Adam Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 When it gets cold and you need to be warmed up, a good cup of tea does wonders. It warms the soul and heart What kind of tea does everyone enjoy? My personal favorite is Green Tea. I love the taste and it has many health benefits Quote
Guest ii Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 While I'm normally a coffee person, I do love a nice cup of tea when I'm feeling chilly. Usually Rooibos, I took a likening to it back in Africa. Also most flavored black teas do fine. But Rooibos is my go-to tea, when there isn't a specific "I need a cup of lemon tea" -type feeling.

Echo Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 There are too many! I have a great Honey-Vanilla-Chamomile right now. I also love green tea, with just a little bit of honey, and Chai tea with milk. If I want something stronger, I'll go for Earl Grey. I also drink Peppermint tea whenever I have a tummy ache. Quote
Nici Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Good old builders tea for me - PG Tips preferably Quote
Roland Butter Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I'm with Nici on this - can't be doing with all that hippie stuff. Yorkshire Tea's the thing in our house right now. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I drink most of my tea in work where they supply us with PG tips. At home I drink fair trade tea. Normally Tea Direct. But yep, has to be good old English breakfast tea, none of this fancy nonsense. Quote
madcow Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Good old builders tea for me - PG Tips preferably Same here, can't beat a nice cup of PG Quote
Echo Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 It's absolutely freezing in our house right now, so I'm off to have a good, hot, strong cup of Earl Grey! Quote
Princess Orchid Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Bubble tea (taro flavour, with milk). Or peppermint tea for everyday. Or Vanilla Rooibos. I don't "do" caffeine really, so bubble tea is about as caffeinated as I get! Quote
Adam Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 and Chai tea with milk. I LOVE Chai tea. The one from Starbucks is sooooooo good! Quote
Echo Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I LOVE Chai tea. The one from Starbucks is sooooooo good! Yes, their Chai Tea Latte is rather wonderful, to say the least! I just had a cup of Crabtree & Evelyn Afternoon Tea. I used to be a manager there, so I have a lot of their tea around. Quote
pontalba Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Taylors of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast Tea black, no sugar or milk The best! Quote
Lilywhite Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Good old PG brewed for ages and a tiny drop of milk. No sugar, I'm sweet enough Quote
The Green Fairy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I like ordinary tea best but loose leaf, strong and made in a pot preferably. I enjoy the whole ritual of tea making so that makes me a bit sad, I suppose Quote
~Andrea~ Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Oh loose leaf tea in a teapot is wonderful. Haven't gone to the trouble for years. Even tea brewed in a pot from teabags tastes better than putting the teabag in the mug. I'm going to get some loose leaf tea and get my teapot out soon. I know what you mean about the ritual too. It's all very British isn't it. It's great. (Although I'm not sure where you're from Green Fairy, maybe it's not so British to you) Quote
pontalba Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 For years a friend had been telling me that the loose tea was far superior. I laughed at him. /sigh/ Well, he was right. Much richer flavor. I've bought a couple of those iron teapots, and the ones I bought have a stainless steel strainer that really keeps the tea clear from debris. If you search enough, they go on sale at Amazon or Republic of Tea every so often and are well worth having. Quote
SteffieB Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Have you tried Mighty Leaf tea? I order all my "good stuff" from them (mightyleaf.com) -- they have the best African rooibos ever, called African Nectar. I just tried a Chai that is so spicy and good. They have a Rainforest Mate' that's awesome and fruity, with a natural pick-me-up that's not caffeine. And the Orchid Oolong is a coconutty greeny oolong that is good hot or iced. Do I sound like a commercial? I just love every tea I've tried from them, and you can get loose or bags. They have lovely single mug strainers even. I also have PG that I found in the market here, surprisingly, some time back, and a Twinings loose Earl Grey. I like a variety:smile2: Quote
pontalba Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Oh that is a lovely site! No, I order the Harrogate from Teadog, originally I'd bought it through Amazon, but then they are rather spotty about carrying it, and Teadog advertised on Amazon, so that is how I found them. I don't really like fruity teas, I mostly drink the plain black tea, and occasionally a plain green or white tea. But I do like it strong and bitter. Quote
Adam Posted October 20, 2007 Author Posted October 20, 2007 I just had a cup of wild berry tea, so good Quote
Weave Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Earl Grey every time!Pp Is Earl Gray nice PP? X Quote

Whenever I've lived abroad I've always had me teapot and strainer close to hand, that and Marmite. A little bit of home!! Quote
angerball Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I normally just like "regular" tea like Typhoo, or Tetleys. Green tea is nice too, and lately I have been getting into Chai Tea. Yum! Quote
