Following on from the successful clearing out of my spices, I had a go at sorting out my tea and coffee. There's a lot more tea than I thought!!! To be fair some were gifts as folk know I like 'nice' teas but some of them I did buy myself. I have a ton of Pukka herbal teas. The larger Kilner jar and the Yorkshire Tree tin plus the actual Pukka box are full of herbal teas designed to fight off colds etc.
I have unopened boxes/jars/tins of Tetley green teabags, loose Earl Grey and 2 lots of camomile. I have some opened green jasmine tea, Whittards Christmas herbal loose tea and the loose tea I got from my afternoon tea at the Balmoral.
I've also got my own home grown and dried applemint, sage and elderflower. There's some loose echinacea I use in my elderberry syrup mixture. The smaller Kilner jar has Sencha Rose loose tea (it's delicious but almost finished) and then I have some bog standard PG Tips teabags (not pictured) I use these teabags because they're biodegradable but they've changed the pack sizes recently 😠 So it's fair to say I've got plenty of tea to keep me going in the coming shortages!! 🫖
My coffee collection isn't as big!! 😂 It's fairly self explanatory except the coffee capsules aren't mine. I'm strictly instant or filter in a cafetiere! ☕ I used to be quite fussy about my brand (Percol Americano) but I like the supermarket own brand now and it's hugely cheaper! I generally have 2 or 3 large mugs of coffee in the morning. Never ask me anything before that first coffee!!!!! Then I move onto tea in the afternoon and herbal teas at night. I've given up buying Diet Coke (again!) so the only other drink I have is water.
It's a foul weather day here. The organised dog training walk group has been cancelled so my day is my own. Time for a bit of painting if I can get some peace from Luna!! 🐕
Gosh, that's a good selection of teas and coffees, it should keep you going for a while. I'm much simpler in that department, I don't drink any tea as it all makes me ill. I have tried so many over the years but now I've given up. As for coffee I only drink instant Nescafe at home, so if I were to sort out my coffees for a photo there would just be one jar of decaf and two jars of regular Nescafe, plus two refill pouches as they were on a really good offer just before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOur weather is foul here too, non stop rain all night and it's still falling.
I honestly didn't realise I had that many teas!! About half were gifted but there's no point having them if I don't drink them. Tea is one of the things that's going to be in short supply (apparently) so I know I'm sorted if that happens :-) xxx
DeleteI like a mug of cocoa occasionally, real cocoa, real milk and a bit of sugar, made in the microwave, in the mug. A treat.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to like hot chocolate but I just don't. I've even tried it with different non dairy milks but nope. My DIL loves it with marshmallows as a treat :-) xxx
DeleteYou have quite a selection there of all sorts, most I've never heard of! Should keep you in hot drinks for a good while.
ReplyDelete(I only have one cup of tea a day so your stash would last me years.)
Now that I've made a note of them it will be interesting to see how long they last me! :-) xxx
DeleteWe have to supply a small prize for the raffle at a beetle drive. I have bought some gold label tea bags. They might be very much appreciated if the scaremongering in the news causes shortages.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be like loo roll all over again!! :-) xxx
DeleteWe drink green tea, coffee and water. I drink decaff and husband drinks Americano Intenso but switches to decaff later in the day. I wonder if all the scare,ongering will be the toiletpapergate of 2024. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI think it might be! Good job I drink a variety so it won't be too much of disaster for me if there's a shortage :-) xxx
DeleteWhat a great selection of teas. I think you might manage to make it through any tea shortage that could be coming.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I certainly hope so!! :-) xxx
DeleteEnough to keep you going for ages - splendid! xx
ReplyDeleteMore by accident than design!! :-) xxx
DeleteHaving loathed Earl Grey tea most of my adult life, suddenly it's my favourite but I have to buy decaf otherwise I get palpitations from too much caffeine - I allow myself one full caffeine coffee a day, in the morning, and that's a pod as I can't stand instant 😀

Having cut out a lot things that aren't 'good' for me, coffee is my one vice. But I only drink it in the morning now to wake me up! :-) xxx
