    Talking Tea anyone ??!!

    Okay...I like coffee(french press is best) ,but I really like my tea even more.First off I like the way the caffiene in tea reacts on me much better. Seems to be a whole lot gentler yet very effective restorative .I love Chai,I love it Brit style with cream n sugar(I use Agave necter now *), I love it Asian style in small cups gentle and plain and I really like Russian style teas i.e Kusmi Tea ,black Chinese and Indian teas with fruit and Bergamot essences,sometimes sweetened with Jam or just Agave again. I'm even thinking of maybe getting a modern Samovar..Maybe,it is just one more form of good O'l AD. So what do you tea folk out there like?? **On the note of Agave Nectar ,I gave up white sugar(as best as I can)and try to avoid Corn syrup as well.I find Agave to be sweeter than sugar with no noticeable taste like honey would have and it's low glycemic. Just tryin to keep my indulgence with low sacrifice impact .

    I also am a big Tea drinker.. though currently it is the offerings of Twining for my Keurig as I do not have a basket for steeping at work which is where I drink it the most. At home I enjoy loose leaf green and white teas as I live in an area that luckily has 2 small specialty tea shops. I have some Pu-erh and a Yixing style pot waiting for my daughter for Christmas as she loves tea as well and is interested in trying more traditional teas/brewing methods so can't wait to do that next weekend and try something new as well.

    I do not add any sweeteners to my teas as I find tea to be sweet enough on it's own. I don't drink a lot of Black teas though so that may also be why I don't need to add sweeteners.

    The pu-erh tea and some of the greens/whites I drink I found on Pu-erh Tea - Premium Chinese Teas - JAS eTea just because they have a larger selection of pu-erh than my local shops.

    I will have to check out the Kusmi tea and maybe pick some up for the new year.

    Tea drinker as well, coffee just tears me up with massive heartburn...

    I'm partial to Oolong and green tea, not so much on the black teas.

    Tea drinker only. I gave up coffee 6 years ago. I was drinking 20 - 25 cups a day at work, then go home, make a pot of espresso and drink that too.

    I got the flu and was down for 10 days and went through the caffeine withdrawal during that time. When I recovered, I gave up coffee and never wend back.

    I am enjoying a nice cup of English Breakfast tea while typing this. Wonderful.
