Tea Drinkers Unite!
What's your favorite tea flavor and its manufacturer?
For me has to be Yorkshire tea, Tetley's, PG Tips, Typhoo (if I can get hold of them here in Canada) otherwise Loblaws own black tea is very good. If I go for the loose tea I like Dharjeeling or English breakfast.
Not keen on the flavoured tea or ice tea. For me it has to be hot with a splash of milk!
Miss those Jammy Dodgers and the custard creams and the bourbon creams ....hmmmm yummy!
Celestial Seasoning's Chocolate Raspberry(seep in 1/2c water, then add 1/2 almond milk, 3/4 tsp cocoa powder, 2 pkts splenda, shot raspberry syrup - yum!)
I also am a fan of anything mint.
Celestial Seasoning's Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Holiday Tea! Oh boy - when it's sold in the winter months I STOCK UP!!! I still have 3 more boxes!
Mine is Twinings Herbal Unwind. It comes in a couple of flavors, but I like the mandarin orange the best. I drink it strong and unsweetened.
I'm hooked on green tea with pomegrante !!!! No sweetener required! Hot or cold it's so good! I just don't know what brand it is :( black and green box.
Lipton made a vanilla caramel in their new triangle shaped teas... that one's really good and takes place of desert for me!
I do like vanilla chai too though.
Guayaki Yerba Mate loose leaf tea in my iced tea maker, I could and sometimes do drink it all day, it's super refreshing!
I have a few favorites....
1. Favorite Green Tea: 365 Organic bulk tea. Its surprisingly the best.
2. Favorite Black Tea: Mighty Leaf Organic Breakfast. Yum!
3. Favorite White Teas: Argo Tea's Blueberry White AND The Tea Spot's Meditative Mind
4. Favorite Mint Tea: Choice Organic Peppermint tea and my homegrown mint tea =)
Mint made from fresh mint leaves - manufacturer - Mother Nature
I love Leland Tea Company! They're based in San Francisco, and have the most adorable tea shop, where they serve afternoon tea and whatnot. I visit whenever I'm up there, but they also have a fantastic online store with a wide selection of loose leaf teas with cute names.
My personal favorite blends that they make:
Black Teas:
Bingo Bango Mango, Bogart, Pear Caramel
Herbal Blends:
Ginger Rogers
Oolong:
Me Love Oolong Time
White:
Casablanca
Also, in West LA, we have a small chain of coffee/tea shops called Groundwork. They have a great selection of (also loose leaf) teas.
Haven't met an Earl Grey I didn't like.

Ugh - I have. I hate, hate hate Tazo Tea's Earl Grey - it tastes like Tang. Definitely something artificial going on there.
I love tea. I love all kinds of tea. I like it iced, I love it hot, I'll drink it sweet (but prefer it unsweet, always have), I'll drink it with milk. I like traditional black teas best, but I even like most herbal tisanes, with the exception of anything made with chamomile.
My perennial favorite has to be Bigelow's Constant Comment, though. Think I'll go make a cup right now!
Pg Tips, Tetlyes or Typhooo, nice and strong with a good splash of milk! I drink 4-5 cups a day without fail.
I hate fruit flavoured or herbal teas with a passion.
Omgosh, HOW am I brittish and so late to post on this thread?! Life without tea would almost certainly not be as good.
Whilst I do really like the odd cup of green tea with lemon, rooibos, or even fruit infusion, what I really REALLY like is yorkshires finest, brewed nice and strong, with a dash of milk. I have been know to sip my way through 6 cups a day, but now at uni I tend to have tetleys (also yum) and stick to 3-4 cups.
It practically counts toward your fruit and veg doesn't it....? :-D
Hi again!
I once had a bunch of women friends come over for a "Tea leaf and Tarot Party" where we had high tea...scones, rose petal jam, lemon curd, clotted cream, and finger sandwiches...with 3 teas: Lapsang Souchon, Earl Grey, and Shotgun. We had several decks of Taort cards and told each others fortunes, and read our tea leaves from a book of tea leaf formations and their meanings. It was really fun. I made everything homemade, and gave all a couple take away gifts: Lace Drawer Sachets and rose petal jam. They had a great time -I should do it again!
Is my sodium intake too low?
You have nothing to worry about because sodium deficiency is extremely rare. In fact, there is not even an recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA... Read more
