Tea lovers - what are your favorite teas?

[elektrolokomotive]

I buy loose tea from World Merchants in Seattle. I got turned on to thier NW Teatime blend. It's a black tea blend. Really smoky aroma. Best tea I've ever had.

Never - ever - steep tea for longer then THREE minutes . . . . you don't get more caffeine - rather Tannic Acid which often causes stomach upset . . . . IF you want more of a caffeine "buzz" just use MORE tea(bags) per cup.

Is the difference between organically grown and otherwise substantial enough that you can tell them apart?

I'm talking in ways other than price of course...

I drink green tea and there's always been an organically grown green next to the one I buy that costs 50% more...

Yes . . . . . but then i am fanatical and use distilled water to make my tea.

MOST tea bags are BLEACHED pure white which also spoils the flavour

Tea bags? I use leaves and a strainer

But tap water...I figure nothing's gonna survive the boiling anyway so there's no point in using anything better

it's all about TASTE. if your tap water is excellent , use it.

Even some metals adds "taste" (a few tea bags even come without the metal clasp attaching the string for that reason) . . . .

tea bags are convenient (and popular - that's why i use them ti illustrate. . . . 'loose' is better (of course)

Stash, Earl Grey - Double Bergamot with some Sugar in the Raw to sweeten it just a little bit.

Oh, and real men drink tea. Pansy boys who question their sexuality and try to "prove" they're "real men" drink coffee. For tea drinkers, coffee is a last resort somewhere behind tap water and piss.

Great minds think alike. Stash English Breakfast, thats the ticket right there.

My tap water is far from excellent...I'm sure it's safe, it's just got an odd, Texas flavor that I don't like so I usually drink bottled...

However, once boiled, all water tastes the same to me...

I use a blend of black, green, and Earl Gray in my iced tea.

People love it, lots of flavor & body.

I'll drink anything that's not in a tea bag.
