OHO, lovely name thar~

AND, I would have loved to try it. ; ;

Told you , tea addict . <3

It's strange , I usually disgust anything with Dutch in the name . But this tea actually tastes like tea and cake together in a cup but without the pieces xD
Have you ever heard of the brand Pickwick ?

No I haven;t but I'd try any and every tea I could. c:
I'm an addict too, babes. xD

Understood . :D

Niiice . <3
I'm afraid it's just a Benelux thing or something . >>
I prefer Lipton , but they don't have Dutch Blend . ^_^;;

GOODNESS, I want tor eally try it now./ xD

/throws some
Sorry . x3
If you're ever in the neighbourhood , you should try it . ;D

I like the litte tea bags that you can get for leaf tea, especially since I usually make mine by the cup.


Yay! More tea addicts!

I love Irish Breakfast. Twinnings has a basic multi-pack that has Lady Grey, Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, and English Breakfast. On occasion I spot Prince of Wales but I'm most fond of Lady Grey and Irish Grey from that lot.

I wish Lipton would bring their European teas over here. We can only get plain liption black or green as far as I've seen, or yellow lable. None of the fancier stuff that I saw in hotels and hostels while in Europe. I may have to order a big mixed box or something online and see if I can get some shipped.

I like plain lemon black tea, especially when I'm feeling under the weather, but it's amazingly hard to find tea here that's just black tea with lemon and no anything else. Usually there's ginger or something else in it. NOT what I want! The box of lemon tea that I have now my sister brought back for me from Israel.

I like black tea the most. It's pretty much the only tea that I can stand... But I do drink them plain, I think they taste even worse with milk in them.

I am definately more of a coffee person. But even that I don't really like.

I buy tea bags from Wal-Mart.

The fanciest tea I still have is Tazo...and I'd rather not have tea leaves in my tea.

My cousin has a cup thing like that. I just have several tea pots with baskets in them that I use for leaf tea if I plan on having more than one cup. They are personal size teapots. I have something of a collection of them.

I like fancy tea but I buy most of my stuff from grovery stores too. Tazo is my favourite brand as far as those go. Tried Numi but I'm not all that fond of it.

Black tea is my favourite too but I find I have to put sugar and milk in, often because I forget about it and it gets bitter as hell >.< but it's strong enough to disguise it. The exception is black tea with lemon, which I have plain and try my darndest not to leave steeping for half an hour.


Kombucha I found recently and really like. Not too fond of the sencha that I've had, as far as greens go. I like genmaicha, which goes with the piles of sushi we eat here.

I hover over some of my green teas with a timer. Only way I can not screw them up.

The little bits of popped rice grains that sometimes appear in genmaicha make me giggle. Looks like eeny weeny popcorn. :)

I am definitely a tea person, and I must admit I am a sucker for Earl Grey and English breakfast
I also quite love the Sencha Uchiyama I got for my birthday, but that's one I drink really rare because I fear the day I run out of it T^T
I also love the fruit teas though, especially the "forest berries" ones... because up here in Scandinavia, that means a mix of blueberry, strawberry and other berries that I usually eat every summer x3

Yeah? Where abouts in Scandinavia are you? My grandmother was Danish, and my dad and myself both have a fondness for Lingon berry. I sent up a jar of sauce recently for him because where he lives he can't get it. ;). I took a trip to Sweden a couple years ago while I was travelling. Would like to go back since I didn't see much of the north or make is past Oslo into Norway. Most stayed around Stockholm.

*Is even more annoyed that the fancy Lipton teas that are in Europe haven't come here yet.* >.<

Ooo Lipton tea ^_^
And I am in fact Danish x3
The lingon is good too :3 So gonna buy a ton of tea when I get to Sweden later this year owo

Heh Nice.

I've only seen a small fairly bland selection of lipton teas here (I'm in Canada, west coast). I encountered it in the trips to Europe that I've taken in the past few years. I'd grab an extra teabag whenever I could. One of my favourites was the Russian Earl grey, which I've only found here in one specialty store in leaf form.

