Yeah, that's been happening a lot lately.

EDIT: Ack! I just realized I left my teas at home! Dammit!

Oh well. At least I have the perma supply that lives in my carry-on duffel. Farm sitting for my sister. She's as bag about strong tea as I am, but does not gave doctors giving her the evil into cutting down.

A few weeks ago I found some catnip tea online. It took a while for me to actually GET it thanks to some shipping problems, but I love it. I don't know if it's because it's really good or I just like the smell and flavor of catnip already though ...

Quiet Man Cometh 03-07-2012 11:40 PM

Probably both. I find that teas with herbs or spices I like generally translate well, but fruits do not for the most part. Exceptions are apple, mango, lemon, and orange. Mostly. ;)

I'm trying this thing called "Canadian Breakfast" tea. I don't really know what's about it that makes it Canadian, though the package does say blended an packed in Canada (nothing about growing or harvesting here though. Not really a surprise). Also not sure what distinguishes it from Red Rose which likes to pride itself on being Canadian in the first place.

Red Rose has a tea car. The pot lit on the top is cute but the spout on the hood is kinda disturbing, really. Unforuntately, an image of said tea car is proving elusive.

-drinking lemongrass tea right now- ...Uhm. Not too great a flavor x__X;

Any of you ever had ginseng tea?

Quiet Man Cometh 03-07-2012 11:54 PM

Not straight, just mixed with stuff, usually lemon. In fact, I had a heck of a time finding lemon tea without ginseng in it. I`m not supposed to have ginseng because it increases your heart rate.

Espy 03-07-2012 11:56 PM

Ah whoops. -loves ginseng tea- Actually I love ginseng in general. -steals dry slices from the cache and noms just that-

...I'm weird.

Think I ran out of chamomile tea...I'll probably have boxes of that stocked up in college for sleep purposes.

Quiet Man Cometh 03-08-2012 12:05 AM

I like ginger. I'm probably not supposed to have much of that either but I do anyway. :). Though usually it's pickled ginger with sushi. If I'm feeling particularly maschostic I have pickled ginger and wasabi. I'm still not sure why.

Espy 03-08-2012 12:08 AM

-never really liked ginger-

There're some things where, if the ginger flavor is really, really subtle, okay, fine, I'll drink/eat it, but usually...it's not a favorite of mine. Well, actually, certain ginger-ful dishes are okay with me, if they're Chinese cuisine or something.

I like ginger candies now and then, the chewey kind, so long as they don't burn too much. Thanks to my now rebellious stomach I at least mildly nautious relatively often and ginger helps that.

My family will stock me with enough tea to last a year when I go away to school. I do want to get more chamomile tea.

Quiet Man Cometh 03-08-2012 12:20 AM

I have some around but I keep forgetting about it. I usually prefer Sleepy Time tea instead when I'm in the mood for something like that. Although, I did have some chamomile white chocolate that makes me wonder how it would be in some white hot chocolate. Friends at the coffee shop I used to work at would often steep green tea into a cup of hot chocolate.

Espy 03-08-2012 12:22 AM

Sleepy Time as in, the Celestial Seasonings kind of Sleepy Time?

Serena Yuy 03-08-2012 12:24 AM

hmm I should get that too. ^^
I look forward to seeing what the teas I'll get this year :D

Quiet Man Cometh 03-08-2012 12:33 AM

yup, Celestial Seasonings, but other brands use similar names. Bigelow makes one that is almost the same name but can't recall.

Espy 03-08-2012 12:42 AM

I haven't had Bigelow in a while, actually, although for some reason its name sounds more familiar than Celestial Seasonings, the type I usually drink.

Bigelow's Orange Spice = luff. Actually, Orange-anything = luff most of the time.

I used to be hooked on tea- when I was trying to wean myself off of coffee >.<
It seems these days that I only drink tea when I'm sick. I used to drink echinacea tea, but due to the volume of tea that I drink when I'm sick, I had to switch to chamomile. Too much echinacea upsets my lower GI tract.

I also have cut out caffeine from the tea I drink. My husband-creature bought some really great green tea with berry flavours, but I can't drink it because of the caffeine *le sigh*

@Serra: do you remember the site where you bought your catnip tea? I LOVE the smell of catnip, so I would be willing to try it. And if it's safe for kittehs, I'm sure ALL my cats would want to taste-test it with me LOL

I love the Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea *mmmmm*

I no longer put lemon in my tea, nor do I put milk/cream, but I am a fiend when it comes to honey >.<

Anyone else here go overboard with the honey?
