I’ll probably never be allowed back into my tea-loving home county of Yorkshire for saying this but I’m actually more of a coffee person. I need at least a couple of cups to get me going in the morning, often have a third mid-morning, sometimes even a fourth mid-afternoon and, do espresso Martinis count…? Every now and again I sense my caffeine intake is getting out of control (!) and I go cold turkey. But I can’t give up hot drinks altogether, so I reach for a herbal tea instead. I’m usually pretty safe and stick to peppermint but when Charlotte suggested a post on the benefits of different types of tea I took it as a sign to get experimental. This is what I’ve been drinking recently…
