Thread: Tea anyone ??!!

Lately I have been in the Oolong and White tea world.......but I still love my dirty sock ! White athletic .

I found some Blackwood Estate Ceylon tea tucked behind a canister in the cabinet yesterday with about two mugs worth of tea remaining in the packet. I brewed some up before work this morning. Good way to start the day.

I'm from Alabama, so I grew up drinking iced sweet tea. I don't drink it much anymore since I'm trying to cut back on sugar though.

My wife is from China and she showed me a tea/medicine drink when I was sick that I like. Most teas are more bitter, but this is different.

You boil: cinnamon sticks, ginger root, dried dates, and the head off a few green onions (cut close to the root) together. We drink it with honey.

Some of my version's of London Fog, with breakfast.

Oolongs are excellent teas and don't need sugar to enjoy as they have usually very distinct flavors all their own.

Today I brewed up some Dragon Eyebrow green tea and filled up the travel mug. I might have a mug when I get home this evening-it's a cool, rainy day here. I can really feel autumn pushing out summer now.

I'm going to try to finish up some of the tea on hand so I can order something new.

I'm my boring usual self (probably why I don't post so much). Just a plain old cup of black tea with milk in a tin mug as usual. It just seems to sit right with me that way. That, a porch and a pipe all combine just so.

I got a mixture brewed up of white tea and black Earl Grey sweetened with just a touch of honey and that's a rasberry custard filled doughnut for company. Watching the Walking dead on Netflix .

I have definitely been more into Oolongs and white tea lately and even like them unsweetened. They're natural flavors really shine on their own merits generally.

Had some Jasmine tea earlier. Thought I would break things up a bit for a change.
