Recommend some?

Oh, it's you again. Just to save ATOT some trouble, I've compiled information about teas, since no single tea is better than any other.

You're welcome, and enjoy.

Recommend some? Any idea how many different kinds/brand there are?

I like YOGI brand tea if I'm not just drinking plain old Orange Pekoe Tetley...

Earl Grey for a daytime tea.

I'll bump my tea thread. There is a ton of really good posts in it.

arizona green tea is pretty good

Tazo (not usually a favorite of mine) makes a green tea with lemon-grass and spearmint that is pretty nice. I drink 2-3 of those a day.

I used to drink that in 06-07 but it's not true tea; and it's very sugary and I think it had HFCS.

HFCS is made from corn, corn is a vegetable, therefore HFCS is a vegetable, and you are fullfiling your daily vegetable intake by drinking it. haha i forgot where i read that at...

Twinings, usually Darjeeling or Prince of Wales but English or Irish Breakfast are good when I want something stronger, and Lapsang Souchong for a little variety.

Not much a Tea person, but I really like a Stash Licorice Spice once in awhile.

Though it's considered "OK" to call corn a vegetable, it's really a fruit. Same goes for tomatoes.

Our refined sugar comes from beets anyway, so there's no reason to sweeten with HFCS if you have table sugar around.

Tea. Earl gray.

You know I like it hot.

Yeah, I assumed we were talking about real tea - dried leaves, steeped in hot water, and drunk from a cup with pinky extended.

They redid their teabag design. I liked the older one better.

Me loves some roasted dandelion tea. Tastes like graham crackers.

Visit your local Asian grocery store, look for tea leaves sealed in air-tight containers from West Lake, China, examine the leaves to make sure they have not been sitting on the shelf for a while.

If one goes the loose tea leaf route, it would be well worth going with a good Tea Pot IMO. My best friends' Persian Wife makes tea in this 2 part tea pot and it's the best tea I have ever had.
