Title: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: naturallynude on April 26, 2013, 06:11:16 am: Anyone here like the dry leaves boiled in water. I don't mind either tea or coffee although lately it has just been tea as the favourite hot beverage of choice. Do any of you lot have a personel favourite blend etc.

I'm trying not to be a stereotypical Brit who talks about tea here.

Post by: chrisw91 on April 26, 2013, 06:51:02 am: I did like tea but unfortunately I'm not allowed caffeine anymore so I don't get to enjoy the real stuff. I really miss Yorkshire Tea. I still drink the flavored stuff on occasion though, so long as there is no caffeine. Peppermint is my favorite

Post by: Karla on April 26, 2013, 08:48:06 pm: For the last year and a half I've been drinking nothing but red bush tea (Rooibos). A pot of about 4 or 5 mugs will last me a day. I let the tea stew all the time and heat it up in the microwave with some honey. I like it really dark. Although I've started to grow slightly bored of it even though I buy it mixed with several different flavours. I can't find a substitute. I did buy some Twinnings liquorice tea last time I was in the UK and really grew to enjoy the nutty flavour when the tea bags were left in for the same amount of time. Unfortunately I can't find liquorice tea in Germany. If it's used at all then it's part of some weird spicy tea normally involving cinnamon.

Some scientists once raised dart frog tadpoles in red bush tea to avoid fungal diseases during a study. If I stew normal herbal tea for a couple of days then it will end up with something growing in it, but not with red bush tea.

I also stay away from caffeine.

Post by: Delta on April 26, 2013, 10:01:22 pm: I drink sweetened Earl Grey all the time. Not much to say about it really, but whether hot or cold, I enjoy the taste.
Karla, what I sometimes do is toss some liquorice candy into my tea.

Post by: naturallynude on April 26, 2013, 10:34:00 pm: My mum had some Rose and Hibiscus tea once that you had to put actual dried flowers into a pot. She got it off her Japanese friend whilst I got sake.

Post by: Normabq on August 12, 2013, 05:00:02 am: I love tea. I have recently quit drinking coffee and switched to tea. My favorite is Masala Chai. I make it the traditional way with fresh ground herbs and milk and honey with loose Assam tea. I also love jasmine, green tea, white tea, and good old fashioned black tea.

Post by: nerdynudist on August 12, 2013, 05:07:26 am: I love earl Grey
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: hangnaked81 on August 12, 2013, 02:33:54 pm: I've been drinking more loose teas lately. In the past, I've typically drunk Early Grey and English Breakfast (when I need a bit more of a caffeine jolt), but lately I've been trying more white teas.
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: mancomb on September 02, 2013, 03:57:04 pm: I drink tea a lot, I bought my mum some rose tea for her birthday which is amazing but I had some Assam rose milk tea at a Chinese dumpling place recently and that would be my favourite tea I've ever had, the only downside is that it's very easy to drink it super quickly and then you have to get more. I'm also not sure how to make it so I'll have to keep going back there.
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: comporta on September 02, 2013, 04:18:26 pm: Mostly white tea. I know that for a lot of people it seems that it has no real flavour but I pretty enjoy that smoothness...

Post by: david85 on September 12, 2013, 05:44:16 am: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Star Trek - Picard "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" Clips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2IJdfxWtPM#)

I've also recently got into Lapsang Souchong. It's smoked, so it has the most unique taste and aroma. It reminds me of going camping.

Genmaicha is quite nice too. It's green tea mixed with roasted rice.

As for the herbal varieties, I love roiboos, chamomile, mint, and this blend made from toasted almonds, which turns the water pink as it steeps.

Post by: ithildin on September 12, 2013, 02:47:38 pm: A Sunday morning whitout tea is not a real Sunday morning. :laugh:

I like lots of different kind of teas. Mostly from Mariage Fréres (a French tea maker).

