What are your favorite types of teas?

Aloneness · « **Reply #1 on:** July 14, 2014, 04:38:40 pm »

Surprised Loc didn't start this thread lol, but I like a simple black tea, not to much of a fan of green tea or berry teas....

Green tea, mango tea, pepermint tea, many others

We have a loose-leaf tea mixture we got from teavana... It's amazing. The guy said "this is the tea Jedi drink."

Anyways, it's samurai chai and... I need to go find it to remember the other...

Edit: name of it is Maharaja Chai Oolong/Samurai Chai Maté blend.

Lipton Citrus Green Tea. I buy it by the 12 pack.

It really depends on what I'm having the tea with or having it by itself. I'd have to say my favorite is Earl Gray because it compliments just about anything you eat with it very well.

Starting a thread about tea would take up valuable time I could be spending drinking tea. :|

I had caffine poisoning a few years ago and now get some rather nasty reactions if I have a bit too much tea with any caffine in, so I'm a fan of the herbal teas in the evenings or when my stomach is acting up. A friend of mine on the IRC (Fern) makes a lovely cup of earl grey with honey and lemon, which is the go-to drink when I'm visiting him. English breakfast is the usual cup to start the day, unless I'm at Weisseman's in which case Oolong. And Weisseman himself, when he puts his mind to it, can do a good brew. Shame he doesn't more often.

I can't stand peppermint tea, and chamomile or cinnamon blends can be a bit hit or miss - very easy to get them wrong so they taste foul.

Trying out a nettle blend this week.

Coffee poisoning?

that sounds terrible... I practically live on caffeine...

At the risk of being banned from the thread I say no tea. Rather a squirt of Southern Sweet Tea drink enhancer in water. For stronger drinks I will add water and then a squirt of said enhancer.

Hehe, true that... but on another note ... while it's unfortunate you got caffeine poisoning ... I hope it wasn't just from purely drinking tea... just because ... that would most likely require ... a rather ... large ... amount of tea ... o.o *looks for empty gallon jugs*

It was from coffee, as it happens XD

Yorkshire Tea http://www.yorkshiretea.co.uk/ which I guess is an English Breakfast blend? I don't really know, I enjoy drinking it more than researching it :p I also kinda like green tea when it's really hot and jasmine tea - really need to get me some more of that.

Golden Monkey. Golden Monkey. Golden Monkey. It's pricey, but so worth it.

Also, I have been known to indulge in Earl Grey. And I'm a fan of peppermint in the winter.

I...love...tea!!!!!

My favorites...

-Rose
-Ginger (fresh, loose)
-Chai
-Apple cinnamon spice blend
-Jasmine (pearls are the best)
-Honey lemon (especially when my throat is sore)

I dislike peppermint, chamomile has an odd flavor, and I am not one for English Breakfast (it can be a tad too strong)

I do drink a lot of tea. Anything with mint in it is good. (I do quite love mint)

WhiteAkitaKeiko · « **Reply #18 on:** August 07, 2014, 07:15:24 pm »

I love tea as well (But not as much as coffee )!

The ones I can't live without:

Chamomile & Honey and Vanilla
Ginger with Maple syrup
Chai
Green tea
Sage (The only tea , I don't need sugar in it! Others I need to add tons of sugar to make it tasty )
Jasmine

I can't stand peppermint tea , though I liked home-made version of it.

Sadiki · « **Reply #19 on:** August 10, 2014, 12:22:39 am »

vanilla chai, moroccan mint, and orange rooibos are some favs
but I will try any tea and most likely enjoy it
