Purple Star emoji 20 items
Got coffee? I sure hope so!  But maybe you're more of a tea person. Either way, this list delivers the best splurges for both worlds. And, I love both coffee and tea. For me, it's coffee in the morning and tea throughout the day. My favorite teas are mint and matcha. And … I'm a...

Teas I Can't Live Without

Sometimes you just want a simple cup of tea and for that, I choose Bigelow. While my favorite flavor is the mint medley, but Bigelow has much to offer from Earl Grey to Lemon Zinger, and more if you're not a minty person. And if you're unsure of whic...

I recently ordered a sample of this tropical-tasting tea. So glad i did. You can really taste the coconut flavor against the smooth black tea. No bitterness, either, which I appreciate even more. Definitely recommend.

This is the second tea I've tried from this brand and I am not disappointed. The flavor is rich and nutty and tastes just like biting into a pecan. Kai tea is loose tea. If you've never used loose tea, you'll be surprised by the richer flavor. And a ...

Although I favor another brand much of the time, Starbucks branded coffee does offer a nice selection. And… dare I say it?  They're pumpkin spice coffee offered in the fall ‘hands down' packs a powerful punch of flavor that's hard to beat. Of course, I also like the caramel macchiato, too. So, I absolutely recommend this coffee if you're looking to DIY your morning bean f... **I earn from qualifying purchases through the links in this post. #frugalhen #ad

I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't recommend Dunkin Donuts coffee for DIYers. And although I love the French vanilla flavored coffee, I've gotta admit, I really dig the Caramel Me Crazy and (when I can find it) Turtle Love and Cinnamania.

Love, love, love this percolator! We usually brew our coffee with an electric coffeemaker, but our area is prone to windstorms that lead to widespread power outages. So, we wanted a stovetop coffee percolator for those times. Since our old one broke,...

The first image is the tea ball that I use, and I love it. While you do occasionally get a couple small flakes from tea leaves in the tea, it's never an issue. And I think  the tea balls work much better than tea bags to diffuse the flavor more fully. They're simple to use. Just add about a tablespoon of loose tea to one side of the open tea ball. Lock the ball closed and dip it into a mug of hot water. I like to wrap t... **I earn from qualifying purchases through the links in this post. #frugalhen #ad

I've only tried the decaf coffee so far, and I'm not much of a decaf person. (I ordered decaf by mistake). That said, it was pretty good for a decaf coffee. However, I will be ordering another sample or two of Coffee Junkie's flavored (and caffeinate...
