What's your favorite tea?

For black tea with caffeine, Tetley with milk and sugar.

For herbal, Celestial seasonings Lemon Ginger. It tastes so good!

My favorite is Twinings Earl Grey.

But I recently discovered that my frugal Mom's favorite - Red Rose - is actually not bad. It makes a good strong cup, and has an interesting flavor.

The only flavored tea I like is The Republic of Tea's Ginger peach - with a little sugar in the raw it is yummy. YUMMY.

I'm pickier with chai - I like the chai that they make at Tryst in Adams Morgan. And I like Teaism's chai. But in terms of buying, I really only like Oregon Chai (which is also used at Cosi). I've grown used to Starbucks Chai, but it's not a favorite.

I've tried to like Constant Comment, but just don't.

2 round bags of Tetley Original. I use the imported one which is much more flavorful and pungent than the USA market one. With 2 bags it makes it almost as strong as black coffee.

Good Earth is a nice spicy-sweet blend. Otherwise, I drink Yogi Lemon Ginger tea.

Black tea I drink with cream & sugar (a rare treat). I drink decaf chai (black tea with spices) plain.

My favorite herbal tea is peppermint because it's a great dessert /digestif.



Please share brand of decaf chai and where you purchase. Thanks!


I buy Twinnings of London at Safeway.

Green tea- Kirklands relabeled Ito En brand and Two Leaves brands. Nothing added.

Black tea- Harneys and Tetley (imported). Nothing added.

Chai- Indian black dried tea- add milk and spices.

Herbal- Most any rooibos, peppermint, and chamomile tea. Nothing added.

I dislike all Tazo teas, Oregon Chai's, and Lipton teas.

I love these too and always buy them online. I like Twinings Darjeeling and Lady Grey for lighter black teas, again both with milk and sugar.

Tazo china green tips is a nice, readily available green tea, and Twinings green isn't bad (though I'm not a fan of their green jasmine).

Herbal tisanes are lovely. Teaism sells a nice chamomile-mint blend called Quiet Evening.

Twinings Lady Grey - milder than Earl Grey

For daily drinking, I like Typhoo (moderately cheap) and even Red Rose (super cheap). [/quote


Did you know that you can re-use the Golden Monkey leaves as many as four times?

I just restocked two days ago, and the salesperson told me to do that. I went to university in the UK, and we re-used our tea there, so it doesn't seem too crazy to me.
