For all intents and purposes, any kind of green tea.
If I have to specify, I'd say a lemon-ginseng green tea.
I once had Fiji green tea infused with lime and mango, or maybe it was peach and mango, and that was something else.

Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

Earl Grey. But I like just about any black tea. Green...not so much.

plain black or sweetened chai really does it for me

But it's REALLY expensive. :///

Lady Grey tea

Though I could reel off a massive list and bore you all.

Before I was sick, mint, but during my illness the only thing I was given to drink was ginger tea so it's really grown on me.

Snapple Lemon Ice Tea

Oh yeah I'm a man of sophistication.

green tea of any variety

Am I the only that hates this stuff? The one time I tried it (along with my mother) we both had terrible cases of the runs, but maybe it was just a coincidence...or the brand of tea we used. It was that powered shit.

I never got that from green tea.

I drink Chinese Green Tea and it tastes amazing. Also I have some mixture of Earl Grey and Ceylon (or is Earl Grey a type of Ceylon?) and I drink that a lot, but I'd drink green tea all the time if I could get it cheaper. 20 bucks for 200g = meh

Interesting, I love pomegranates, so this might be the tea for me.

My favorite would have to be English Breakfast. Some others I enjoy are...

Earl Grey
Green
Orange Pekoe
Peppermint
and of course, Raspberry Iced Tea

If I'm drinking tea by itself, I prefer peppermint, but if it's with food then I like japanese green.

I need to try more teas.

If anyone says orange they should be shot.

I like cold Barley Tea (mugicha) like, all the time.

If I'm feeling rich, I like to drink Itoen's Green Tea, but my all-time favorite is Gogo no Koucha, by Asahi, the milk tea one. mm.

I am craving that lemon ginseng green tea stuff but I bought a box of sleepy time tea at the store yesterday. Love that stuff.

Sweet Tea is the only thing I do.

I was actually about to come in here and make a topic about tea, but here it is. I used to not like tea much at all, but a friend introduced me to chai and I love it. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion on the best brands to use and what to mix in with it if anything at all.

Right now I have a 'variety' of green tea pack, including regular green tea, and the flavors lemon-ginsing, mixed berry, honey, and lemon.
I just bought today pomegranate and cinnamon-chai. I hope they're good.

Also, how long do you guys leave your teabag in? Just curious. I'm gonna try putting them where the coffee filters go too, maybe double brew.

I get the leaves so I just leave them in. And I just got this jasmine tea online and it's tastes exactly like Chinese green tea but with jasmine. Good stuff.

You mean Orange Pekoe, or some orange flavored tea? Orange Pekoe should just mean that the tea is all whole leaf. It has nothing to do with flavor.




5 minutes at most. After that, nothing you're getting out of the tea bag is good. Pretty much all you're going to get is more tannins, which are almost exactly the opposite of what you want your tea to be; they're bitter, so your tea's going to taste bad, and they're depressants, so they end up counteracting the tea's caffeine. For the same reason, you never want to squeeze your tea bags or do that little bobbing manuever thing. Both are done because they make you feel like you're getting as much as you can out of the tea bag, when the truth is that you don't want everything in it.


As for me, I usually stick with Earl Grey, but I got some cheap tea from Twinings online not too long ago (I'll check and see if it's still running), and this vanilla black tea I got is really quite good.

EDIT: Yep, it appears to still be going. http://slickdeals.net/?pno=8759&lno=1&afsrc=1, with coupon TWININGS, will get you either 120 bags each of 3 varieties or 300 bags each of 2 varieties for around $30. They've even got some loose leaf stuff too.

sweet tea ya'll lolsouth
