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.

The secret to appreciating tea more is to drink moreinsertnamehere wrote: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.

I've been quite curious about that, but I'm not a big fan of jasmine in my tea. :\ I could ask for a sample next time though...Mongoose wrote:I've been enjoying phoenix pearls. But mother of pearl, it's not cheap.
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.Lizzy wrote:I've been quite curious about that, but I'm not a big fan of jasmine in my tea. :\ I could ask for a sample next time though...Mongoose wrote:I've been enjoying phoenix pearls.

D: Rooibos tropica! Sounds like my Sonne Afrikas, which I'm pretty much out of. 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.Mongoose wrote:I would pair it with a nice fruity rooibos then.

That's really good iced, btw.Epignosis wrote:Brewing my first cup of Roobios Red.
What about sweet?Mongoose wrote:That's really good iced, btw.Epignosis wrote:Brewing my first cup of Roobios Red.
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.Epignosis wrote:What about sweet?Mongoose wrote:That's really good iced, btw.Epignosis wrote:Brewing my first cup of Roobios Red.
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.
Epignosis wrote:I've never had Oolong either, so that's on my list of things to try.
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.Mongoose wrote:Epignosis wrote:I've never had Oolong either, so that's on my list of things to try.
This is an oversimplification, but it's inbetween a black tea and a green tea on the black <---> white spectrum.
