IA. If you need me, just meow..
I only drink tea. I used to drink Pepsi and other pops but now i only drink Iced teas or hot teas. Now my stomach doesn't hurt as much as it used to and my caffiene intake is MUCH lower.( not to mention I've lost a ton of weight from not drinking pop) My favorite hot teas are mint or Chai. Brad likes the Tazo teas.

For the most part down here, we like traditional tea. Not "flavors" like rasberry or the herbal stuff.

Most of us drink it cold, dark, strong and very sweet. (the farther south you go anyway)

We make an excuse to serve seafood whenever we can!


I haven't seen tea garnished with shrimp yet but I'm sure that if I did it once I'd start a new trend!

I love the Red Rose English tea!! But I've never been able to find it in the states. I always have to wait until I have a trip to Canada, then I stock up. I always get really STRANGE looks at the grocery store and from the customs agents when I come back loaded with tea!

I swear I saw that brand in the grocery store this morning!! I did buy some Red Tea. The brand is Good Earth. I bought lemon and had a cup this morning at my desk. Not too bad. I think it would make good iced tea.

Im a tea fan too!

My favorites are English Breakfast (any brand)
Celestial Seasonings- Perfectly Pear White Tea or Raspberry Zinger (GREAT for iced tea)
or Tetley - Green tea with honey, lemon, and ginsing (plain green tea does just taste like leaf)

I also like:
Chai (currently I have Masala Chai from a place here in Orlando called Teavana)
White Tea (though it's generally more expensive)
and fruit flavored teas! We have a mango tea at my place right now that is pretty good and a while back my roommate bought me some strawberry tea that was JUST delicious!!!

Tea bags or loose leaf are fine for me! Though I honestly think it tastes better when it's loose leaf. Just a difference in freshness perhaps? The chai I have right now is a loose leaf.


I'm a tea fiend.
I dug up this thread because I wanted to see if anyone else has been to a Teavana. I am so hooked on their To Life tea. It is fast becoming my nightly ritual. It's so soothing.
