I'm a fan of Roobios too. It's a nice, slightly sweet and nutty red tea. Some other tea staples in my kitchen cupboard include Peppermint (for digestion) and Lavender (for it's calming properties). The aromas alone while the it steeps are lovely. Thanks for the comment, Andrea. Ah yes! I’m a fan of Roobios too. It’s a nice, slightly sweet and nutty red tea.

My favorites include Tulsi Tea (the rose is my favorite) which I was served by an Indian friend when I had the flu as it is supposed to be great for the immune system. And my new tea-of-choice is Roobios. I've been enjoying Yogi brand Chai Roobios and I'm totally in love with it. Roobios was mentioned at the conference for its anti-cancer properties, and the chai roobios by yogi also has cinnamon which increases insulin sensitivity (a good thing). It is delicious and I feel like I'm doing something good for my health while I'm drinking it! Thanks for this great post Amy!
