Slartibartfast Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I like most tea except the honeybush kinds. I cant get into them. I drink tons of tea, I am not allowing myself to buy more unless I drink all the tea I have first. my cabinet is getting a lot more spacey. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesmere Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Also, this board is extremely oversexed. Seriously. I don't even want to know (ok, that's a lie, I am curious) how tea got to be equated with conjugal relations. :lol: And to answer your question with a straight face, peppermint is extremely easy to grow in a container and makes a lovely tea. I think someone mentioned that, but I was too busy laughing to quote and agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 So, what you're saying is I have actually started a smutty thread? Geez, even when I am trying to behave myself, I still end up mud wrestling. :huh: So I will now ask the class to please not send me pictures of your favorite teas. Thank you. :lol::lol::lol: I am about to choke on my potato chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My favorite is lipton decaf with some honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon in TN Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 this could be a dangerous thread.... my thoughts exactly. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 In the evenings during the winter, I'm partial to a cup of Lapsang Souchong. It's a smoked tea, so it tastes like a very strong black tea and smells like a campfire. Lovely! :iagree: Lapsang Souchong is definitely my favorite. I grew up in Minnesota, so I think it has something to do with it tasting like a woodstove smells, and me equating that with my childhood. It's definitely not for everyone, though. My dh thinks it smells like smoked fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 ETA: Hmmmm...If tea is code for certain relations between two people, could hot water be code for going solo? :D Bwahahahaha!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 ? And yes, we are all very amused about the tied-up-in-knots comment. I suppose the only tea that could help me that area is only sold in specialty shops. Also, this board is extremely oversexed. Seriously. I don't even want to know (ok, that's a lie, I am curious) how tea got to be equated with conjugal relations. All I can say is, between kilts, tea, looooong Weiner threads, the obsession with everyone has with staying HOME all day long, and the 80 bajillion kids that are born to all the members here, how does this board even stay on the civilized side of PG-13?? Overseer SWB should change her title to Mistress SWB. *snort* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm not a huge fan of flavored teas. Warm tea just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather drink cocoa. I do love Lipton decaf, lightly sweetened, iced tea. Lemon or mint optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I clicked on this thread thinking I'd get ideas for tonight. My bad. No capital A at the end. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy at Home Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm just starting to experiment in the tea arena, but have found that a slice of fresh ginger in my tea (usually some kind of green tea) gives it a nice zip and is supposed to be great for digestion.

Tap Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I love Mightyleaf Teas. The website does a great job of describing them, and reading people's personal comments is very helpful. You can buy them at some grocers. Safeway carries them here, but we live in a big coffee/tea area. At the website they sell boxes of mixed sampler teas and that was how I found some of my favorites. I have about 20 different teas so it is hard to say what is my fave. I drink hot Earl Grey or Breakfast tea as a sub for coffee. I like African Necter in the evening. In between I drink Jasmine, plain green, black, white, vanilla bean, citrus, and a host of others. At work I will start my day with a large 20 oz Earl Grey and then part way through the day, pour the remaining tea over ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered what this tastes like but have never seen it at the stores. I'd really like to try it now! I don't know? what's Centennial? But I think you might like Lapsang! I usually order it online. Most tea companies have a version; I like the one from Republic of Tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I buy lapsang from Mountain Rose Herbs. Yum - campfire in a cup ! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I also love rooibos teas and they are very healthy, loaded with antioxidants. :iagree::iagree:This. Rooibos is great hot, with or without sugar and milk, and it's great cold over ice (which is how I am drinking it right now!). I love the stuff!

Gosh, I feel old. Thank you for the brand suggestion - I was looking at some of the links in this thread and wasn't sure what would be a good brand to try!

Thank you for the brand suggestion - I was looking at some of the links in this thread and wasn't sure what would be a good brand to try! Oh dear, I'm sorry! I have a friend who's always telling me that I make her feel old . . . but now her little girl who I used to rock as a baby is a teenager and so now it's my friend's daughter's who's making me feel old . . . anyway, I feel your pain! But at least I know who Michener is, does that help? ;) Hope you like the tea! It's a very strong flavor, but if it's to your taste, there's nothing better.
