    I drink tea when I run out of coffee & dont want to go to the store :smiley: always good to have a back up plan. My grandmother was a tea drinker & i do enjoy a good hot cup of tea also. I add honey or a cough drop in tea when its frigid outdoors. There are so many great flavors too

    I'll admit it I'm a tea snob.

    1. Jasmine Green
    2. White Jasmine
    3. Oolong
    4. Jasmine pearl (when I can afford it)
    5. NO BLACK or Iced Tea for me

    Mine is all ordered from Ten Ren in China. It can also be from Japan or Taiwan as Ten Ren is one of the largest suppliers in the world. I've ordered from many others and have found that I didn't like their product as well and went back to Ten Ren time after time. Must all be full leaf none of that bag stuff! It's horrible to drink once you've had "real" tea and not dust off the floor :smile: I always have lots on hand and drink pretty much everyday a full pot to myself.

    I'm on a green tea kick. (but love coffee a little too much)
    Black or Green tea is supposed to be really good for men (prostate)
    but you have to drink 4-5 cups a day...
    Also good for heart and fighting off stroke...

    Twinings - "English Breakfast"....my favorite. Just a good tasting tea for me.

    Damn, I'm a poet and didn't know it.

    See what I did there? Okay, I'll shut up...

    I'm with you. Don't go for the esoteric teas. Nice cup of Orange Pekoe is my favorite (with milk, of course). Maybe Earl Grey when I'm feeling wild and crazy.

    But Twinnings is excellent too.

    I like iced Thai tea (not chai) with a twist of lime... very deep earthy flavor with spices. No milk or sugar.

    I'm an iced tea guy, but my wife loves hot tea...even makes her own herbal tea from stuff she grows - peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, lavender, rosemary, sage. She dehydrates it all after harvesting. She dehydrated some Myer lemon last time as well. Buys dried chamomile to add.

    I might be able to scare-up samples if you tea baggers lovers want some.

    Interesting, you've got me curious. Thinking maybe I should try out some loose leaf teas. Gotta look this place up. Possible rabbit hole trap?

    And all of you who like EB tea, try ACTUAL English tea like Typhoo or PG Tips. Blows the Twinings crap away.

    I actually started out a hot tea drinker, and later went to coffee. Still love tea, hot and iced. I don't drink soda, at all, I prefer ice tea.

    It's iced sweet tea for me. If it's warm enough to melt the ice then its too hot.
