Tea Corner
 

What sort of tea are you drinking now?

Well I finally tried lapsung shouchong or whatever it's called... didn't care for it. The "smoke" aroma is overbearing. If it was more subtle it would not be bad. In fact if you drink this tea while holding your nose it's not a bad flavor

Re: Tea Corner
 

My favorite is Earl Grey.

Re: Tea Corner
 

earl grey is a nice tea. My favorite is a tea I can no longer get. It was made by Coffee Bean and Tea leaf Co. Peach Ginger White tea...really good

Re: Tea Corner

Re: Tea Corner

Re: Tea Corner
 

I like several that I tried from Teavana (teavana.com). They have a few locations in Dallas. Great place to find new teas.

Re: Tea Corner
 

My favorite tea is coffee. In second place, Constant Comment.

Re: Tea Corner
 

A few of my favorites. I prefer my tea with a little cream and a touch of honey.

1. White Tip Earl Grey
2. Apple Spice Black Tea from englishteastore.com
3. Peach Tea from englishteastore.com I like to steep it with a little fresh or candied ginger
4. Organic Chamomile

Re: Tea Corner
 

Earl Grey, hot, if it's good enough for Picard, it's good enough for me! :nod

:doggyrun

Re: Tea Corner
 

I was wondering if maybe the batch I got was just to strong. Really for me I would not mind the smokey flavor/aroma if it was more subtle

Re: Tea Corner
 

You guy it online? BTW where do I get powdered ginger?

Re: Tea Corner
 

Ok, whats your favorite tea place and do you buy online?

We do have tea places here, but Id have to drive 30 min or so just to get there. Ive never been there but a church brother has. I usually go to Coffee Bean and Tea leaf or Peets Coffee, both of which sell loose leaf or loose leave in a bag. However they don't have a lot of varieties

Re: Tea Corner
 

Oasis mango white tea sounds good

Re: Tea Corner
 

If the smokiness is too strong, you may like the Czar Nicholas Russian Caravan Tea from englishteastore.com It has lapsang souchong, but it isn't as strong.

From their web page: Czar Nicholas Russian Caravan Tea http://www.englishteastore.com/1mt-cnrc.html

During the Czar’s time tea was the most important drink after vodka in Russia. This tea has a long history, and the Lapsang Souchong in the blend gives the hint of mystery. The tea has a delicate flavor with a lively sprightly slightly toasty character. Perfect after a dinner party.

Re: Tea Corner
 

Interesting

Re: Tea Corner
 

do a 30/70 blend with just about any loose black tea should tame it

Re: Tea Corner
 

grocery stoe spice aisle.


I buy everything at www.adagio.com.

they have these 2 oz sample tins that are a cheap way to try diferent teas.

Re: Tea Corner
 

Yeah russian caravan is good and not as strong.

the smoking was actualy a preservation method

Re: Tea Corner
 

Usually Tazo chai with a little milk.

Re: Tea Corner

The Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea is pretty much all that I drink. :thumbsup

Re: Tea Corner
 

Yeah, guess I could start a Lager Corner ... that would go over like a drunk sailor at church.

Re: Tea Corner
 

A coworker went to India a few weeks ago and brought me some Darjeeling tea. loose leaf (the best way to get any tea imho).

very nice. I drink it in the afternoon instead of a second cup of coffee.

Re: Tea Corner
 

I'll agree with Timmy on this one. I do prefer coffee.

But do enjoy tea occasionally, constant comment is one.
I also enjoy some of the herbal teas. My favorite is Bigelow Plantation Mint.

Another good brand is The Republic of Tea.

Re: Tea Corner
 

I love it when that happens! :toofunny

Re: Tea Corner
 

English Breakfast

I cannot stand flavored tea or Chai! Yuck!

Re: Tea Corner
 

We have a neat local shop-The Tea Smith.
It's set up like a coffee shop, small tables, free WiFi.

And all kinds of teas, cups, tea pots, strainers
My favorite is an in cup brewing basket.

Re: Tea Corner
 

My son in law (born in India) does the same.Loves his coffee, but tea is for the afternoon.
My adorable grandaughter tells her mom she wants tea. She receives diluted herbal tea with milk. And she loves it:heart

Re: Tea Corner
 

Love Earl Grey decaf or Raspberry Tea by Bigelow - with sugar, of course!!!

Re: Tea Corner
 

You should try Raw Agava. That is very good and is much more healthy! Doing my anti-sugar plug! It makes me feel sick. :vomit LOL!

Re: Tea Corner
 

You mean raw agave? I've only had it cooked, fermented, and distilled. ;)

Re: Tea Corner
 

Lipton tea really sweet,southern style you know.

Re: Tea Corner
 

LOL! Yes, raw agave!!!!! Quit correcting my spelling!! It's not polite!!! :thwak

I heard, yesterday, that it's best to buy Tequila sweetened with raw agave. The brands sweetened with sugar (corn syrup) is what gives you the hangover! Who knew?!!!! :toofunny

Re: Tea Corner
 

Just asking!. :) Thought maybe with the 'a' it was a brand name or something.

Yes, always look for "100% blue agave" on the label. :thumbsup

:heeheehee

Re: Tea Corner
 

You can always tell when I have more than three tabs open - my spelling starts going downhill. I guess I can't multi-task that well. :toofunny


:thumbsup

I was reading an old Christmas Southern Living magazine the other day. One article featured a Mexican family. He was instructing on how to drink Tequila. You don't use shot glasses. You use brandy sniffers and drink it like a fine wine. No wonder the men are so......... :toofunny

Re: Tea Corner
 

I've used the dark raw agave in my hot tea before. I didn't like it as much as I do organic honey. Maybe the light agave would be better in it? I have read that the dark adds a little flavor that the light agave doesn't?

Re: Tea Corner
 

I think it's a preference choice. I also prefer the organic raw honey but, I keep the raw agave on hand for my husband so that he won't use regular syrup. He bucked me on all of this until he lost one pants size. Now he's listening to me. :D

I think the Organic Blue light Agave is not raw. They don't carry the raw in my local grocery store. I have to go the healthfood store. Wholefoods carries a larger container which, of course, is cheaper in the long run.

This is why dehydrated foods are so much more healthy. They cook at a lower temperature, preserving the enzymes.
