Alte Veste Academy Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am on the (coffee) wagon again. :glare: :nopity: I am enjoying Stonewall Kitchen's Cranberry Orange and Tazo Chai. I put a bit of cream in the Chai but I don't do sugar and wish it was a bit sweeter. Does anyone have a Chai they like that is sweeter, maybe one that is heavier on the sweet spices? I seem to remember Bigelow putting out a French Vanilla Chai that was sweeter. Does anyone use/like that? I am open to any and all suggestions. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkins_mama Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I love Oregon Chai. It is sweetened and I mix some good whole milk in with it. yummmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineW Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Do you have a Trader Joes? They have a chai latte mix that comes in a tin that rivals Starbucks. Constant Comfort is also a favorite of mine when fall comes but its probably similar to the orange tea that you are already drinking.

Stacia Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Mighty Leaf Teas I love the Green Tea Tropical & the White Orchard flavors. I've been able to find Mighty Leaf at Whole Foods & in the specialty food sections of stores like TJ Maxx & Marshalls. I also love Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos.

I do *not* need to add any sweetener to this tea. :001_smile: It's sweet by itself. I can usually find it at the grocery store.

They have some nice choices. Thank you. I love Oregon Chai. It is sweetened and I mix some good whole milk in with it. yummmm... Oh, I bet it is delicious but I just can' t do the sugar. Maybe I'll get some for teatime and let the kids have some though. Thanks! Do you have a Trader Joes? They have a chai latte mix that comes in a tin that rivals Starbucks. Constant Comfort is also a favorite of mine when fall comes but its probably similar to the orange tea that you are already drinking. I don't have TJ. I wish I did. Did you mean Constant Comment? I haven't heard of the other. I do like it but I find that it gives me a stomach ache (that and Tazo Awake :confused:) when I drink it first thing in the morning before eating, which is when I like my tea. Mighty Leaf Teas I love the Green Tea Tropical & the White Orchard flavors. I've been able to find Mighty Leaf at Whole Foods & in the specialty food sections of stores like TJ Maxx & Marshalls. I also love Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos. Ooh! I'll have to try the Starbucks Rooibos. I do love Mighty Leaf and those two are my favorite of their flavors. I prefer them iced in the spring and summer though. I got a Mighty Leaf sampler box about 6 months ago and seem to have forgotten which of the fall flavors I liked. I'll have to try to remember. Thanks! OK--went to look. It was orange dulce that I think will be good for Fall/Winter. Thanks for reminding me about ML. I think I'm going to try their Pear Caramel flavor too. Sounds great! Good Earth Original (but not the caffeine free version, it tastes wrong) http://shop.goodearth.com/Original-Teas/c/GoodEarth@OriginalTeas?gclid=COTxj7mK-qsCFYbrKgodZQE-zQ I like my tea sweet, so to most teas I usually add honey.

warneral Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'm a bit of a tea-aholic. Love coffee too but stick to one cup per morning. This is a favorite tea of mine.

KungFuPanda Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am a tea fanatic, but I am unwilling to give up sugar. My go-to tea is Irish Breakfast with milk and sugar, but I'm sure it's too strong to drink straight. TJs chai is amazing, especially for a just-add-water tea. I break my No Instant Ever rule for that stuff. The teas I can drink withoud adding anything are: Green teas, esp oolong or jasmine White teas with fruit. Pomegranate is my favorite. Any fruity herbal Chocolate caramel enchantment chai (Celestial seasonings; I do add milk) Vanilla camomile I also like Tension Tamer with a bit of honey in it, but you may like it straight. I NEVEr would have bought it because the ingredients are weird, but a friend gave me some years ago and now I always keep it on hand. It's not tea, but I also enjoy warm apple cider and hot chocolate this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Blue House Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I just finished the last of my Republic of Tea Cinnamon Plum. I love this stuff! I'm usually a coffee drinker but this tea is delicious! I also like their Ginger Peach, Tea of Good Tidings (seasonal) and Comfort and Joy (also seasonal). I believe they are all Black Teas. You can find these at most well-stocked grocery stores and most foodie shops like Williams-Sonoma, Stonewall Kitchen, Sur La Table, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of my kids' favorite teas. You just reminded me to buy some more Sugar Cookie and Candy Cane Lane too. They'll thank you. :D If you like loose teas, you may be interested in a new tea cup - the Aladdin Traveler Mug. It has basket for tea or coffee and it can be lifted up out of the water when you are finished with brewing. I haven't even made any tea in my tea pitchers since I made this purchase. Carolyn That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
