Are you a tea lover?

[debodun]

Tea is my "go to" beverage. I've tried almost any tea I can find, even exotic blends. I think my all-time favorite is Earl Grey - either Bigelow or Stash. I've tired other brands of EG and they are either bitter or don't seem to have much bergamont flavor. Other teas I like are Bigelow French Vanilla and rose flavored back tea. The rose tea I have to get when I go to the "big city" at the Asian market, but even then, I have not seen it on the shelves in a while.
Other teas I liked very much, but can no longer find are: Stash's "White Christmas", Bromley's "China Black" and Salada "Asian Plum" tea. I seldom get the run-of-the-mill orange pekoe or chai varities. One time I filled a large chair with boxes of tea:

I usually use supermarket black tea bags, sometimes I add a few whole cloves to the pot.

I also like Constant Comment hot or cold.

I go from coffee to tea at times but have been enjoying coffee more lately. It's time for me to get back to the teas. I absolutely love Earl Gray tea the most. I have Jasmine tea and Oolong and some Green tea at the moment.

Only iced tea with lemon.

Funny @debodun; Earl Grey - either Bigelow or Stash was my choice for the while when I did drink hot tea.

That was one of my mom's favorites. She had it at her sister-in-law's one time, but back then (early 1960s) you had to go to a specialty store to get it (at least in this area). Now it's available almost everywhere. It's okay, but I find it a little heavy on the cloves for my taste. I might get a box near Christmas because, to me, it has a Christmassy flavor.

I am a tea drinker, mostly because coffee aggravates my stomach. I prefer green tea, but I also like black tea. I don't particularly like any of the exotic blends.

I have always been a tea drinker and love stash tea. There is a tea shop downtown and I love to buy different teas and blend them myself. For a couple of years I even grew a few kinds of mint tea.

I really liked Salada's Asian Plum but we can't get it here anymore. I like Bigelow's Cozy Chamomile and Sleepytime too.

I've drunk tea all my adult life, mostly Lipton black, but I've tried other brands like Stash and Twinings. But, sometimes it would leave me a bit nauseous. Maybe it's the tannin. I tried Lipton and Stash green tea, but didn't like them. But, I remembered having green tea in a Chinese restaurant that was really good. So, I did a little research and ordered a couple samples of Chinese green tea from a dealer on the internet. They were loose leaf; Longjing and Yunwu. I brewed them as recommended and they were very nice, fragrant, and no nausea. So, I'm converted. Right now I'm drinking some Japanese Sencha tea and it's good too. I make a cup in the morning and save the leaves. I get another cup in the afternoon and one after dinner out of them and they're all good.

Never acquired a taste for hot tea. Ice tea with lemon yes. Once in awhile, I’ll have a hot green tea with a spoon of honey. Mostly when I don’t feel well.

 

[debodun]

Jasmine green tea is good if you can stomach it.

 

[twinkles]

neausate me .i drink ice tea year round---black tea and green tea mixed

 

[fmdog44]

Red tea few have tried it but it is sweet and delicious

I like iced tea but have never really cared much for hot teas. I will sip hot spiced tea with lemon when I have a cold; somehow it is soothing.
