it still sounds really neat dude

I drink Green tea or this Cinnamon Cider flavored Tea my mom buys. : 0

Can't say I've ever encountered the latter before.

It's super strong so it wakes me right up just from the smell. xD < 3

I don't think I've had that happen before, either. Is it an appetizing smell at least?

Surely everyone knows that Peppermint is superior!

That would be what I grew up on, more or less. I would have my little tea service on an aluminum tray with sugar and cream and a miniature pot...it was quite the thing, but I had little else to do during the day.

Alas, no tea party this year for my birthday as we're trying to keep things on the easier end, but there shall be tea! Oh yes, there shall be tea.

And sometimes that's all you need!

But no, there are tons of others that are grand. Peppermint is just special to me.

I've been keen on my "tummy mint" tea of late. Chamomile and mint and a couple other things I imagine. Bedtime tea.

I wish I could find that fruit tea I found in Germany. That was freaking fantastic. *sigh*

Do you know the brand? Or was it something particular to a little store? A couple of the tea stores I frequent import from Germany, and the Lipton you find in Europe is so much better than the Lipton here. Makes me annoyed we don't have it! First time I encountered certain flavours of Green Tea and Russian Earl Grey.

It's definitely not Lipton. All I remember is the bag was mostly clear, and it looked like actual dried fruit in the bag. I was really young and I didn't even think to write it down or anything. :(

Also....

COFFEE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

What say you about coffee?

Or have you had to much and are now on a caffeine spazz a'la Twitchy?

For the longest the only tea I drank was ice cold and sweet, and I preferred coffee to tea. But as I've gotten older, especially after my last pregnancy, I've found that I prefer tea to coffee. I really like Celestial Seasonings brand of teas. Their Sleepy Time blend was a god send the last time my 3 year old was sick. We'd add just a touch of honey and a little lemon, and it would help soothe his throat and calm him down. Here lately, I've been wanting fruity flavored teas, but we haven't had the funds to buy any, so I've been mixing a pack of kool-aid into the tea pitcher before I put it in the fridge. It's been a huge hit. We'll go through a gallon in an afternoon (3 adults and a 3 year old).

I've had tea with rose in it but never actual rose tea. That sounds like it would be good.

I used to live on Sleepytime tea. I always have a box around. Celestial Seasonings was the tea that I started with when I was a kid before I started to like black teas. I like their Morning Thunder tea as well (has a Bison on the box), a mix of black and Yerba Mate teas.

I got some orange cinnamon tea recently and it's delicious. I am obsessed with it at the moment, I am going to need more soon. I can't think of any teas I've tried that I dislike, but I'm not sure if I have tried a whole lot.

I'm not a fan of Rooibos or most artificially flavoured teas, but that's it as far as specific categories. My stash has white, green, black, smokey, and herb teas, and yes, some Rooibos anyway.

Dug out my Lapsang Suchong today to give that a try. It's different stuff, and people around me kept wondering where the smokey smell was coming from. I liked it but I think I can only handle one cup at a time.

I made it to the tea store I've been trying to get to for some months. Got my Assam Banaspaty, which I've apparently been spelling wrong throughout the entire thread here (the s comes before the p). It cost more than I like, but such happens. Apparently, it's a "malty" tea. Not sure what that means, really. My tea flavour lexicon is a bit lacking.

like barley tea?

I'm not sure. When I think of "malty" I think of malt ball candies, or scotch (though my experience with the latter is nil) so perhaps something like that? Might be something grainy about it. Good tea though, and that's pretty much all I care about.

hm, though i am pretty boring, i only like orange & peoke cut black tea

Isn't Orange Pekoe a black tea to begin with? About 70% of by beverage intake is tea, so I do like to vary things.

probably XD i dunno

I like tea and cola. I especially like green tea and mint tea. My favorite way to have it is with lemon and honey or sugar. Stash teas has a very nice Red White and Blueberry tea. <3

sounds weird dude XD

What do you mean by "Red White" tea, Angel? Is it a name?

i think red, white and blueberry is a tea blend

*glares at lack of Oxford comma*

Ah. Makes sense I guess. I'm not totally sure if "red tea" is the same as roiboos or something different. Threw me a bit since those are also separate teas.

i've seen something for sell a few years ago with the same name, it smelled gross, granted not as bad as tea mixed with cola but still XD

Co workers of mine used to mix green tea and hot chocolate all the time, and I can imagine carbonated tea, but not sure about the tea and cola thing. Could try it at some point though.


And my sister in law found Green Tea Pocky. Tastes like that powdered matcha. That is all.

Mmmmm tea.

Can I just say how happy I am to sign up for this site and right away see that there is an entire thread dedicated to tea :)

Teaaaa.

There was a chocolate thread a while back. Thought I'd try a similar thing. ;)

Hello! I take it you're new here?

Hello! I am new, I joined last night.

I'm liking it here so far :)

COFFEE!! COFFEE!! COFFEE!! *laughs maniacally!*

I leave all the coffee choices to my brother in law, as he is the self proclaimed expert on the topic, and I have no wish to argue.

Tea.

Love tea. Although I've been on a coffee kick lately, which is odd as it's been 90+ degrees for the past few months. :/
The body wants what the body wants, I suppose.

That is does, like more tea.

I actually have a hot chocolate right now. How dare I! And it's not even a very good hot chocolate, for all the packet tries to sell itself.

I've recently established a new addiction -- dirty chai.

A spiced chai latte... with a shot of espresso in it.

I prefer it hot, but it's still good iced. It helps if you have really good spiced chai to start with instead of having chai latte already mixed up.
