Thread: Tea

Osmanthus Green.

I drink Yerba Mate frequently, as well as black tea, white tea, herbal teas and am really looking forward to more pu-erh. I also drink a delicious and potent Ginseng decoction from time to time. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy a nice french press or espresso too, but tea edges out coffee with me.

Gents,

I must say that there really is nothing as refreshing as a cup of tea after a long day. As of late, English Breakfast and Earl Grey from Twinnings are in my tea cycle. I've found that i don't care much for the Eastern teas, although delectable in their own way, they're not really what I'm looking for in a tea. For the holidays my family went out searching for Tea's that I had not experienced yet, and when i came home from Boston I was surprised with a Box of Jasmine Pearl from Trader Joe's. Smells heavenly and i cannot wait to have some! I've always found that with my busy schedule with classes and work, there's nothing better than sipping on a cup of tea and enjoying a book. In fact, novels i feel are counter intuitive to this. A nice cup of tea lasts just as long as one of H.P. Lovecraft's short stories, so i entertain myself with a tale of horror and madness while sipping a nice spot of tea.

Earl Grey
English Breakfast

in that order

I know this isn't the tea that you gentlemen are speaking of, but I brew a gallon of Luzianne iced tea daily and always fortify it with sugar to make that wonderful concoction called iced sweet tea.

If I'm sick and have a sore throat, I like to make a cup of hot Earl Grey and put honey in it.

I've been a coffee addict for years, but lately i've tried to learn to live with tea at home and drink the coffee at work only.
I like Earl Grey Twinings with honey and Rooibos.

Not as much as coffee, though.

That's it. Now I have to make a cup of EG.

Pu-erh tea. Once you start, you can't stop. It's a sickness.

Tea.... it all depends on when and where.

Stuck in a snow drift up near the front range "Lapsang souchong"

After a duck or pork dinner in a decent Chinese resteraunt
or Dim Sum - "PU-ERH" -which sadly has suffered
speculation and much hype making the price hard to tolerate.

Afternoon in a meditative mood a good green tea.

Back porch with a friend: Lipton, with sugar, ice and lemon.
