NuevaVida -> Tea for Two (10/29/2008 12:16:04 AM)

So, I'm exhausted but yet again can not sleep. I'm out of chamomile tea, so I pulled some tea out of the cupboard that I haven't tried before - Ginger Something-Or-Other. It's gross. I'm still drinking it, but it's gross. Go figure.

What's your favorite tea? I'm mostly a coffee drinker, but I do like Assam tea, and I'm partial to Jasmine. I bought some loose leaf jasmine tea in SF's Chinatown not too long ago, but I don't have anything to steep it in yet.

Any tea drinkers here? Do you drink it "straight?" Cream and sugar? Honey? And what's your favorite?

I like tea when it is snowing or I am sick. I don't have a favorite really, I just try not to get the same kind each time.



osocurious -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 12:33:41 AM)

( first thing in the morning - gotta have coffee [>:]  )
durring the day - I'm partial to Earl Grey with lemon
( durring the summer I use Tetley Tea to make my suntea )
evening - normally it's a cuppa chamomile

I really like tea and love trying all the different flavors and blends  [:)]

Nueva Vida, have you ever tried Valarian Tea??
It might be just the thing to help you sleep.

I'm only just starting to really like tea. I never drank it much before, but for some reason I'm drinking it more now. I like green tea and mint tea, not too partial to fruit flavored tea (unless it's mango iced tea). I know there are some really good exotic teas out there, too, which I'd like to learn about.

Now I want to get a good teapot. I have a pretty china teacup that I drink my tea from. It makes me feel good. [:)] With coffee I need a big ol' thick mug. For tea, something light and pretty.

Green Tea



piratecommander -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 2:14:09 AM)

English Breakfast tea.......double strength



moonvine -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 2:15:13 AM)

Chai tea.  Also Stash's Christmas Morning tea, eggnog tea...there are so many teas out there.  If I see a tea that looks interesting I will try it, it is cheap enough and if I don't like it I can pawn it off on a friend or something.

I do like raspberry tea.

I drink it straight, no cream or sugar, and quite strong.  I don't like weak tea.



LadyTeazer -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 2:35:22 AM)

I used to be a coffee only drinker -- no tea unless it was summer, and it was iced tea.  Lipton's Raspberry tea... yummmmmmmmmmmm.

Although I still drink coffee, I am drinking more tea year round.  Particularly green tea (trying to do healthy things for me).   Years ago, I used to drink it the "English" way (or so I've heard) -- with sugar and a bit of cream in it.   

Recently, I've started using honey as a sweetener, rather than sugar.  Again, a healthy thing.  Honey is a "natural" sweetener (not processed/refined as sugar is), plus I read somewhere that it also has anti-bacterial properties.

Green tea is good, but I must have variety.  I prefer the fruit flavored regular (black, or orange pekoe) teas -- Lipton's Raspberry tea, Peach, Lemon, and Orange and Spice.  I found a Cherry-Vanilla  flavored off-brand tea (Bentley's, I think) that is quite good, too.

I like my tea the same way I like my coffee, and My men.......  ~hot, and strong~.     [:D]

divi -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 4:11:04 AM)

I love tea!  I drink lots of Chai and regular tea with milk and sugar.  I also loves to make the Lipton Cold Brew with Splenda... yum



Dnomyar -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 4:12:52 AM)

Any cold iced tea. No flavoring or sugar.



bondagelover1950 -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 4:37:27 AM)

Never been much of a Tea drinker as I much prefer coffee myself. Strong enough to double as bore cleaner and so black you would swear that someone dropped a "black hole" into the cup. Hot is optional as I like it hot OR cold.

sambamanslilgirl -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 4:55:15 AM)

i'm a long time tea drinker and drink it hot or cold.

i enjoy my Lipton tea with honey, lemon and sugar



BRNaughtyAngel -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 5:45:16 AM)

I love my sweet iced tea!  Just good ole Lipton is fine with me.

I am not a big hot tea drinker, but do love Earl Grey. 

Master and I are playing an online game and have met a group of players from Indonesia who love some tea called Teh Tarik.  I want to try it at some point as it's made with condensed milk!  Mmmm!




GreedyTop -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 7:27:09 AM)

I like the celestial seasonings herbal teas...not that I drink tea all that much.



xxblushesxx -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 9:25:30 AM)

A really good oolong is the best I've had.
I also like peppermint tea and lemon tea.



NuevaVida -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 8:56:42 PM)

Oh, Christina, I have heard good things about Oolong and have forgotten all about it - thanks for reminding me!



AquaticSub -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 9:22:31 PM)

Sweet tea. I make it by the gallon for Val and myself. :-)

Hot tea I usually like just about anything herbal and I mix in honey.



Roselaure -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 9:35:00 PM)

I love Earl Gray, and good old chamomile.  In the midwest where I grew up we used to drink Sassafras tea, which was delicious, although I haven't had it in years.  Right now I'm going through a mint tea phase.  Love it.

I love mint tea. Even as iced. Yum.



moonvine -> RE: Tea for Two (10/29/2008 10:36:12 PM)

I am trying to figure out what kind of tea I want tonight.  Most of the teas I want burned up in the fire, unfortunately.  Like the eggnog tea *sniff*.
