    I like the cinnamon tea and sweet orange tea. I do drink coffee in the mornings also.

    Sweet orange tea sounds delicious. I have my eye on something similar to that, that I want to try. I'm off the coffee again, so am indulging in my tea. I hadn't had black in a while, but have a bunch in the house now, so have been drinking that, with green occasionally. The other teas i have here are caffeinated, so I can't have those right now, but I'm looking forward to a nice cup of oolong soon, as well as another cup of coffee.

    I was always a tea drinker until about 10 years ago when my brother started to buy me coffee from Tim Horton. Then I got hooked on coffee and now I can't get off it very easily. I crave it all day long. Instant is what I want for some reason. The sugar and cream probably is putting weight on me...which I hate.

    Someday I will find my way back to tea.

    I tried cinnamon and sour orange tea, but that combination didn't really work out well. :D

    Yes, iced tea is delicious to drink when it's hot, you will feel so fresh after drinking it. :)

    Ice tea is definitely great, especially when it's hot (in the Summer), do you have any recipes for ice tea?

    I like iced tea as long as it is freshly prepared. The stuff that comes in cans or bottles is, at least in my opinion, horrible. The best iced tea I ever had was on a roasting hot July day in Slovenia. We were strolling through the centre of Ljubljana and sat down outside a cafe by the river, under the shade of a tree and ordered some iced tea. We were probably only there for 20-30 minutes, but it was one of those truly blissful moments you look back on with great fondness.

    I love both coffee and tea...but, for the most part I drink tea.

    Hmm, I usually drink Mint Ice Tea, made with real mint, not with tea bags. I only use tea bags if they're Lipton (I love their lemon ones), because those are the best tasting ones. Anything else is just plain mediocre or outright disgusting for me.

    Yes, it's rubbish. I think that preparing you're own ice tea is going to make you more happy than buying it. Everything that is prepared by us, will be later more enjoyed. Sounds like a great time you've spent there in Slovenia, did you like the country in general?

    Wow, I haven't drank iced mint tea yet. Does it taste well? :D
    I agree Lipton tea bags, are great if you're trying to make iced tea, especially raspberry and cranberry. :)

    I was only in Ljubljana, but it is a lovely city. It is quite small and there are three rivers that run through it. I would say that Ljubljana and Riga are the two most picturesque capitals in Europe. I believe that the area around Lake Bled is very beautiful, too.

    I have been to Krakow, which is a very nice city. One of the characters in my novel comes from Wroclaw, so I may have to go there one day!
