Thanks for your thoughts, Tea Party Girl. I think the tea I drink is moderately priced. Not totally el-cheapo but somewhere in the middle. I used to use heavy cream all the time but after reading your post I tried milk for a bit, then I switched to half-and-half which seems to be a happy medium. I might try milk again after awhile, because after switching I did agree that the heavy cream got in the way of the tea’s flavour. Maybe I need time to adjust.

Interesting feedback, y’all! If you buy expensive tea, though, try it with just the milk for a more subtle addition that won’t dominate the tea’s nuances. But whatever rocks your boat!

Thanks for the link.

I like my heavy cream. Bah. [disagrees] The rest of it was good though!

I know! No foil to keep the herbs fresh at all. It’s insane. Fortunately I think herbal infusions aren’t as delicate as real tea. I hope anyway!

I like using half-and-half or heavy cream in black tea. I like the silkiness it adds. I would definitely like to investigate a filtering option for our water, there are too many minerals in it.

Proper storage is essential. Celestial Seasonings‘ tea packaging makes no sense to me at all!
