We had a tea thread fairly recently but things move swiftly in SE++ and I could not find it to resurrect it.
For the first time in my life I am in personal possession of a rather nice kettle (with variable temperature so I can heat my water to the necessary temperature for either black or green teas, so I can pretend to be a tea-snob), a teapot with a tea cozy, and a wide selection of teas.
I'm back to drinking 4-6 cups a day and it is glorious.
So, SE++, what teas do you like to drink and how do you take them? Do you have any good ones to recommend?
I am accepting of all hot water beverages masquerading as teas here. None of this 'it's only really tea if it uses tea leaves' snobbery. We can discuss herbal brews, black, green and white teas, oolong; whatever you would like.
Mori and I received a large selection of sampler teas from adagio.com recently. I am enjoying in particular the green pekoe, ginger and peach black, valentine black (mm it smells of chocolate), honeybush orange and jasmine #12
Chamomile is a firm favourite, particularly chamomile and mango. That is my latest herbal addiction.
Ginger anything works really well to settle the stomach/stave off nausea, if you did not already know. Just chop up some fresh ginger and stick it in hot water.
Mint tea is also awesome. Best made with fresh mint, but you can also use dried mint or mint teabags.
I take all my tea as it is, now. Brits, I have given up the practice of putting milk in it.
It is only a little kettle and a little teapot but it does very well for two people.

It was not overly strong
Also that 'gunpowder' green tea was pretty aces

But I do enjoy Earl Grey and green tea is friggin' wonderful. Barley tea is another favourite.

What kind of ponce are you
Alternatively ooh this explains why you are content to drink water out of a mug
Cup, mug, glass, whatever crazy lady.
i do not like fruity teas
But tea is hot. How do you hold a glass with hot tea in it.
steam
Peppermint tea falls into this category. As does the valentines tea, which smells chocolately and tastes delicious.
I make myself a cup every now and then
it's very good
I dont like warm/hot drinks.
Black tea, extra strong with a bit of sugar.
FOOT SWEATERS
i used to make those and nom nom
I've heard that stuff is pretty limited.
also some lovely tea that bongi sent me because he is grand
occasionally depending on my mood with milk and some honey. but mint tea, always by itself yesss i need to go buy some more
Also, h5, I couldn't put sugar in my tea, either
I do like black tea, it's nice and strong without tasting as bitter as coffee
milk + honey is best
milk + sugar is also good
also, #pipe gets full credit for introducing me to the exquisite beauty of tea + TimTams
I hear he doesn't even like Earl Grey
I think I'm going to go back to my Green and Spiced Chi.
Which have you tried? A lot of herbal teabags found in stores tend to be a little overpowering and never taste quite as nice as they smell
How can you not like Earl Grey?
A cup of brown
The sampler pack I got had some Ginger, which I enjoyed, and then some peppermint and lemon and something with apple that were all icky.
Earl grey with milk is the best.
I think I'll brew some now.
Bucketman: Yeah, apple/lemon teas I have tried with varied success, although I am surprised the peppermint was not good!
Sometimes I just like having hot water with lemon and a squeeze of honey
Mmmm
Fandy I just remembered something
are you the dude who goes to VCU?
And hey, she does have fantastic skin for an 87 year old
yes indeedy
