What is your favorite tea?

I try to drink at least one cup of Bromley's decaf green tea daily. I swear by it for helping me stave off arthritis symptoms, so I guess it's my favorite. But I also love Bigelow's vanilla chai tea, which I don't have often because it's caffeinated.

@Nathan one of my dearest online friends (we call each other Sis), sent me a box of Taylor's assorted teas. My favorite was the green tea with Jasmine, so I bought a box of it from Amazon. I haven't drank much of it though.
 

Not a big tea drinker here, unless it's iced black tea.

But I'm fond of Stash or Bigelow Earl Grey. To satisfy my craving for coriander seeds, I'd bought a small box of coriander tea at the Indian store awhile back, but now that I want some, I believe it's all gone.

Sooo, I made a cup of Tetly (I have for guests) and added a few bashed cardamom pods. Not bad.
Those pods are great in Turkish coffee.
 
I always choose Twinings English Breakfast or Nerada Australian grown Black Tea. I saw an interesting program the other day about Tea being grown in Cornwall U.K. at a place called Tregothnan House, South Cornwall. It's the home of UK's first (and only) tea plantation. The temperate Cornish climate allows the cultivation of several teas, including Assam, Darjeeling and Earl Grey.

My all time favorite is Tazo bottled Green Tea; which comes too sweet for me, so I would always add two bottles of distilled water and get three bottles for the price of one. Unfortunately, I can't get it here in Thailand, so I have to settle for Twining's decaffeinated green tea in bags.

@OneEyedDiva , my first impression of green tea wasn't good, but I like the green tea based Jasmine tea.

I use agave in my tea and I like it on the sweet side. I served it to my oldest grandson a couple of weeks ago and he loved it. Although I liked the Jasmine enough to buy more, I think I like the plain better. Now I'll have to have the Jasmine and reevaluate. šŸ˜€ I haven't had it in several months.
 
I drink herbal tea. After dinner, I usually have Traditional Medicinals Organic Roasted Dandelion Root Tea; it's good for digestion. Other teas I enjoy are Equal Exchange Organic Ginger Tea, Organic India Tulsi Original Tea, and TM's Organic Nettle Leaf Tea. If I need a little help sleeping about a half hour before bedtime, I'll have a cup of Organic Pukka Relax Tea. It's definitely relaxing. šŸ˜“ Most of the time, I drink them unsweetened, but occasionally I add a teaspoon of honey.

@Happyflowerlady - I love your Franciscan Desert Rose china!

@Naturally - And I love your Romantic Rose pattern! Doesn't tea taste better when you drink it from a beautiful cup?

Why haven't you drank it much?

YOu seem to be an expert on all the teas that are beneficial for different purposes. Is there any tea that will make me younger? How about one that will make me smarter? How about one that will make me handsome?

How much caffeine is in your cup?

Thank you. Would have never guessed that cola had so much. I used to work the first shift midnite to 8 a.m. We had two caffeine tablets we could take if we got drowsy. One woke us up quite suddenly, but ended quickly. The other gradually stimulated us but, lasted much longer. The caffeine content in each was about the same. We could never figure out why the two reacted so differently. We stayed away from caffeinated drinks because caffeine is a diuretic, and makes you pee a lot when liquid is taken in at the same time. No time for that chore all night.
 
I drink tea occasionally. I like Cha4TEA Oolong Tea as well as Chai Black Tea Pods for Keurig K-Cup Brewers.
When I was younger I drank Twinings Earl Grey as well as a variety of teas offered by The REPUBLIC of TEA.

I drink tea all day long.

Lipton is the world's worst, imo.

I mostly drink a blend of black tea (I like Tetley and Red Rose brands), Earl Grey, and ginger tea....like 5 parts black, 2 or 3 parts grey, and 1 or 2 parts ginger. Sometimes I throw in a bit of turmeric or thyme.

And at least twice a day, I drink 3 or 4 tiny cups of yerba tea, which involves performing a peaceful, traditional tea ritual.

Yerba is imported from South America. I usually buy it from an international market here in Sacramento called Corti Brothers, where they also sell the gourd cups and the alternative wooden cups and the metal straws, but sometimes I order everything online.

I tried Yerba with the gourd and metal straw. It intrigued me but I did not care for it. This was quite a few years ago and I bought it online.

It tastes the same.

I add a tiny spoon of sugar just before each pour.

I have this tiny spoon made of gold that a Middle-Eastern friend gave me. It's shaped like a camel and all its features and its saddle and all that are etched on it.
