Let's Talk About Tea!

[Beautitude]

I just hate when I have the perfect cup and go for that last sip but there is none left in the mug.

That just happened to me now! Had to make another cup but no way will it be as good I'm sure!

I'm a huge tea drinker. My fav is good old Lipton. Not sure why, think it brings back memories of my childhood. I love tea with milk or lemon or honey and lemon if I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Need to broaden my tea education i think so will need to check out sone of these recommendations!

Funny that you like chamomile in the morning as I like it in the evening sometimes if I want a good nights sleep due to it's sleepy/relaxing effect or I have it to aid in digestion as it relaxes your colon. I also drink peppermint if I have a headache or just feel achy all over or if I want a bit of a pick me up. I LOVE rosehip but don't drink it that much. My main every day tea is Earl Grey and I have a cup every morning with milk and honey. I also love Chai and stopped drinking it while pregnant on a daily basis but I really must get back into it again as it's by far my favorite! I can never get the tea strong enough though and while pregnant I even had 2 tea bags in some times. I have been given a recipe for chai tea so I might start making it myself and brewing it up really strong... sighs... I can smell it now! AHHHHH Others that I really like are green tea as a 'filler' for when I want a cuppa but think I should have a healthier option and lemon and ginger is great for if I feel a bit sick or to warm up my body in winter. Adding some real ginger and a real slice of lemon gives it an extra bit of grunt too.

green tea with mint is my fave. but i also like lady grey, peppermint & i love green tea with roasted rice (not sure if that's the right name for it though )

I love English breakfast with the tiniest amount of milk. And a huge fan of iced tea's.

I've recently discovered T2. Turkish apple... drool..

[Sopdet]

I do love my tea, am gradually getting a tea collection up now that i have access to specialist tea places. I prefer loose leaf, but will do the silk bags like t-2 put their tea in at a pinch.

I can't wait for winter, as it is perfect tea weather

[Traveller]

First thing in the morning I need a super strong mug (or two) of English Breakfast

Mid afternoon a chai is good

by the afternoon I want an Early Grey

And in the evening a fruit tea, or calmomile honey and lemon to help me sleep.

I am also partial to a green tea on occasion

Ahh I love a good cup of tea

T2 Have it. In chunky too! Not sure how it would compare, but definitely nommable. I've been trying to convince J to buy more since he works near T2!

I am the same with milk, the worst is someone making it for you and when you say a drop of milk you get it and it is almost white. I always say make it look like dirty water or I do it myself.

Oooh yeah. I could drink it black easily!
My husbands family is english and I think they said milky tea is the norm for them. And so when I've said just a little bit, it's still massive amounts! I've gotten very good at politely 'forgetting' to drink my tea whilst talking.

Finally, people who like tea! I need lots of milk in my tea, so the herbal teas aren't for me.
My main everyday tea is Nerada but I love English Breakfast and Earl Grey.
Darjeeling is nice too on occasion, as is Lady Grey, Orange Pekoe or Vanilla.
And a chai latte is my absolute fave, though I don't really like normal chai tea. Raw Energy (a cafe, are they a chain??) make the best chai latte ever. It comes on a tray with a pot, separate milk, honey etc, takes up the whole table almost and you make it yourself how you want it. Now that's a proper chai latte!

[Rouge]

Traditional Afternoon or Irish Breakfast are my fave teas to have with milk.

Herbal I love White Rose Tea. That would be my fave. Next would be Green Tea w/Rose. Then probably Genmaicha (green tea with toasted brown rice).

I used to take tea very seriously. Had bit of an obsession at one point. Even had a "tea cupboard". But life has got in the way since then.

ahhh, that's what it's called! it's so nice

Ooh the milk in tea thing is such a problem I have found. Everyone is so particular. One "friend" was so bad (and rude) about it, that in the end I would just hand her the tea cup and milk to do it herself. She rudely rejected a cup I made for her one day (it had 1 1/2 tsp, rather than 1), so I drank mine, then I drank hers and did not make her another.

I like about a tablespoon (never measured, so just a guess)

I'm never that fussy. For me to not drink it, it has to be so milky. It makes me feel ill if I drink it. And I've never been rude about it! It's just milk in tea after all.

[Kazbah]

I like my Lady Grey tea - bought some new chai latte mix today, might go try it out now!

I'm the same. I am fussier at home, than when I am out.

[sconeonamission]

I used to drink tea with milk in, but I just can't do it anymore! It just happened, pretty much over night when I was in my teens (seems like so long ago now!).

I like black tea... Not really fussed on brand. Not a fan of Earl Grey, but will drink it if there's all there is... But I discovered Darjeeling at at a wedding 12mths ago. Delish!

T2 has some good flavours! My sil says there's a boutique tea shop at South Bank in Brisbane. Might have to check it out!
