Default Tea

Sooo, right now I'm imbibing in a beautiful lemongrass green tea. It really is amazing. I made a cup of my own personal stock of Jasmine Oolong tea for my mom... which is a big thing because it's special to me and delicious and rather expensive.
Tell me what kind of teas you love! I demand it...
And if you don't drink tea ( ), you should. It's very good for you and delicious.

Default Re: Tea

A lot of different things...
Constant Comment is a good one.
I like lemon-y teas a lot, and minty ones, and strange green tea mixes. Don't really have any expensive tea though, just the cheap drop a bag in some hot water ones.

Default Re: Tea

One southern stereotype I DO fit: I loooove iced sweet tea. As in I order it any time I can't find another drink I like on the menu, and I can barely stand hot tea any more.

Default Re: Tea

Tetley's Rooibos
English Breakfeast
Orange Jaipur (Lipton)
Japanese Green Tea (Uji no Tsuyu, Sen Cha)

and I NEVER put in any sugar or milk (ew).
I don't get that.

And Tea goes great with McVittie's Rich Tea
Biscuits or Hobnobs (YUMMMMM)

: )

Default Re: Tea

Hmm, I do tea, well and good, I was brought up on the stuff. I had my own little mug when I was weenie. ^^ A little Peter Rabbit one...

Hmmm, no sugar, and a little milk for the bog standard stuff, though Twinnings has to be my ideal brand, Liptons and the like only when Twinnings can't be found...

I also like Herbals and Fruits, but the top of the list has to be Rubush, it's just divine.

Oh.. that sounds good. I'd like to try that. EXPERIMENTATION TIME!

And Twinnings actually makes good teas. I like the sampler they have out there that is Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast, Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas. I'm not a huge fan of tea bags though because it can taste kinda cardboard-y at times. Loose leaves make my life better hahaha

Tea bags go stale very quickly,hence the cardboard taste, keep in a small airtight container if your not going to use them quickly.

I like Lady Grey for something strong and various fruit flavors in the evening. And I love plain iced tea with lime and just a dash of sweet tea on a hot Texas day!
