Let's Talk About Tea!

[Laranna]

I'm partial to a good cuppa, especially English Breakfast. Love a good chai latte too. I don't mind chamomile tea first thing in the morning. The fruity herbal teas can be quite refreshing but I don't like to drink them all the time.

So, what's your favourite tea?

[Nelle]

I love English Breakfast. I also like Lady Grey. Or Earl Grey, but Lady Grey has citrus, mmm.

I remember Inanna raving about Lavendar Grey, but I've never found it!

My BIL's brought me some tea back from China, but I've not tried it yet...

[Purple Penguin]

Earl Grey is my favourite and English Breakfast tea... yum!

Not so much a fan of the herbal teas.

[*Belle*]

my fav is Twinings Irish Breakfast, followed by Twinings English Breakfast, on special ocassion love Orange Peakoe (sp)??

[Nettie]

Yup - my fav is an English Breakfast, but don't mind most teas - including herbal.

Never really been a fan of earl grey though.. not sure why

[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

[*Beema*]

I LOVE tea

I love a totally boring black Liptons plain tea, and Twinings English Breakfast, The Fruity Alsp (or something like that Liptons one), DH makes a wicked iced tea, mixes a few of the fruity one's, we also have a place called teh T-Bar and it is tea heavan!!! I have quite a few different tea's from there

[Kazzo]

I LOVE tea! I always have extra strength Dilmah. I started drinking Chamomile when DD2 was a couple of weeks old because I heard it was good for helping them with wind issues and don't mind it but much prefer black tea. I don't like any flavoured teas at all, the worst I have ever tried is liquorice flavoured. I would have about 8-10 cups a day. I drink it with the smallest drop of milk. If I am feeling a cold coming on I love it with a teaspoon of suger and a squeeze of lemon and if I have an upset tummy I have it with honey.

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

Irish breakfast (Twinings)
English Breakfast (Twinings and Madura)
Australain breakfast
Orange Peko
Early Grey and Lady Grey (but not when preg, tastes yucky then)

Cannot stand the large leaf teas, like Russian Caravan or Prince of Wales

I find I need to chop and change. Sometimes the tea I am drinking just does not taste as enjoyable any more, then I do a swap.

[Mum2SweetCs]

Jasime tea
then oolong tea
then twinnings english breakfast
then dilma green tea

not a fan of earl grey and not a fan of those flvoured teas either

[Indadhanu]

Myself - I hang out for my daily Chamomile. Nerada Organics, fair trade. I like it fresh but this is my next best. And Green Tea with Early Grey. The mix is heaven!

Not a fan of tea with milk, with some commercial teabags definitely need the smoothing out!

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the blends from Soul Tea (google it). YUUUUUUM! Vanilla and Black Tea mmmmmmmmmmm! Choc mint! Mmmhmmm!


I am the party tea-tottler, can you tell...?

[Nettie]

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

Absolutely!!

Now I feel like a cup 'o' tea! DS often says his cup of milk is a 'cup o tea' LOL

We go fairtrade all the way here too.

[~TT40~]

Russian Caravan!!! <---black, strong, no sugar!!! oh baby *makes a cuppa now*

[Babyluv]

I'm a big tea drinker
I love Earl grey, English breakfast, chai, peppermint, chamomile, green tea and I love black adder which is the licorice tea Mmm

[Cherished]

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.

[sloane]

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 )
