Tea

[blunthead]

I have never heard of using hot tea bags (ouch). Have used cooled tea bags on the eyes, very refreshing
and takes away the puffiness under the eyes.

I use them for shade.

So how come I don't have one?

I'm a big fan of Celestial Seasonings. The Honey Vanilla Chamomile is a favorite, along with the Madagascar Vanilla Red. During the holidays, I like their Candy Cane Lane tea. And years ago, when I was a girl, there was this hibiscus and rose hip tea that I couldn't get enough of; can't remember the brand, but it was delicious. I'm also a fan of good Southern sweet tea, and unsweetened sun-tea, if it's made right. (nine bags of plain 'ol Lipton black tea, stuck in a glass tea jar and placed in the hot summer sun all day. Put the whole shebang in the fridge, and hey presto! Delicious, strong iced tea.)

And yet, for all my teappreciation, coffee still makes it into my cup every morning.

I love Constant Comment, especially at Christmastime with cookies and Christmas music. I normally don't sweeten it, but on occasion I do, and it changes flavors: it's heavier on the clove when it's sweet.
I make sun tea by the gallon in the summertime with plain old Lipton.
I also love apricot tea.
In the herbals, I'm a fan of peppermint and Celestial Seasonings' Mandarin Orange Spice.

I like lots of different teas.

Green.
There's a label with "honey lemon ginseng green" tea that I like.
Pomegranate/blueberry/acai tea. I don't know if it's got enough stuff to be all that healthy, but it sure sounds healthy.
There's a vanilla chai tea that's really yummy.
Earl Grey, and we drank it before Picard came on the scene.

Really, I like a whole bunch of them. Nothing sweet, nothing creamy. Maybe a dash of liquor in the evening.

I've never tried chai tea......I'm tempted to try some every Wednesday on my weekly visit to the local coffee shop.
My problem is that there are so many choices, that I can't decide.

Hot tea tastes like I imagine water with dirt added to it.
Blech.

I feel this way about green tea.

 

[FlakeNoir]

I feel this way about green tea.

I can't drink green tea anymore, it just tastes like chemo wards.

I do like English Breakfast and Chanui Pure Celyon... I'm not too fussy really and don't drink many herbal teas.

Sundrop Flowering tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flowering Tea
After tea leaves are picked and still moist, they are sewn with cotton thread together with flowers into various shapes and bundles (tea leaves may also be scented with jasmine blossoms before sewing for a more floral flavor). Some shapes take one minute to sew, while other more elaborate designs containing lilies, chrysanthemum, or osmanthus flowers may take up to twelve minutes. The sewn leaves and flowers are shaped into bundles or rosettes and then undergo the usual drying and firing process. They require boiling water in order for the leaves to expand and unfurl

Thanks, Spidey! I'm gonna go on a search for these.

Start out plain-ish, then experiment after you get an idea of the flavors. Maybe black and sweetened. Chai has a pretty spicy and complex flavor.
I have a tendency to say tai chi when I order, and I have to make a mental note to say, chai tea, then I order tai chi. For me, that is the complicated part of ordering chai tea. It's not always easy being me.
Or there is buying a box of it and experimenting at home. Some people like it with milk or cream.

Russian Caravan Tea is one of my top 5 teas. This tea actually has a history. A tea with a past, that's right up my alley. It's really strong and the smoke flavor is ridiculously good. It's not an everyday tea, but perfect on a cold winter night. I am a little in love with this tea.

I love this! I am going to get one for reals. I usually only like stainless steel infusers, but this one is exceptional! Thanks.

Well folks, I'm going to go make myself a pot a Sleepy Time. I'm going to go curl up with Robert McCammon and call it a night.

Which one are you reading?

Which one are you reading?

Stinger. And it's really good. Someone in the what are you reading suggested it since I loved The Border so much.

I drink this most mornings at work.

I like tea hot with honey, but it makes a mess. (for me anyway)
