Tea Drinkers Unite!

What's your favorite tea flavor and its manufacturer?

i love just plain Lipton Iced tea :) with lots of sugar! it is one of a few weeknesses I have. I'm a southern girl.

It depends........

I like Bigalow Gingersnappish

I also drink a lot of Bigalow or Celestial Seasonings mint teas.

For plain tea -- Lipton, unsweetened.

I think I drink more tea than anyone in the world...

Usually a cup or two of (Bigelow) green tea in the afternoon with a slice of lemon.

I like red tea in the morning; the box I have says "Intaba - Teas of Africa" but I'm not sure if that's the brand or not.

After dinner - Yogi Detox in peach, Yogi Antioxidant in Berry, or Trader Joe's peppermint.

Before bed - Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer or a Ginger-Peppermint blend.

I'm a big fan of anything from Harney Teas.

I think their Kagoshima is my favorite green tea and their Golden Monkey my favorite black tea.  Their Chinese Flower tea is my favorite tisane.  YUM!!

I also reallly reallly like  this organic Earl GRey Rooibos I got from Rishi.  Fantastic aroma!

I wouldn't classify that as a tea.

Anyway I really like white teas from Peets Coffee, at home I brew green tea using loose leaves and add some lemon to it.

Tazo tea - Passion ... yummy!

I'm not much of a herbal tea drinker, but I love Twinning's Earl Grey (I drink too much of it probably... lol!) and the occassional cup of Chai to unwind from a long day.  Green tea is excellent with the right meal too :D

I love loose leaf black teas - Darjeeling, Irish Breakfast and Keemum are my favorites.  I also like Assam tea... and organic Bancha (Japanese green tea). 

For making iced tea, I found a delicious Lychee black tea at my local Asian market that is strong enough in flavor, yet has a hint of sweetness in the background.  Makes an excellent, almost "fruity," iced tea that tastes delicious unsweetened, and is never bitter.   I serve this iced tea at barbeques all the time to family & friends who are used to slightly sweetened iced tea, and everyone loves it.

I usually buy tea in bulk from oceanoftea.com or specialteas.com, unless I find a good quality tea at the local market. 

flavoured tea??  pumpkin spice =D =D by tim horton's

regular?  dragonwell green tea

yes, tea lovers unite :D:D:D

It's a local tea - Turkey Hill, but even the diet tastes soooo sweet. Yummy!

Bagged teas:

Twinings English Breakfast, Salada Green Tea (unadorned by yucky flavor additives)

Loose teas:

Teavana's jasmine pearls, darjeeling, Golden Monkey

I like fresh ginger root tea.  Wash, peel and slice a 1" piece of ginger root.  Put it in 2 cups of water and simmer for 5 minutes.  Let steep for another 10 minutes. 

To make tea, pour about 1/4 cup of this strong mixture and add 3/4 cups of water.  Sweeten to taste and serve either heated or cold over ice. 

It settles the stomach even though it tastes spicy.

I've done that, it is also good for arthritis!

I love tea!  lately I've been drinking 8-10 cups a day...is that too much?!?

But my absolute favorite is Bigelow's Vanilla Caramel, then their Vanilla Chai, then tazo china green tea, then (i forget the brand) vanilla maple, then raspberry apple zinger, and oh the list goes on...

I just started drinking the Black Pearl tea from Lipton. I think the Black Pearl name really caught my attention. Those advertisers are so tricky. Me = sucker.

I have loved tea since I was 12 years old, I would drink plain old Lipton black tea hot with sugar back then. Now I still love to drink tea but I don't do the sugar. My favorites are Lipton black tea, Bigelow Earl Grey Green and Vanilla Chai. I also like Tazo Green Ginger tea. What I drink when has to do with the weather, time of day and mood. Anyway for whatever the reason you have to love the tea.  

I don't know if there are Turkey Hills where you are, but their Diet Green Tea with Mango is my Kryptonite. :)

Tazo "Zen" Green Tea with Lemongrass and Spearmint.

I love Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea.  It's basically chamomile.  My favorite tea is Red Rose tea.  It smells divine while steeping.

I also like Twinnings English Breakfast and Bigelows Earl Grey.

I used to drink tea with two teaspoons of sugar, but now I go with lemon mostly or nothing at all.  I have honey sometimes in my green tea.

I thought I'd share this idea with you a friend of mine suggested.  I take loose leaf tea of any kind, put it in my coffee grinder and grind the crap out of it.  Depending on how long you grind it, it can be fine or coarse.  You'd be amazed at how little of it you have to use when it's ground, to get the same flavour you get from unground.  It makes your teas, especially the expensive ones, go a long, long way.  I use a little spoon I got with stevia that's like that little scoop on the end of a swizzle stick, and two of those in a regular cup is plenty for most teas.
