Tea lovers - what are your favorite teas?

[trmiv]

English Breakfast tea. I also like PG Tips, which is only available in the UK. But we get it from a British store online. My wife's father is British, so she has a lot of British habits which wear off on me.

Hot:Sadaf (red and green boxes are both great)
Cold: tejava

I prefer Earl Grey, Lady Grey, and English Breakfast. Lady grey is my current favorite...very nice citrusy (word?) tea.

Oh, and some of use drink coffee and tea.

I like rolled jasmine pearl tea, there is a certain type of black oolang I like but can't remember specifically what it is called. I also like chrysanthemum tea.

 

[Apathetic]

Twinnings makes excellent tea. I like their English Breakfast tea a lot.

green tea, peppermint tea

 

[otispunkmeyer]

clipper organic. or Tetley

Organically grown Darjeeling.

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...

I usually buy loose leaf tea from Adagio. My favorite tea from there is Blood Orange.

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

Too bad their Earl Grey and English Breakfast are pretty crappy
But their flavored black and green teas are awesome.

 

[dighn]

green tea, loose leaf, not crappy tea bags

 

[amoeba]

iced oolong made from whole leaf rolled in to pearl sized balls.

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

Earl Grey... hot.

Shaddup... I know I'm a geek.

 

[JoeKing]

oolong tea
