Ahhhhhh other tea drinkers!! This makes me so happy!

I dig a good strong Irish Breakfast or regular chai tea in the morning with honey and a splash of milk.

Also, at the risk of looking like a creepy selling Internet bot (I promise I won't try to sell you knock-off shoes), if anyone is looking for reasonably priced, tasty teas with nerd themes, adagio teas is AWESOME. My friend got me Ten Tea (Ten for the Tenth Doctor, of course) and it was incredible (I just ran out and I'm terribly, terribly sad about that). Irish Breakfast, chocolate nibs, and marigold flowers. Here's the site: http://www.adagio.com/

Money is the reason I haven't replenished my Ten Tea. She is a cruel mistress.

Well, lookie here at all of these snot-nosed prim n' proper types with their "Doolung" and "Rudy-O" tea? Why can't they drink Lipton Black Tea, the drink of America? No sugar, sweetener is for pussies. And if you even mention milk, they're gonna be scraping bits of your ass off of the Big Wall of China, or whatever the hell it's called.



Seriously though, reading this thread makes me feel ashamed at my amateur level of tea appreciation. I still use tea bags, yes, I ashamed of myself too. Every time I try and delve deeper into the world of tea, I read about infusions, blends, mixtures, concoctions, and all sorts of witchcraft that makes me feel intimidated and inadequate.

Ture. :noble:

About two years ago, I was drinking Lipton bagged green tea and thought I was such a tea enthusiast. Truth be told, it was quite a novelty to drink green tea for pleasure and not herbal stuff that you pick and dry yourself for medicinal purposes. But then I went to Poland and tried some loose leaf green tea with various flavours, which I would still have with lemon and sugar because I couldn't stand the taste. In time I discovered two tea shops and started trying stuff from there. I'm still learning, btw, especially when it has to do with the brewing temperature. I only have an electric kettle that boils the water to 100C, so I have to guess the correct-ish temperature when I try to steep green tea or oolong and then try to figure out how long I'm supposed to let that steep. You get used to it in time, and before you know it you become a tea snob yourself. But that's because it can be so delicious. ;D Your tea conversations will be something like:
I got some tea.
Really? What kind?
Oolong.
Really? What kind?
Dong ding.
Really? Where from?
Uhm... Taiwan.
Cool. Where from?
Errr... the high mountains...
Nice. Where from?
Oh sod off!

I would pair it with a nice fruity rooibos then. It definitely cuts through the zing of the jasmine. So I brew half pearls and half rooibos tropica (from Teavana) usually. It's also nice iced.

D: Rooibos tropica! Sounds like my Sonne Afrikas, which I'm pretty much out of. :overreact: I don't know why my brain seems to freeze when it comes to blends. It does the same thing when it comes to cocktails. I guess I'm used to pretty good quality stuff which is good on its own, and mixing it would be blasphemous. Butt, I'm seriously considering getting a sample of phoenix pearls k and perhaps even mixing it with some rooibos.

I still don't know what type of Chinese green tea I bought, but if it's steeped just right, it's amazing. It has dried pineapple, mango, orange blossom and rose petals. <3

What about sweet?

I normally drink black teas, but I saw this this morning and decided I'd try it. It's very good. Not tannic at all like some blacks can be.

Fun fact! Rooibos is actually needles instead of a conventional leaf, so it won't get that tannic feel that blacks and oolongs get. Sweet is good because I think it has a natural sweetness that you can play up with the right amount of sweetener.

Some people in South Africa like to make a Capetown Fog, which is like a London Fog by adding milk and vanilla syrup.

This is an oversimplification, but it's inbetween a black tea and a green tea on the black <---> white spectrum.

ture, and there are greener oolongs that are oxidized only a little more than green teas, and darker ones that are almost completely oxidized like black tea is.

We've been trying to cut down on how much soda pop we drink so we've been getting Iced Tea at the store (and I learned to brew Iced coffee. Eff you Starbucks!!).

We're very fond of the Hibiscus iced tea from Tazo. It is slightly tart like cranberries and super yum and refreshing. :)

I am a big fan of red zinger iced and that's hibiscus based too I think. Yum for tasty honest tea as well. I like Morrocan mint in general though as a hot tea.

Can you guys stop talking about tea so much? Every time I log on I see that there is a new post and get excited, and then I see that it's about tea and it's one crushing disappointment after another.