Post by: davelemmo on September 12, 2013, 05:27:11 pm: Since last year, I have come to drink Tea a lot more than I used to. Mostly I consume Green and White teas because of their health benefits, and ease of in cup brewing at any strength. I also like Black tea, but have found that I have to brew it in a pot over another pot of boiling water for upwards of 15 minutes to maximise brewing strength. I also like to brew my black tea at a significant strength (three tablespoons of leaf to the pint). I always take my tea without any additives, unless necessary for making a tea drink.

Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Sweetski on March 19, 2014, 10:58:23 am: At home I drink strawberry tea but when I'm out (and should I choose to drink tea) I'll have Earl Grey. Either way, I like my tea dark with milk and sugar.
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Gman707 on April 08, 2014, 08:38:35 am: I am a colossal tea drinker. At the moment I am on a green tea kick because I bought some new japanese tea cups last month. I have been drinking sencha and yang xi hui qang tea.

I always have a stock of different teas in. Currebtly I have the above two, English breakfast, lapsong sushong, darjeeling, red bush, assam, jasmine, chinese flower tea, moroccan cinnamon blend and matte in.

I always have a pot on the go. As soon as one has only a quarter left, I brew up for the next one. If I dont have a cuppa for around an hour I get the shakes...
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Paul on April 08, 2014, 10:31:01 am: Earl Grey is one of my favorite teas! I'm also a growing fan of Japanese green tea and am learning a lot about it still. My wonderful girlfriend bought me some really nice Machta for Christmas, as well as introduced me to a lovely tea shop nearby called "Teavana". It's such a great store!
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Gman707 on April 09, 2014, 07:39:07 am: Ooh yes. Machta is lovely. A bit stronger than sencha. Have you ever experienced Japanese tea ceremony?
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Paul on April 09, 2014, 09:48:19 am: I have not experienced a Japanese tea ceremony, though I think it would be quite a fun experience!
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: fsjm2112 on April 09, 2014, 04:25:03 pm: I drink tea everyday. Its a common thing in my house, we usually make it throughout the day so I'll drink it first then when its hot and later on when it cools down.
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Buzzulepuff on February 19, 2017, 07:22:48 am: I have been drinking tea since I was about 7 or so. My favorite is Irish Breakfast. Similar to English Breakfast but better. Sorry British people.
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: nudetotheworld on July 12, 2017, 01:33:20 am: I like the occasional Bushells tea with a bit of milk :azn: Not too often though...
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: robbington on July 12, 2017, 07:42:37 am: Earl Grey Creme tea is 100% the best tea ever. Put just a tiny bit of sugar in it. :)

I have heard a low murmur of serious PG Tips followers. What is the draw?

Post by: skinnydipper2 on January 16, 2018, 04:38:23 pm: Love tea. Blacks like English breakfast, earl grey, indonisian gold, dragon pearls and much more. Green tea like, matcha, jasmine dragon pearl, and others, white like silver Yin zhen pearls, jasmine silver needle. And many other teas except sweet fruity teas.
Prefer loose leaf if I can
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: KyaraNat on March 01, 2018, 06:33:23 pm: I love tea and infusions of fruit and herbs. On the Italian Alps there is a small shop that prepares excellent hand-crafted infusions. Orange-cinnamon, vanilla - raspberries, berries mix, orange - ginger, apple strudel ..
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: Lenissaalexander on April 13, 2018, 10:42:06 pm: I love pretty much any time of tea. I always steep it for extra long.

The only things I don't like are the super sweet blends.
Title: Re: Tea Drinking Appreciation Socitey.
Post by: ellipsoid on April 14, 2018, 11:22:32 am: I prefer tea to coffee. Earl Gray is a nice standard for hot. I like various kinds of iced tea. Unsweet tea is my standard drink order.

Post by: carbon on July 10, 2018, 02:17:39 pm: My go-to is the Yamamotoyama genmai-cha, but I've bought a pack of loose leaf to use with my french press.
