What is your favorite tea?

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.

Yes, I have a few, not as colorful as those depicted. Mine are either uniformly blue or tan colored.
 

I used to drink a lot of sasafras tea which is made from the roots of the sassafras tree. It has a taste similar to root beer. I have heard that it can't be sold because one of the key ingredients, safrole, is supposed to be carcogenic. My son dug up a root. I think I will make some to have with my pipe when I resume smoking which I gave up January 8, 1998 on my way to get a heart bypass.
 

A local privately owned supermarket has a very large selection of Herbal Teas, most are in languages I can not read.
Chamomile, Rosehip, Ginger, Fennel and a few I have no idear what they are but taste good. :giggle:
