5 of Best Tea Blends for Fall

These 5 of best tea blends for fall will help keep those autumnal chills at bay. The fragrances as they steep will bring you back to tranquility and peace

Ah, the crispness of autumn air. There’s nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of tea as the leaves turn. With every sip, you can feel the warmth spreading through you, each blend offering its own unique comfort. Whether you’re starting your day with a gentle hug in a cup, or winding down around the campfire with family and friends, tea is the unsung hero of fall. Let’s take a closer look at some of the best blends to accompany you this season.

But first I will confess that the first tea on my list has become one of my favourites.  Lately I have found myself replacing my coffee with the Stash Cinnamon Chai tea. I will brew a cup in the mid-afternoon and retreat to my balcony to contemplate the day so far.  I love the cinnamon aroma as it wraps me like a warm hug.  Then the spicy aroma will have filled my work area as I return to work.  

One final addition, for those of us with borderline or full-fledged diabetes, I did some research on sugar levels.  Sometimes much of the flavour is added with sugary products.  Most of these suggestions to my surprise were low in sugar content.

Al of Big Al’s Coffee Club.  From the time in my youth, when I would lay on our garage roof watching planes traverse the skies above me, I knew I wanted to see the world. 

My passion grew after spending a semester of my university days in Barcelona.  I spent more time on trains and buses or coffee houses than I did in class.  

After earning my BA from Carleton University, life got in the way.  But I did find time to graduate again from George Brown in Fitness and Lifestyle Management and then work my way through most of a degree in Sports Administration. However I needed to find work and pay for all this education! 

It wasn’t until my “middle age” did I start exploring the world again.  First, transversing the US and Canada to take part in tennis tournaments. Then later to complete my spectator “grand slam” of tennis.  

I accomplished this while earning my certificate in photography from Toronto Metropolitan University.  I am now combining the two passions and now sharing with you my many lessons learned.  And my passion for coffees and teas.
