What is your favorite brand/flavor of tea???








Have you guys ever had blooming tea? We gave my mom a set for Christmas and I think it's the coolest thing in the whole world:


It starts out looking like this:





and then you get a teapot full of hot water, and watch the ball "grow" into a flower!

Now tell me some good tea brands!

I bought some blooming tea when I was in Shanghai last year. It looks wonderful and is just jasmine tea (so if you like that, you can drink it too). My daughter loves it.


I like Earl grey, apricot white tea, peppermint stick (celestial seasonings only at Christmas time), Oregon Chai eggnog chai, tazo chai, and a variety of herbal teas a friend puts together locally.

I have been lusting after the blooming tea things but wonder wha tthey taste like?


My favorites are Darjeeling (but not bought in this country in packets or bags it doesn't taste at all like the real thing!) lapsang souchong (which I have not had in years), regular black oolong tea, Earl Grey, Consant Comment, home-made chai (and please don't say Chai tea because chai means tea so you just said tea tea), plain old Lipton black tea in tea bags, and any kind of mint tea. I like tea


I know we're all meant to be drinking green tea but I don't really like the taste of it cold so I have to drink the flavored versions.

That is so funny. Now I am going to laugh at all the people saying chai tea who are really saying tea tea from now on.


I like green tea usually flavored and I love white tea as well. I love any citrus flavored tea (orange is my fave) and I like lemon and honey in my tea. I never have enjoyed the english milk in your tea thing. Doesn't work for me.


I love the smell of chai immensely. I think it is the cardamom I smell.
