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?

Thanked: 0Taking the time to prepare something better
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...

Thanked: 84I 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.

Thanked: 235I 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.

Thanked: 1371The 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.
