A warm cup of tea on a cold, wet day

Don't know about your part of the world, but its cold and wet in Pittsburgh today. Just the kind of weather that makes me want to curl up with a hot cup of tea! Have you ever noticed how soothing tea can be? You wrap your hands around a nice warm mug and enjoy the inviting aroma. A sip of tea just warms you from the inside out!

I bought a pair of teacup earrings from a street artist once. The little cups had soft curlicues rising out of them. The coffee cup earrings had jagged lightening bolts coming out of them. Sort of shows you the difference in drinking these two beverages, huh?

What tea offerings do you have for someone who is pregnant? I'm excited to visit and try the right tea since coffee is OUT. Thanks for any helpful information and I look forward to coming in.

Hmm...I've never been pregnant, so I don't really know! We've had several baby showers at the Purple Rose Tearoom, and the expectant moms all drank tea.

I'm guessing you'd want to avoid caffeine. We have plenty of decaf and herbal teas. Decaf teas do have small amounts of caffeine, but herbal teas have none. I don't know of ones that would be particularly good for pregnancy, though. You should ask your doctor for a suggestion. In the meantime, I'll keep looking around for information for you. I'm sure someone at the World Tea Expo will know!
