Le Tea

[HEIRESS]

my favorites:

with a big ass gob of honey (http://www.celestialseasonings.com/images/products/large/07073407077.jpg)

I adore hibiscus teas (http://www.yogitea.com/Spice-Tea/Tea.asp?Tea_ID=ET14) and yogi brand tea is fucking excellent because it is so potent and strong

I drink green tea and rooibos tea as much as possible

and peppermint teas are also at the top of my list

[HEIRESS]

whoa, that tea sounds feckin intense

[HEIRESS]

rooibos was used as a substitute for breast milk by african mothers
its THAT good for you

[cosmo105]

omg heiress we sell yogi tea and celestial seasonings at my store :eek:

personally, i can't stand rooibos tea. yeah, it's full of antioxidants, but god damn does it taste like ass.

i try to avoid caffeine but damnit i love a good earl grey every once in a while. and oh man jasmine green tea. i got steger lovin' that stuff too.

i used to drink this guy's tea (http://www.sirjasonwinters.com/) (warning, lame music and site) twice a day. it's good stuff. definitely felt a difference on it. these days i really love coffee substitutes with a little bit of soy creamer, any herbal blend (especially PMS ones heh) and peach flavored teas.

i really enjoy black tea

but right now i mostly have this stuff (http://www.celestialseasonings.com/images/products/large/20ct_RZ.jpg) and to wake me up at work i drink the awake tea that stabucks has. that one is actually black too, go figure


edit: can you direct me too a good place to purchace some of that rooibos tea?

my favourite flavours are kiwi, green tea with lime, lemon and peach

[ms.peachy]

Everything this company makes (http://www.dragonflyteas.com/) is great. They are a little on the expensive side, but I couldn't live without them.

[HEIRESS]

see regular rooibos really doesnt taste that great
it has a very earthy almost dirt like flavour
but I would still drink it

but alot of companies make flavoured varieties

shee-iiit

tetley even makes a vanilla rooibos that is fucking awesome and you should be able to find it at any damn grocery store

it is said it is even better for you than green tea
though green tea is great for you, rooibos is said to have almost 50% more antioxidants in it in comparison

in my house, we drink chilean leaf tea (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v438/moonstar85/HPIM0161.jpg) that we make in a pretty little kettle (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v438/moonstar85/HPIM0162.jpg)

it tastes so goooood. but occasionally (especially when mom's around), we also get yogi tea. it's the brand she likes the most.

Fruit teas smell good but taste crap (n)

Indeedy. Can't stand the stuff :(

I like peppermint myself, earl gray ain't too bad either.

[cosmo105]

oh god, i love pepperment tea. LOVE IT. nothing better for the tummy. (y)

yeah, heiress, i've heard anywhere from 50-80% more antioxidants. it's crazy. tastes like boiled dirt though :(

huh? how? :confused:

chai tea is spiced tea. you add milk. weirdo.

there's a great japanese tea house in a town close to mine. i showed Chewie and his woman around and they drooled all over everything for about an hour. it was pretty embarrassing, really. i had to clean up after them and apologize to everyone.

Its nice that Cosmo takes care of the old people.

Tea is a good sunday date. Everyone and their car's dog gets coffee. Tea is for the refined and bitchen people.

Jasmine, I used to love it as a kid. Still like it but don't drink as much of it as I used to.

I love tea. One of my favorites is this one (http://www.kalyx.com/store/images/1451a.jpg), and my every day drink of choice is this (http://www.tejava.com/image/main.gif). I add sugar, lemon, and ice.

I think "chai" actually means tea.

Golden Sail Green Tea, found in the asian aisle of most supermarkets

the REAL shit, and damn good tea, with or without honey

[mp-seventythree]

I love tea. Aside from the regular Brit tea (builders tea) that everone drinks here, I also drink nettle, rooibos (smells a bit like leather though), green tea, peppermint or liqorice tea.

You know I am all about coffee, all kinds and the "culture" that surrounds it. I would really love to get into tea beucase it is so much better for you but I associate it with being sick when I was younger my mom would give us tea or a hot tottie...what's a good place to start if I wanted to get into some good healthy teas. At this moment I have green tea and sleepy tea in my cupbord but the smells scare me....any suggestions??

[Licorice Donut]

Do not drink Yerba Mate tisanes they are repulsive.
