Dave Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Lots of people drink various types of coffee and I do like coffee but I am a massive fan of Tea. We have chinese green and black loose tea, normal tea, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Assam, Chai etc etc... at home. So what tea... (If you drink tea) would you recommend? I love trying new tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ooo, I may have to have a look for Chi Hua then tips and tricks: usually Chi Hua tastes better in the 2nd or 3rd brew. First brew of Chi Hua is often too strong in taste and effects (all Chinese teas are capable of making you stay up all night.. NOT good!) so toss the first cup away LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollys_mum Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Anything except Tesco value tea. I'm a big fan of tea as well, but only in the sense that I drink about 20 cups a day. (I'm waiting for the kettle to boil right now.) My 12 year old is a big fan of something called 'Tick Tock', and an American friend of mine drinks it as well if she comes over for the day. It's not my cup of tea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Not fussed except I don't like dishwater (weak) tea and it has to be with milk no sugar. Not brand loyal and in fact quite like Sainsbury's Red Label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 just normal tea for me. 1 sugar and milk please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povodny Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm not fancy I just drink yorkshire tea, if I'm away English breakfast is the closest thing. My son drinks only green and white tea. His favourite is jasmine. He likes gunpowder and peppermint as well. Whittards are the best for those sorts of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherrie-Nanook-Indy Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I love earl grey or peppermint and liquorice (the only one Iv found is from a company called 15 minute) or I once had a pinocolada tea that was nice Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronoiiel Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 This is where I get all my teas from http://www.teavana.com/ They are AMAZING I have a special taste for green teas (my favorite from them being Jasmin Dragon Phoenix Pearls) but I do love Rooibos when I'm getting sick or it's winter. I love white teas in the summer but I can't stand black teas for some reason O_o keeps me up for DAYS lol. I love teas that unfurl into blossoms when brewing sooooo pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like any teas with fruits? I have a soft spot for Green tea and mandarin oranges. Such an excellent combination. Oh, have you tried Matcha? To some it's an acquire taste to others its a treasure. Me I like it well enough but it has to be a pretty high quality LOL I loves me my green teas sorry haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
