Green tea!

Black tea!

800px-Darjeeling-tea-first-flush-in-cup.jpg

Darjeeling tea (a type of black tea)!

teaoolong480.jpg

Oolong tea!

All of those teas come from the same plant, but what about other types? Earl Gray and Ceylon? It's all welcome in the tea thread!

I'm drinking a cup of Organic Green Tea right now... So delicious!

Goddamn, I love tea so fucking much!

    I had black tea on the way to work today. We have this neat coffee/tea maker that makes a single cup at a time and they are delicious.

    I don't know anything about tea, I just take these little baggies out of a box the cupboard and put them in hot water for a bit and add a dash of sugar and then drink it and life is alright for a little while.

    EDIT: I also have those cans of Arizona Tea every once in a while but I really don't they they count at all.

    I'm all for Earl Gray. Really, I am. It's delicious and full bodied.

    But the tea of teas is darjeeling. This is not up for debate!

    There is a reason England conquered India... It was for the tea!

    Sweet tea is pretty fucking awesome.

    BBQ places have some of the best sweet tea.

    Everybody go to adagio.com and buy an Ingenuitea teapot and start brewing your own looseleaf teas:

    ingenuitea_mug.jpg

    Seriously it's awesome and I've been using mine almost every day for like a year. You can buy the starter set for $19 and it comes with like 4 samples of loose teas and that is a ridiculously cheap awesome deal.

    This thing made me love tea.

    What the hell is wrong with you?

    Hot tea is goddamn fantastic! I'm not ragging on iced tea, it's also awesome, but it's not really comparable. It's like hot and iced coffee: You love each for different reasons.

    My favorite winter-time drink is some steaming hot ceylon tea with honey and cinnamon... Oh dear God, when is it gonna snow??

    It is the tea people say they like when they want to appear knowledgeable and worldly, when they've only ever heard of it on Star Trek.

    Also, its horrible.

    Loose leaf tea really is the best, but it's not really feasible at work, because if I kept loose leaf tea here, people would drink it while I was gone and I wouldn't be able to find out who.

    So, I drink bagged tea at work and loose leaf at home. I usually have 3 cups per day (with each meal) so breakfast and dinner is loose leaf, lunch is bagged.

    It's okay, though. Whole Foods sells a box of 80 organic green tea bags for $4. And it's amazingly good for bagged tea.
