From Sleeping to Steeping: Starting My Day with Tea

There is no classy way to say this: I love Sugar Free Red Bull. It is embarrassing. It is tacky. It is gross.
So, I am constantly trying to find other ways to feed by need for cold caffeine in the morning.
Sure, there is iced coffee, and I love it! But, I am not ALWAYS in a coffee kind of mood, and I don't always have iced coffee on hand. Icing hot coffee is of course an option, but I have a real aversion to watery coffee.

Enter, David's Tea. I have posted about this Canadian company before, and I am sure I will again. They have an incredible assortment of teas, and I cannot get enough of them. I feel somewhat goopy saying this, but they have honestly made me feel better in so many ways! Whether it is the tea I use to go to sleep, or the tea I use to stave off a cold, they have something for (almost) everything.

David's Tea just came out with The Buzz, which is their most caffeinated tea, and my new morning go-to: 

Something about drinking this over ice, out of a wine glass, really gets my day going in the right direction.

Here it is, described by the company. Amazing.

Typically I would not think of iced tea as an alternative to my beloved SFRB (we shall not name it again), but this tea does in fact give a sufficient boost, even to the fiendiest of fiends.

I am also loving their Grand Cru Matcha. The best of the best when it comes to matcha powder, and an excellent alternative to coffee. I got myself set up with their matcha kit, and making a matcha latte is easier than one would think, based on all the gear that comes with it.

My matcha latte. Just water, matcha powder and a splash of milk. For a bit of sweetness, I add some of their agave syrup from time to time.
