BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Tea CoronaVirus Check In

Dear Readers,

Thoughts on the Coronavirus vaccine. It seems relieving. Stay masked up, practice social distancing, and always wash your hands with lather for at least the count of 20. I'm hoping all is well with you. Spend your holidays safely.

Dear Tea Readers,
I hope your holidays were nice, peaceful and that you were surrounded with love and laughter, whether via Zoom meeting or in face-to-face family gatherings.

I started this thread back in 2020, and I must say I cannot believe that it is still relevant in (now) January 2022! I hope all of you are well and managing during these times. Keep the tea flowing as we now go into our coldest times of winter here in the Midwestern United States, we try to boost our immunity as best we can.

With love and light.

Mary, it's been a strange two years to be sure. Tea keeps us going.....

Dear Angie,

Cheers to hoping we are coming out of this finally. Hang in there everyone.

Sure hope we are coming out of this cycle. Our trips over the past two years were all postponed. We hope to do some traveling this year.

I'm finishing up Sugar Plum and Christmas Berry Teas. For Christmas I received a bunch of boxes of Hickory Farms tea. I'll keep you posted. I could probably open a tea shop with what i have on hand.

Question for you. When Teavanna was bought out by Starbucks, who was the tea supplier? They had some of the most wonderful tea flavors. Starbucks doesn't sell tea or do they.

Dear Angie,

While I do not find myself at Starbucks that often, I do know that they do sell tea. Starbucks did "buy out" all of Those Tevanna shops and that is what is currently on the menus! They carry Tevanna full leaf. They carry many hot & Iced teas

examples
Hot

Royal English Breakfast tea
Earl Grey
London Fog Latte

**All of these can also be made as cold drinks!

Herbals


Mint majesty
Peach tranquility

Perhaps I need to go head over to my nearest Starbucks their menu sounds great!

Guess, I'll have to check it out. I purchased some loose tea before Teavanna went out and it is in a vacuum canister and still as good as the day I purchased it. I have a load of tea in house at the moment so I'm not in a hurry.
