This thread is all about Tea. For the tea lovers, what kind(s) of and brands of teas do you prefer?

Lately I've had a taste for Earl Gray. I also have Oolong, regular generic tea, Cinnamon tea, Green tea with Lemon, and Chamomile. I enjoy Chai tea, too. Tea has less caffeine than coffee and that's one reason I like it. I'm less jittery with tea and actually not jittery at all. The brand that most of my teas are is Bigelow. I have also gotten some organic teas at times.

So, what teas do you like? And what do you put in it if anything? I am using Unsweetened Flaxmilk. It has 1200 mg. of Omega 3 per cup.

I'm always looking for a strong black tea, if you have any ideas please let me know.

The only specialty tea that I drink is Bigelow's Constant Comment, it's good hot or cold.

brought up years drinkin tea in UK - never liked coffee much - then drank a lot of Chinese teas in HK for a few years. And now just suddenly switched to coffee - first white coffee and then one day watched a travel show with southern europeans drinkin black coffee - so I switched and have never looked back - my one allowance are 3 sweeteners to replace sugar. I think I could drink tea again quite easily but go for the coffee each time in preference and it's usually no more than 2 per day and often just one! BUT i do like beer too! and whiskey in the coffee sometimes. Tee Tee!!
 
I drink Lipton's or Tetley tea. Good hot or cold. I also absolutely love Jasmine tea. Loose leaf if I can get it with plenty of sugar. I still have my two cups of coffee in the morning to get my heart started.

I like iced tea, too. Never tried Jasmine tea but shall put it on my "to do" list :)
 
chrysanthemum tea was always a delight with my lunch time chinese dishes and they left the leaves and flowers in which could of course be eaten!
 
I only drink tea (hot) a couple of times a year, and normally have it with raw honey. I like the Twining's brand, varieties like Earl Grey, Darjeeling, English Breakfast, Lady Grey, Irish Breakfast, etc. I also like the Celestial Seasonings teas, like the Black Cherry, Cranberry Cove, Raspberry, etc. All my tea bags are years old because we bought boxes of them and neither of us drink tea that often.
 
Wife got into some Bengal spice

Not a tea guy, but I like it

I used to hardly drink it and would even forget I have it but have been making a point to have it. It's supposed to be good for you. You have a lot of kinds there I have to try.

does tea go off after years??

It doesn’t go off as in bad. Open packages get dried out and go stale.
For regular black tea I also like Twinnings, in English Breakfast & Earl Grey but I usually drink herbal tea by Celestrial Seasonings or Stash and I like almost any flavour with organic honey or maple syrup. Never bleached out white sugar.
 
I drink quite a bit of hot tea. Always drink it black. Our cheap go-to staples are Tetley's British Blend (caffeine) and PG Tips (decaf). I try not to use any caffeine after noon.

We keep at least a dozen other varieties on hand that we drink less frequently, including:
- Darjeeling (Bigelow)
- Lapsang Souchong (Taylors of Harrowgate)
- Irish Breakfast (Taylors of Harrowgate)
- Earl Grey (Twinnings)
- Green Tea (various)
- Constant Comment (Bigelow)

Our son sends us various teas he buys while in Asia, some of which are very good. We can only guess at what they are as we can't read the packaging. :biggrin-new:

I had read that pure Assam black teas were very good, so I ordered a box from Taylors of Harrowgate. I find it flavorless - like drinking colored hot water.:chargrined:
 
Never cared for tea - still don't. I'm kinda outdoorsy and a backpacker and recently discovered CHAGA which is a growth on <mostly> birch trees. Not bad! Big deal in Russia and the Orient; now gaining popularity in the USA & Canada. So popular that there are concerns about sustainability and there are now laws & regs about harvesting.
 
Me, and Grandma , would drink a cup of hot tea every morning , she didn't believe in going to the doctor, grandmother always said god's will be done, she lived to be 93 years old, she said growing up, she would walk two miles, to school with the Indians .

I love a lot of those, too, especially Earl Grey. Celestial Seasonings has some wonderful teas. Never tried Maple Syrup in tea.
