I was just going to make myself a cup of Darjeeling. Yes, tea can be great. In fact, I think I'll be adding some honey into it too. And make a sandwich as well. Perfect for a bitterly cold evening like this.

I love Darjeeling when its really strong.

It's too bad tho that tea makes you piss like the Dickens.

BTW Pretty soon Celestial Seasons will have their Christmas tea: Sugar Plum Spice...mmmm..it tastes more like Christmas than Holiday Spice Pepsi.

Tea is amazing. And yeah it's very healthy for you. Especially Green Tea.

I also enjoy Chrysanthemum Tea.. I like the leaves. I order that at Dim Sum all the time. hehe.

I dig on the green tea. Nothing in the states has been as good as the stuff I had in Japan, though. I'm going to the wrong places. I probably need to hit up an asian grocery store or something.
 
The last few years I've become a tea freak. Wife started it with green tea, now we are all over the world map. Hammy, Rooibos is one of my very favorites, particularly with other earthy spices blended in. In green tea I almost always have it with lemongrass now and I'm drinking lots of herbal teas with Yerba Matè and other rainforest botanicals. White tea is smooth but too expensive. At any given point we have about 30 different tea blends in the house. When you can get it, Goji or wolfberries are great in tea. First had that in San Francisco. I love it all.

WOOTea!
 
I've been into buttered and salted chamomile recently. You heard me! Buttered and salted! There's a Tibetan resaraunt around here that has bhodcha, which is buttered and salted tea. It's really good, and even if it sounds weird I'd reccomend you try it. Put some salt in the mug before you poor in the hot water, and as the tea is steeping add a little chuck of butter. I'm gonna go make some.

Drinking chrysanthemum green tea right now - good stuff.
I just drink the sweetened bottled kind; I wonder if there's anything cheaper.

Only drink tea when I go dim sum.
I usually get chrysanthemum also, like Jenov4.


Except when we go to this place near SF, Koi Palace. They have this mixed tea with i don't know what's in it, but it tastes great and have the most amazing fragrant ever.

Yep add me in. I drink Tea, especially when I have exams to keep me up. Plain old black tea, herbal tea and the morninrg/evening teas are too subtle for me.

The best tea evar is a special kind I've only been able to get a friend from germany to send to me. It's called 'Florida-Zauber' and has a wonderful scent of roses.

Green tea is pretty fucking good too.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
I've been drinking tea my whole life. I'm not exotic about it, I prefer a domestic US brand of black tea, Red Rose, to anything else out there. I will branch out with various imported Green tea occasionally and I find that pleasing as well. I can't stomach flavored or fruity teas. I also don't take it with sugar and can't stand it with milk as per the Brits.

I firmly believe one of the worst habits I've developed is replacing tea in the morning with cofee. It's bad for your health.
