Tea is better for you than water -
- or so the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition tells us.

Good news for me, since my tea intake is way up lately. My body has taken a strange dislike to coffee, and most days it isn't worth the hours of indigestion that follow my preferred daily half-pot. Since late spring I've been weaning myself off the java, and now I'm (sadly) down to less than a cup a week. I've missed my coffee; I'll miss it even more when cool weather finally hits us around ... December. Guess I've finally got a reason to be glad Florida gets mild winters - a short cold season to suffer thru without my morning jolt. Studies show green tea may help ward off cancer and Alzheimers - yet more reasons to refresh from the leaf, not the bean.
I'm keeping an eye on the tropics this week, as most of the gulf and east coast is. Ernesto is giving Haiti a rough time today, and is slowly moving north. So far the storm is tracking with more of an easterly curve with every update; we may get lucky yet again and have this miss us by many miles. Fingers crossed.

I'm a coffee drinker to the core. I like hot tea too, but it doesn't like me. Drinking tea cold is fine, but if I even have half a cup of hot tea I'm worshiping the porcelain god, and I have no clue why it does that too me.
Well, that was probably too much information, wasn't it? ROFL!
I really need to drink more tea. I like it hot and cold, but always tend to have coffee in the morning.
