Do you drink green tea? I do. I drink a lot of it. Every day I have, at minimum, one cup. Usually I have many more than that. I don’t add anything to my tea. I enjoy the flavor the green tea. I also drink one cup of black coffee in the morning. My taste buds work that way.
Yesterday I came across this image on Haley Hobson’s Facebook page. If you haven’t checked out her blog or her Facebook page, you really should! You’re missing out!!! I immediately shared the photo on my page. It always makes me happy to come across these kinds of images. It is no secret that I do not drink pop. My beverage vices are black coffee and green and herbal teas. My one cup of coffee first thing in the morning, water, and tea are the only beverages I ingest. 
There are so many good reasons to drink green tea, so if you aren’t, you should be. On top of all of those wonderful points, the light amount of caffeine in it can give you the boost you need when you are feeling sluggish in the afternoon, or morning! It gives me my super powers. Especially after a long morning with a toddler. A cup of green tea can really make my day much better. I allow myself the moments to prepare it, no matter what craziness is going on. Jack even knows what tea is. When he sees me with my mug he will say “tea.” Momma needs her tea break sweetie. Trust me!
My favorite green tea is Jade Cloud Green Tea from Spice and Tea Exchange. I don’t really drink any other kind of green tea. I just really love it. Their product description calls it a “smooth & mellow cup.” I have to agree.

My husband even got me a travel tea mug with an infuser for Christmas. It works really well. It has two different lids, one with the infuser and one without. The one with even has an additional screw on lid, so that when you are done, you can remove that entire piece and place it lid down, so excess tea water does not leak everywhere. The hole in the drinking lid is large enough for a straw. I drink my tea through a straw. Even my hot tea. I actually don’t really care for iced tea, to be honest. There is something so soothing about a nice hot cup of tea in your belly.
I am a green tea addict. I am a tea addict in general. I also have an obsession with Ginger Turmeric tea. MMMM MMM MMMMM! I share that tea with my little man, because it is caffeine free. He won’t eat most of the meals I make him, but he will sip Ginger Turmeric tea, so that makes sense!
Do you drink green tea? Black tea? Herbal teas? What is your favorite tea? Have you discovered the health benefits of drinking tea?

I’m a HUGE fan of green tea. The medicinal properties are so beneficial to your digestive system!
LOVE! love love, green tea I even picked up some decaffeinated tea (the nursing) but I drink at least 4 cups of some sort daily (Mother’s Milk and ginger are big in our house right now).
I am excited for the days in the future when I can up my caffeine intake but my cup of coffee in the morning is a must with my little guys’ every hour teething nightmare sleep habits right now. 😉 I know you can relate! — So I keep my caffeinated teas to a minimum during the day especially after 4 p.m.
Yes I vividly remember how he didn’t sleep through the night for the 1st year and how much I enjoyed my one cup of coffee in the morning! Jack recently got about 4 molars. Both of his canine teeth just cut through at the same time this week. It doesnt keep him up at night but it makes his mood unpleasant during the day. Lots of tantrums. So “mommy needs a tea break to deal with all this drama right now” is my favorite part of the day sometimes 😉
I start every day with a big mug of green tea. My favorite is Yogi Green Tea Energy – I get it through the Vitamin Shoppe online because they price it at about 1/2 what you’d pay at Whole Foods 🙂
