Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

My wife has gotten me into rooibos lately; I'm enjoying that.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Enjoying a glass of that right now. Just getting into cold brewed teas as I've stopped drinking pop. Any suggestions for a newb?

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Lady Grey can be pretty nice, cold brewed, but it gets tannic pretty quickly, so keep an eye on the steep-time.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Found a nice rooibos blend at the market yesterday. Got to taste it cold brewed. Should be great on a hot summer day.

I like Russian Caravan; it's a smoky oolong tea

The el cheaperino stuff, Kroger brand green tea...I love a good matcha but but I don’t like paying for it :)

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Still my usual rotation of al-Ghazaleen first thing in the morning and Ahmad-brand Ceylon tea during the day, both loose-leaf. Let 'em sit and brew nice and strong...on rare occasion, if I do it right (and what "it" is, I still don't know) it can reminds me of a liquid Montecristo!

I always buy green or chamomile tea after workouts. It helps to relax in the evening in combining with cigars. Plus it is soothing and good enough for the body and health.

Drinking some Twinnings Lapsang Souchong I bought today... smoky goodness!

Drinking Pomegranate husk and candied ginger tea I brought back from Israel. Not sure the formal name for this tea.

Needs to be simmered in boiling water for 5 minutes or so to get all the flavor out of it.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Actually it's all pomegranate, the candied piece are pomegranate.

I have a candied ginger rolled in turmeric that can be used as a tea. Tastes good, but looks like piss... I use it more for cooking or snaking instead of tea.

Time to revive this good thread:tu

On my third cup of Yunnan “Black Gold” Bi Luo Chun black tea. Tasty:cf1

Recently tried a Hojicha Latte that was amazing.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I’ve been enjoying Barry’s Gold Blend lately. Solid Irish black tea.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I drink a lot of tea but its all Lipton iced tea. I make it fresh daily reg. (2) 20 oz cups at lunch. Then I make fresh Decaf at night (1) cup at night with my cigars!

I have really been meaning to start trying some hot tea for breakfast. I used to drink coffee everyday, but was killing my acid reflux so I quite years ago and miss it!

What would you recommend for a morning cup that is strong, rich with some sweetness?

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

A British or Irish black would be a good place to start. Taylor’s Yorkshire Tea (I like the red blend), Barry’s I mentioned above, PG Tips Extra Strong, etc. You might find some of these at a Cost Plus World Market, but also easy on Amazon. If you have an Indian food store near you, these also carry imported tea. You’ll find even the Lipton yellow label blows our U.S. stuff away.

If your interested in whole-leaf tea, there are amazing Assams (rich, malty, and sweet) or Yunnan blacks that take things to the next level, imho.

Anybody add milk to your tea

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Sometimes. I’ll add a splash to black tea if I feel like it or if steeped a bit long.
