When it comes to cost, it’s toally tea time.

A peek at the retail prices for coffee may make you jittery. They’re up on average 20 percent from last year, according to the government’s consumer price report. Even though a few brands including Maxwell House, Folgers

and Dunkin’ Donuts have just announced prices will drop by some 6 percent, they’ll have to do better to match the days when you could brew on the cheap. Tea prices on the other hand haven’t moved, so now’s the time to take advantage of all the flavors, brands and even promises (I own a box that claims it will help you “Get Gorgeous”.) Many are just as caffinated and all have the same Just-Add-Water recipe.
