MelanieM Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 What a fun gift idea! How about this book with a tea ball and loose leaf for some of the recipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This is a strong black tea. It is best to drink it with cream/milk and definitely WITH food because it is a bit acidic-- but good! Kericho Gold .. Amazon.com has it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Any ideas on what I should get? Links would be appreciated! :001_smile: Ok, serious reply. A well stocked grocery store may be all you need. My grocery store carries Irish breakfast tea, chai, Earl Grey, oolong, and African redbush. That's quite a selection right there for someone who is experimenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Rooibos is from Africa (aka African Red Tea). I think it is mostly from South Africa specifically? It is a family fav. Naturally decaf, filled with antioxidants. TJs had an amazing one at one time (orange rooibos) but they no longer carry that particular one. I think they may have another rooibos though (maybe rooibos chai?). My "tea lady" (local person I buy from) pronounces it like "roy bus."

Lucy in Australia Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Russian Caravan tea is one of my favourites. It has quite a strong smoky flavour, so not everyone cup of tea :lol::D:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Turkish apple (elma) tea is Çok Güzel (very beautiful) and delicious! I highly recommend it! Also, just Turkish chai is fabulous. It's all about the process, too. A double tea kettle and learning to make tea like the Turks is a great way to enjoy tea even more than you do already. I have developed a whole new appreciation for tea since I learned how to make it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 A good oolong, like Tung Ting A Darjeeling first tips An Assam Puh Er (which I love) A white tea and, just for the name, the rather astringent Iron Goddess of Mercy. Lapsang Souchong Those are some of the "I'm glad I didn't miss" teas. Man, I love tea, but it makes me desperately constipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXMomof4 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have gotten several teas from The Cultured Cup . They are very helpful - if you wanted to call and talk to someone. I don't know much, but my favorite is the Prince Igor. It's a Russian Earl Grey. Their coffees are amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Lynn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Don't forget yerba mate teas. It is not made from the same type of leaf and is from South America. It has no caffeine, but it does have another similar stimulant. We get some interesting blends locally. They call their blends, brain brews and have yerba mate and dark chocolate in each of them as their base. They have a nice, full, pleasant flavor. It can be rebrewed a few times and still taste good, so it looks like it cost more, but you get quite a few cups out of it. http://www.teapots4u.com/site/625008/product/The%20Happy%20Box_ I linked to their brain brews, but you can look around the site for other mixes, too.

lisabees Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'll bet he does :D What a bunch of bad girls we have on this board! I didn't even think about that kind of tea. But, then agin, I was talking about my son! :D Now, I am sure ds would love to experience all kinds of tea. But, for now, we will stick with the drinking kind. When he is in college next year he will likely experience the other kinds. Sigh. So.... For the ladies who kindly responded with tea sites and options, I can't thank you enough! I am sorry you had to be subjected to the dirty minds of The Hive. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I would definitely add Matcha tea. It's powder, not leaf. http://www.englishteastore.com/republic-of-tea-double-green-matcha-teabags.html?lsku=TEATREP1000006487 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Tea isn't grown in that many places, though...maybe some herbal things too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
