Although I'm happy to experience the various plants that different countries and cultures have to offer whilst on my travels I couldn't be without my selection of teas, in particular Earl Grey and Rooibos with vanilla. Tea comes in many flavours and colours (green, red, black, orange, lavender, etc). You can even have Christmas tea. How good is that!!
