TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

This thread is meant to share what tea you're drinking, be it Lipton to Pu'erh.

Tonight I am drinking Jasmine Pearls green tea from Adagio. Not bad, but I need more convincing to buy more.

What Tea are you drinking?

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I'm drinking Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice.:dr

It's been the start of my day for the last couple weeks.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Some mainland TGY brought over earlier in the year by a student. Doesn't taste like TGY Taiwanese style, I doubt it is even from the TGY bush - more like an AliShan oolong (chinshin bush) to my taste.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Drinking a cup of Adagio's Lounge Chair Lapsang. Not as smoky as I would prefer, but well balanced.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Lipton decaf iced.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Arizona Green with Honey and Ginseng. I could I.V. this stuff to myself I love it so much.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Had a cup of Lounge Chair Lapsang, now working on a cuppa Jasmine Pearl green Tea.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

so what's your verdict on the Jasmine Pearl? I was a big fan when I first started drinking it. Now, not so much. The perfumed taste is not something I'm fond of anymore. For a change of pace it's OK but I have to be in a certain mood for it. Sometimes I throw in a couple pearls and brew up a mix of utility teas just to give it a lift.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Sorry it's taken me forever to get back to you!

The perfume is a bit much for me. I can bear it once in a while, but those teabags will likely go a long while before I use them all.


I had Ginger Pu-erh tea the other day. That was interesting. I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I think it made the Pu-erh taste/smell funky.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Teavana Winter berry spice. Just found this store a week ago their teas are really good.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I'm using Teavanna as well. Good stuff!

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Some BOTL here (Emjaysmash himself - thanks again, brother!) bombed me a bag of Teavana China White Needle (I think that was the name of it) a while back. Now I need to go to their website and order a couple others. I really liked the change of pace from coffee.

Tazo Earl Grey this morning

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Teavana Maharaja Chai Oolong

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

A milk oolong from Teasource. I tried it a couple times at work but the water wasn't hot enough, it's quite good with my electric kettle.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

smokers don't drink a lot of tea? I may be an exception then? I prefer tea over milk and coffee though I hate the nasty stain it sometimes causes. Right now I am into chamomile tea. My girl says it helps cure insomnia.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Barry's Irish Tea. Great stuff.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Really enjoying "Gold Peak Iced Tea" which is easy to find in most every grocery store. "gjose" a good way to avoid staining your teeth with coffee and tea's is to drink them through a straw. You get used to it after awhile and it really does make a difference.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I like tea. I have a mug of Tailors of Harrogate Yorkshire Tea here with me now.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

¢99 cans are a gold standard, always have a gallon at the house to!

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I am going to be drinking Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Tea. My daughter phoned from town to say she had found a store with a promotion that made it quite inexpensive, so I asked her to buy a dozen boxes (960 bags). That should last a month or two.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Been consuming quite a bit of Luzianne Tea in the morning, and Twinings Earl Grey Tea in the evening.

For a sweetner, Stevia in the Raw packs...

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

My go-to is Al-Ghazaleen, a loose-leaf Ceylonese tea from Sri Lanka. :dr

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Bumping this up. I've been drinking a lot of tea lately. Puerh mostly, lots of Raw/Sheng/Green (whatever you prefer calling it).

Favorite lately has been a 2007 variety out of the mengku factory; mu ye chun 002.
Very good stuff, and can still be had for 30 bucks a cake which is a dang good price.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Sweet Tea.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

picked up some Just Make Taiwan Tea oolong.

Loose tea sold in a vacuum pack and packaged in a tin. Awesome quality tea for a great price $5+/100g on sale. Lightly fermented. Tastes faintly like a natural milky oolong. Been able to steep 6 times with a final cold steep (for several hours) and delicious every cup. Very creamy taste and aroma and mildly vegetal tasting.

Gotten where?

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

bought it locally at a Chinese supermarket, of all places. I believe this brand is available at retailers in Australia but not sure about the US. Just Make is the brand.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Twining's English Breakfast

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

China Pu-Erh Tuo Cha, Size 1.

I like the pressed shape and wrapping for the tactile sensation of preparing this tea. It is a very unique flavor, very earthy, almost some mushroom notes. I like it with a bit of honey in it.

I had read something by someone, not remembering where, that they enjoyed this tea. It was a strange enough name that I had to consider it. Nobody locally had it, so I had to order it online.

I am glad I did.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Iced chaga tea.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I'm not a huge tea or coffee guy, but I recently found Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger when I was pushing through a nagging sore throat. Tasty tasty!

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Just recently got in to the tea thing started with Lapsang a very tasty tea strong and heavy in smoke almost camp fire! Yun WU green, also split a tea cake of 1962 Pu-Erh.
The same damned co-worker that started me smoking cigars got me into this Tea thing. Also got a plastic steeper for these loose leaf tea's. I enjoyed tea before but now it is a whole new world.
If anyone has a suggestions please let me know.

Russian Caravan from TWG in Singapore.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Golden Monkey. Fantastic Chinese black from Fujian province. Supposed to taste of stone fruit/peach but I get more of a honey/sweet chocolate hints.

This morning is dragon wall

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

We are going to high tea service today at the Ritz Carlton Montreal at 1:30.

Breakfast was $85 for two this morning... How much tea service is??? I don't want to know.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Darjeeling today. Organic Selimbong 2nd flush '14

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Tea service was delightful in the end. I had a lovely Lapsang Soujong that was quite similar to the Russian Caravan my better half makes at home. She had a Darjeeling. We forgo the Dom Perignon opener because we were going to a wine event later in the day. Tea service was just $80 for the two us. Look forward to having it again.

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Today an organic green flavored with ginkgo & citrus rind. Ginkgo is reputed to improve brain function. You wouldn't know it by me. But the tea does taste good.

PG Tips with half a packet of "Sugar in the Raw" turbinado sugar to take the edge off!

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Yorkshire Tea with milk, hold the sugar. Switched to Yorkshire from Barry's. Was a controversial move in my house!

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

I take Ginko pills every day. I never thought to drink it as a tea! Thanks for the idea.

I typically drink a mint tea. Love mint. Helps settle a sour stomach as well!

Re: TEA: What are you Drinking?
 

Just restocked on all my Barry's Teas. A box of gold blend, a box of classic blend, and a tin of master blend. All great teas and go down great with cigars.
