What is your favorite tea?

My favorite is Long Jing, also known as Dragonwell, green tea. Love the aroma and taste. I buy it direct from dealer in China.

We drink tea all the time but we just buy Walmart brand decaf. I have had a couple of friend s ask me what kind it was so they could buy it.

My Son goes to China at least once a month on business, so I will ask him to buy some while he is there.
 

IMO, tea is best when served to somebody else.

At times I will indulge in tea, Earl Gray, hot. It’s the only tea I can say that I like at least somewhat.

So far it's Earl Gray but there are chocolate/hazelnut teas on Amazon I want to try. :)

Chocolate-hazelnut !😲 Really! I love hazelnut stuff and of course, chocolate. Please let me know how you like it. But we need more teas in this house like we need holes in our heads.

I guess I haven't drank much of the Jasmine green tea because as I mentioned to Nathan, I like my Bromley's better. Also, the Jasmine tea is not decaffeinated. Having suffered with atrial fibrillation for decades before it was corrected in 2016, I got used to the fact that I could only drink decaffeinated beverages. No colas, no Mountain Dew, no regular coffee and tea. A-fib has returned this year (very mildly) so I'm watching my caffein intake again.

I have it in my cart for next times Amazon order.
 
I don’t have a favourite tea. I go through stages of drinking Twinings to drinking a variety of herbal teas. There are too many nice teas to choose from to pick just one.

Actually looking at this I do have a favourite; fresh peppermint straight from the garden. At our old house I have 5 different types of mint tea which I loved to help relief stomach aches. Peppermint tea works great to relieve upset stomachs.

A really good tasting sencha with grassy highlights. Almost impossible to find. Most times I get it from friends returning from Japan or Taiwan.

Meanwhile, my everyday is Tetley British Blend (caffeine) and PG Tips (decaf).
 
I LOVE my tea. PG Tips in the morning, Red Diamond iced tea at lunch. Earl Grey in the afternoon in cold weather. We visited Celestial Seasoning’s plant a few years ago. Very interesting, and the mint room was a real sinus clearer! Then we visited a tea plantation in Charleston. Also interesting. All tea (not counting the herbal varieties) are the same plant, but are processed differently.
 
Nothing special, at the moment it’s Red Rose black tea but almost any mass market black tea is fine with me.

Remember the Wade Whimsies, little ceramic figurines, that used to be included in every box of Red Rose tea, there must have been hundreds and they are still collected.

A few times a year I have Bigelow’s Constant Comment.

Adding two or three whole cloves to a pot of tea adds a nice flavor.
 
I switched to Bigelow Herbal Tea assortment after reading this about the tea I was drinking: Celestial Seasonings faces several lawsuits, most notably a ongoing consumer class action over the "100% Natural" labeling of some teas, which allege the products contain trace amounts of pesticides.

Uh oh... Jazzy just convinced me to throw out my remaining boxes of Celestial Seasons tea... didn't know about that pesticides... thanks for sharing that...
I'll have to try that Bigelow herbal tea..It must be decaffeinated, right?

Do you have any plants @VeggieMan ?

Instead of throwing the unwanted tea, you could make tea out of them and let them soak overnight, use the tea to water your plants. Tea apparently contains nutrients which are good for plants which like acidic soil - lots of garden and house plants like acid soil.
