ITT You reccomend me a new tea to drink

I drink a healthy amount of tea, and as such i'm looking to expand my horizons. I looked around for a place on this forum that I would get better answers posting in, and with the exception of PS (which i don't think this really qualifies for) I couldn't find anything.

So I pose the question to you, CD, what teas are worth drinking?

I've been drinking Tazo's Organic Apple Red tea at work recently and they're pretty tasty, I will probably try some of their others flavors when I'm done with this box. It does kind of leave a dryness in my mouth afterwards though which I find kind of odd.

bolay since you're into the dark side
no dryness in mouth

My favorite hot tea is Tawdry & Ostentatious, perhaps you have heard of it?

there is only one tea.

Ironically enough, Sweet Tea is the only tea a man can drink without being a sissy.

Chai is good but I like more flavored teas then anything.
I'm currently hooked on either Red Rose Earl Grey or this crazy Vanilla Hope stuff thats extremely expensive.

Celestial Seasoning's Bengal Spice

Plenty of teas are worth drinking. Do you prefer loose or bagged? Bitter or sweet? Herbal or fruit? Personally, I like Rooibos. Tazo's Passion is pretty amazing. I have some mild teas that are like Orange/Jasmine and those are good if you want a light flavor to add to your water. Trader Joes had a White Pomegranate tea that a lot of people really love and I, too, thought it was good.


Chai has such a different meaning abroad than it does in the US.... "Tea" being the literal translation for Chai.

I beat you.

wow

is this a joke let this be a joke plz

this isnt a joke this cant be a joke

tea is for fucking weirdos

I'll drink almost any kind of tea, but I prefer herbal and strong.

There is most likely some sort of tea shop or stand around where you live. This is the best place to get tea.

Edit: More specific to your question, these are the best places to get unique teas found nowhere else other than that store. Dreamtea is my favorite from my local herb shop, it's delicious.

you might want to try rooibos or honeybush if you haven't yet. they're from the bark of bushes that grow in southern africa. honeybush is sweeter and a bit mellower, and rooibos is a bit stronger.

the vanilla hope i'm drinking now is rooibos, actually.

rooibos is dutch for "red bush"...

I'm the one that recommended Rooibos to him in the first place.

But Vanilla and Rooibos don't seem like normal combinations.

i've actually seen this combination pretty frequently, and it tastes pretty good.

red bushes are delicious i am just going to throw that out there as it is

where da brits at.

Hah, fuckin' Earl Grey.

part of me wishes you guys could realize how gay you are and the other part is thankful you can't

okay

maesce calling someone gay. Who didn't see this one coming?

I dont understand this thing with Americans where they think Brits just drink Earl Grey

We drink one type of tea

...and that is Tea

speaking of earl grey, i effing hate Twinings.

the best bergamot-flavored tea i've purchased was an iranian brand. it was made with ceyelonese tea, which as everyone knows is the best tea in the world. those skinny exploited brown laborers sure know how to grow tea.

hey you guys are pretty gay

well american taste really has improved THAT much over the last decade to decade and a half when every upper middle class became a wine-snob, pesto became a household word, and the like. granted, it's easier to get better food than before, but most americans still probably don't know what truly good food is.

in other words, americans only say they care about fancy teas to seem sophisticated.

but to be fair there is a branch of tea shops from taiwan that have some american locations, one of which is near me. but that's different since that's chinese.

californian wines and surgeons general

The best tea is Rum and Coke with a nice circumcision

might i suggest iced?

well coq in america what we call iced tea is called sweet tea (which was already mentioned itt)

it seems to be an unwritten rule that whenver you asked for "iced tea" it has to be lemon. HAS TO BE.

If I've been working outside on a hot day I'm partial to a glass of unsweetened ice tea (with lemon). If I'm all hot and sweaty the sugar makes me feel kinda like shit.

i generally drink hot tea with lemon if i can, and i only put sugar in coffee to ease the bitterness

in the northeast and midatlantic we still call it ice tea usually.

also you should try dilmah teas. they're a ceylonese label with single estate grown teas, a little more expensive than most tea but you can really taste the difference.

there was actually an npr piece about them a while ago. they seem to be becoming more widely available in the us at least.

Nothing disgusts me more than artificially sweetened tea.

NOTHING.

if you're going to have artificially sweetened ice tea (or sweet tea), arizona ice tea is the best way to go

I had a friend who worked for some time in a coffee shop in Tennessee. She told me that Sweet Tea is about 3 cups of sugar, 1 cup of tea.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned yerba mate yet. Its not really a tea per se, but is drank in the same manner.
