Tea?

[Krisken]

Teavana is decent. Republic of Tea makes a good Chai.

So do you think Teavana is worth the price? Their prices seem to run a little on the high side.[/QUOTE]
For myself, no. I can get just as much Republic Tea as Teavana and it costs a little less. It really, REALLY, depends on taste.

Your best option is to get a small sampling and try it out. If you're ever at a store, they have teas you can test out and see if you think it's worth it. Like anything food wise, it's all about personal taste.

I occasionally drink green tea. It's okay. I like the variety that has mint leaves in it as well.

 

[Cajungal]

I like herbal tea.

Jesus Christ bacon tea? I don't know whether to jump for joy or burn out my taste buds.

 

[phil]

Wouldn't that just taste like watery bacon? Or bacon in water?


ew

probably

I've been trying to get a taste for green tea, with a tablespoon of honey it's not bad. Though keep in mind, if you really want to switch from soda for health reasons, most bottled or sweet flavored teas are pretty much just as bad for you. Fresh-brewed green or black tea are the only ones with any kind of health benefits demonstrated.

Earl Grey is definitely an acquired taste. It takes a little time to get used to the bergamot flavoring. Worth it, though, in my opinion. I drink green tea when coffee gets to be too much for my system

Most black teas made hot make me nauseated for some reason. Earl Grey, though, hits the spot especially with a little milk. I do enjoy a good hot or iced chai, too.

Republic of Tea is very good. I really like their honeysuckle white tea and Earl Greyer black tea. Harney & Sons makes a tea called Yellow and Blue that is nice. It's chamomile and lavender. Their Winter White Earl Grey was interesting, too.

Hibiscus tea is delicious when made right, too.

I really enjoy wheat tea, but in my experience I've found that most people find the taste off-putting.

I have never liked tea, until college. I went to school with some people from Paraguay and they drink Yerba Maté.

It is definately an acquired taste but healthy and tasty.

The way you think of green tea is how I think of Earl Grey. When I've had enough coffee (as if that ever happens) then I'll drink Earl Grey.

I usually drink water but sometimes I want tea.

My wife and I love tea. We got like at LEAST 10 different type.

Teavana is good for one thing: to have tea properly prepared to show the North Americans why "dust in a bag" is the worst tea ever by taste comparision. One you are converted, there are many better places to buy tea leaves

I picked up a Green tea with citrus and a lemon herbal. I'll give one of them a try later tonight and see how that goes. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared for the event that the nearby grocery store I go to just didn't carry most of what was suggested.

 

[Koko]

Any black tea
with milk
and honey

 

[Element 117]

if you're switching to tea for health reasons, watch your sugar intake via additives.

 

[Morphine]

Oh Tea... I LOOOVE it.

Red Tea is one of my favorites, I drink it with lots of ice, very very cold, no sugar or honey or anything. Earl grey is the only tea I sometimes corrupt with a bit of milk but that's it, I like my teas flavorful, sugar just ruins it for me, AND the Red berries infusion with a hint of coconut milk is a freakin orgasm in your mouth.
Chai I really don't like, it tastes like perfume. hwell:
Black tea, green tea, herbal tea, mint tea, Long island iced tea sneaky ...I love them all.

 

[Calleja]

You tea slut!

 

[Krisken]

Chai tastes like perfume? I believe it does to you, I just have trouble seeing it myself.

 

[Calleja]

Chai tastes like dirt that has been shat on by an incontinent sumo wrestler.

 

[Morphine]

Ha! Now I know what I want the next item on my desk at work to be...

I really don't want to know why you know what shit from an incontinent sumo wrestler tastes like.

In China I drink a lot of Tie guan yin and Silver needle tea (yin zhen cha) and I generally enjoy what they call Tea water (both the Chinese and Korean varieties).

 

[Chazwozel]

Well isn't beer just water added to some kind of plant matter that is left to basically rot?

No, stfu.
