Thread: Tea?

I love great tea, made English style, loose in an infuser.

Favorites have been Chisunga Estate from Malawi and Kapchorua Estate from Kenya.

A great tea, made well, can rival a fine coffee (which I also love).

Anyone else savor a great cup of tea?

Lately, I've been brewing iced tea from a basic chinese green tea and a mint-gunpowder blend, both purchased loose from a local spice shop. The rest of the year, a good cup of tea twice a day is an essential part of the day.

Switching to loose leaf tea has coincided with my picking up DE, and now straight, shaving. I think that as the world gets faster around me, I need to take some time to do a few things well and savor them...

i love tea, i dont know much about it but boil water, steep tea and drink.

I love a good cup on tea.

I really like light white tea's during the summer, and Black tea in the winter.
I agree, a good tea will stand right up there with a nice cup of coffee.

I gave up coffee about 5 years ago because I was drinking so much of it. I now only drink tea and I aboslutely love English tea as well

i too love a good cuppa... pg tips with milk and 2 sugars... perfect accompaniment... an aero bar.

I have a taste for Oolong tea. But recently I have been convincing my wife to drink tea. I found that she likes Japanese green iced tea. This is quite nice. I have been filling a bottle with this and taking it to the gym. I don't know if it will have any beneficial qualities, but it tastes good.

The tea I drink most often is Lapsang Souchong.

There are several others that I enjoy, depending on my mood. In the morning I like irish tea brewed as strong as I can brew it. Sometimes in the afternoon a cup of Earl Grey hits the spot. I have also found some darjeelings that I really like.
Teavana sells a tea called Matevana, which is a really nice dessert tea.

I drink a lot of tea as well but don't know a lot about it other than boil the water and steep the bag.

The Iraqis started me drinking tea. They drink these little shot glasses of hot tea every time they get a chance. I think it must be something they picked up during British occupation. Kuwaitis too, they drink a lot of tea. Both countries call what they drink "chai". I have seen tea labeled as "chai" but it doesn't taste the same. What tastes the closest to the "chai" of the middle east is just a bag of black tea.

i usually buy the twinings teas, and i cant decided which i like best so i buy the variety pack.

But its not the tea i like best, the tea that i always drink is mountain tea from greece that i colleceted myself last time i was there. My mom lived in a remote mountain village and whenever i go there i always collect natural growing tea and oregano and other herbs. Its the best i have ever had.