Only visited Copenhagen when I was there. Still have family in Denmark, siblings to my grandmother and their kids. I haven't met any of them though. Thought it would be a little wierd to show up; "Hi, I'm your relative from Canada you've never met." Methinks that would be kinda odd, especially since my grandmother and her parents came to Canada just prior to WWII.

Russian Earl Grey ! o.o
/dies

I haven't had that one for ages ! Must be in the very back of the cupboard ... I'm sure I have it , unless I drank it all ... thanks for making me remember o.O

I'm having a cup of Asian Temple now ^_^
Also Lipton . It's still my favorite brand :)
But .. you don't have it in the USA ? o.O

I'm in Canada, not sure about what the USA has ;). We have Lipton tea that comes in little rectangular boxes with pyramid shaped tea bags )I bought some cinnamon spiced chai just yesterday) but we don't have the one that I saw in Europe in the individual bags like Russian Earl Grey, and I think I remember Asian Temple too. If we do have them here, I haven't managed to find them yet.

I have this odd taste for Green Tea or Oolong Tea... very yummy stuff. but I mostly drink water or milk cause I'm to lazy to actually make my tea xD

I rarely make tea because I don't own a kettle, I would have to boil my water in a saucepan then it ends up making a mess on my stove top. as wel as honey can be very sticky to handle

I use the coffee maker to boil my water xD no one here drinks coffee but we have a maker thing... we are odd people ._.,

I don't have a coffee maker, I don't like coffee

I hate the stuff but the coffee thing really works when making tea 8D

I have to boil my water in a pot or a saucepan BI

I have a coffee maker though it has yet to make it out of the box. It's for the benefit of guests, but my brother's coffee make usually takes care of that.

I've been stuck boiling water on the stove before when my first kettle died. I like those teeny pots, they work great. Hold enough water for a cup and a half or so. :)

I need to get a kettle from my mom :P

Electric kettles are pretty cheap these days. It was first on my list for college supplies. :). Does double duty when you have instant noodles around. ;)

I'm not too fond of the Lipton teas. All of them leave an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth that ruins the flavor for me. I prefer The Republic of Tea for my bagged teas and go to Teavana for my loose leaf teas.

Haven't tried either of those I'm afraid, though I've heard of Teavana a fair amount (probably in this thread). I usually go to local shops for upper end stuff if I want something fancy. Lipton is my favourite of the grocery store teas, minus certain flavours in other brands, and not including Mighty Leaf because it's beyond my budget right now!

where do you get them?

I do recommend Teavana (teavana.com). The price for certain teas (and tea blends) is expensive for the 2 oz minimum, but it's a very good deal considering the quality you get.

And I love that they don't have that acrid, bitter taste that certain other teas have.

Never noticed that but I constantly over steep my teas anyway so it's not likely I'd notice. I should actually start looking around. I really like the more expensive teas but I'm too cheap to really want to get them all that often. I tried one called "Novus" that had earl grey with malva flowers that was nice. Different from the other ones I have too.

Kettles? I just get them from a wal-mart or other such store. I get the plug in electric ones on the counter. Easier than a metal guy for the stove. They range from $12 to $50 depending on the features you want. I'd avoid going too cheap though given they are electrical equipment. My old $12 guy died. I just get the standard with automatic shut off and preferably the kind with a detachable base so the cord isn't getting in the way.

We have a water boiler specifically for tea that has three settings, 175, 195, and 208 degrees F. It was rather expensive, but we're avid tea drinkers and considered it a good investment (and it certainly was) and good for other things too.

But if you use a kettle (or even boil water in a pot), it doesn't have to be fancy and just use the right temperature to steep it at. Just make sure to also have a thermometer so check the water before steeping in the tea.

I haven't had much tea but my favorites are Chai and Peppermint. I like Chamomile for the "butterfy" feeling I get in my stomach though.

As for coffee I drink it purely for the taste. Unless I have a second job- then it's what I run off of instead of sleep. Frappecinos are one of my favorites. But you really can't go wrong with regular coffee and a little of creamer...but a lot of sugar. I loves my sugar.

I'm a coffee person. I really dislike the taste of tea. All but peppermint tea really.
