Blue Monday is here - supposedly the most depressing day of the year. But here on the online community, we know that every day can have its challenges but we're here for each other.


Whether you're feeling down, struggling with pain, or just need a friendly chat, let's have some fun and connect below. Share what's on your mind, offer a virtual hug, or suggest a good brew (tea, coffee, hot chocolate โ€“ whatever warms you up!). I recently tried apple and cinnamon herbal tea and its so good, I could bath in it!

Whatโ€™s your favourite hot drink?. Or are you more a cold drinker consumer?

My perfect cup of tea would be C4. Whatโ€™s yours?

    I'm definitely feeling Blue Monday today - Did not want to get out of bed. Although, a long walk yesterday in the Peak District definitely didn't help with that.

    D4 for me! Has to be strong โ˜•๏ธ

    Loose tea is better I think, I buy Yorkshire tea bit recently bought a brand that's stronger and tea from India. Why is it blue Monday

    But why is tea in plastic cups and why is paper visible in them?

    C4 I used to drink those latte satchets until I relized or maybe ignored the amount of calories one serving so now I'm addicted to tea !! C4 with one teaspoon of brown sugar

    Don't believe the hype! Brown sugar is just sugar without proper purification. I think refined sugar is better. And the best variety of tea is Darjeeling, even if grown in Kenya.

    Besides, I think the inventor of tea bags should burn in hell!

    I'm guessing because tea always tastes better when brewed properly with loose leaves. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    tea bags contain the lower quality tea leaves and dust while appearing cheaper work out costing more because loose leaf tea is the better quality leaves and can be used more than once

    Because tea in tea bags is of very poor quality, but at the same time it is expensive.
