likes the blueberry and orange:



I have never liked tea, but I have developed a fondness (much to my husband's delight) for a mate chai and a white chai:



The different colors and textures of each tea are just beautiful.


And who can resist German rock sugar?  For a treat, add one little bit for just a touch of sweetness.

  4. Great photos of these yummy looking teas. I have recently grown very fond of a chai tea that is sold in the Dallas area at Central Market, which is so fun to go shopping at. That German rock sugar looks awesome with the tea. Thanks for sharing!
