All the Tea in China: One of My Favorite Blogs from a Friend Living with Her Family in China and a Sweet Deal on Tea

I love the idea of packing up the family and heading to live abroad...but in my case, my husband and I are pretty tethered to Chicago by our jobs. Thankfully, I can live vicariously through my friend Jane, who, along with her husband, Dave, is living out the adventure of a lifetime: They've moved to China where they now work as university instructors, while their three smart, adorable kids are completely immersed in all things China, including the language and school life. Check out Dave's stunning photography and get a first hand glimpse into everyday life in China by following their adventures on their blog, Slow Boat to China @ http://www.wellszawadowski.blogspot.com/

I usually don't pass these on but Jane got me thinking about my love of tea (she just had the chance to pick tea herself and participate in two traditional tea ceremonies!) when I received this deal from an affiliate program I participate with in my inbox:  $9 for $23 worth of certified organic and eco-friendly teas and accessories from Teatulia.com (Offer expires: 11:59 PM - May 20, 2011).

Here's a good article on the benefits of green tea. I drink about five cups of it (unsweetened and freshly brewed) each day. There are some interesting tea recipes on the Teatulia website, too - the Earl of Bengal Cookies sound delicious.
