Thread: Tea

Hey everyone,

So after working at Starbucks for a few years I have a high respect for both coffee and tea. Tea has emerged as my favorite. Green Tea is probably my favorite of them all, but I enjoy a nice Yerba Buena or Yerba Mate. Lets here the favorite Teas from the SRP members out there.

Peyote tea. A soothing drink before a soothing straight shave.

Right now I'm sipping on a cup of Earl Grey tea from Twinings with a dollup of honey. I know the honey is a little unorthodox but I don't have any milk.

English breakfast after meals. Rest of the time different types of green tea,s.

I'm a coffee fan, or addict rather. Freshly ground columbian or Nicaraguan blends are my favourite but at the end of the day Nescafe or International Roast or any other powdered crap will suffice.

For tea I like 粉末茶 funmatsucha which is dissolvable green Japanese 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.

Jasmine
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.
