I was once called a "tea snob" A friend got my ex hooked on PG Tipps, and she still sends him his supply.

I like Earl Grey, or better yet Lady Grey - that's a 1:1 mix of Earl Grey & Eng Breakfast, a little lighter flavor than straight Earl.

We have a friend near here that imports loose leaf from England and blends her own to resell at a local tearoom. I still have a little Apple Viennese herbal that she gave me, makes a great dessert tea.

My best friend sent me some Tazo Chai for Xmas, with the infuser basket, I love it!

Red Bush - you can find it in any store that sells tea - it is called Red Tea, any brand should have it. I like it straight without any flavour added to it.

So the names you should be looking for are:
Red Tea
Red Bush Tea
Rooibos Tea

I have been looking all over for white tea - its so hard to find here! But I just discovered a tea room/ day spa that just opened near Jakes work, maybe I will go there one day and relax with a facial and a cuppa!

Yeah, tea! Good morning!

I drink Ginseng tea. It took me 18 months to get off caffeine for good and since then all I do is drink Ginseng tea (hot, seeped very dark) about 2x per day. My skin got amazing, and it keeps my energy level up. What my body doesn't use it discards. It doesn't stain my teeth and I love going to Vancouver, B.C. to shop in their huge Chinatown to look at the barrels and barrels of fresh Ginseng teas in all varieties that come from China. The white ginseng is my favorite but it costs $300 /lb!

Sometimes I almost live on coffee!
But when I have tea, it's usually peppermint or Chai.

Not that I remember, but sometimes coffee will give me heartburn, but I drink it anyway!

I have to have my two morning cups of coffee, but drink hot or iced tea the rest of the day. I love oolong, which is half-fermented, meaning halfway between green and black tea. I buy loose tea from a shop, "Formosa Fancy Oolong Ming Xiang", for home, and use Bigelow's Chinese Fortune tea bags at work.

I drink one cup of green tea every morning. I also like peach or raspberry Snapple iced tea. However, I would take coffee anyday over tea!

I drink tea all day, too...both iced and hot. I have about five different kinds in my desk right now. I love the Tazo Refresh tea.

Marge, try mixing a little chamomile tea with the green tea for your allergies. The combination is very soothing and seems to help that nasty sinus headache.

I love tea. I use Community tea bags. I boil it on the stove and let it simmer then I add my sugar. I drink it hot, warm, room-temp. & cold. I do make mine sooooooo strong that you can't see through the glass though!

I'm a Tea lover, only Tetley or Red Rose English tea. I think I might me addicted

The first time I have a cup of tea was when I was around 10 years old, my brother got me started, I remember him saying "It taste better with sugar", so he put one teaspoon in it. Later I made Tea without sugar and it tasted SO much better!


I drink about 6 cups of Tea a day



Oh and I can not drink coffee, the taste makes me

I do like the smell of Coffee though.

I'm a tea-a-holic too!! I drink Red Rose (regular, caffeinated) every day. I also like green tea. It helps with stomach problems (heart burn and gas!!). I like chamomile tea for it's calming/relaxing effect. I also like peach tea because it tastes yummy.

This might sound gross, but I'm gonna share anyway. One time I was drinking green tea and my dad thought he'd gross me out by putting peach schapps into my cup. Well, I discovered that green tea and peach schnapps actually tastes rather good mix together!!!
