I love tea anytime of day but I find it especially soothing during long studying hours or reading. Would love a chance to try The Honest Leaf tea.
ReplyI love tea anytime of day. I drink it mid morning, early afternoon and sometimes early evening. Peppermint and green tea are my favourites.
ReplyI absolutely LOVE tea! I especially love it in the winter (I definitely enjoyed it this past winter!), but also find it soothing every other time of year! I often use tea to satisfy my sweet cravings and to prevent me from experiencing a 3pm low (It also prevents me from reaching for that chocolate bar!!!) I would LOVE to try this brand :)
ReplyMy favorite time to have tea is at night before bed. It is a nice treat and it helps me wind down.
ReplyGreen tea after a meal.....yummy
ReplyI LOVE DRINKING TEA RIGHT BEFORE I START STUDYING AND RIGHT AFTER DINNER, BEFORE BED!
ReplyIn the morning! Green tea gets my day started off on the right foot.
ReplyMy absolute favourite tea at the moment is green tea, as I'm finding that it gives me an extra energy boost that is needed in the afternoon. I also love all of the health benefits that green tea has to offer. I am also crazy about anything with ginger in it. Finding a natural tea without unnecessary added ingredients is important to me, so I would love to try this brand of tea!
ReplyI love tea anytime but especially when reading a book and before bed
ReplyI love to enjoy tea in the evening!
ReplyTea time any time! Green tea with jasmine and peppermint are my favorite!

ReplyI love to drink tea anytime... as long as my sister doesn't accidentally dip her foot in it like she does sometimes!
ReplyHonestly I really love coffee most of all still but enjoy buying various teas to enjoy according to mood or health needs. I prefer organic and sustainably harvested (or herbs from my own garden). Our winters are loooong and I tend to drink tea in the afternoon and evenings to warm up but also live herbal iced teas (my kids do too). I look forward to checking out this brand:)
ReplyIf I happen to awaken during the night, instead of tossing around in bed, I have a cup of tea, read for no more than 1/2 hour and go back to bed...and crash!

ReplyI have a green tea of some sort (either straight up green or flavoured, all organic, no artificial flavours) right after supper and a tea of some sort (either green or white or herbal) after lunch. On the weekends, I will change up my afternoon with anything whether it's herbal, black, matcha, mate, pu'erh, rooibos. I love tea.
