MomN Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I can't drink coffee anymore so I am looking for good tea recommendations. I don't like fruity flavors but prefer toasted coconut/almondy flavors. (or something similar) I am also looking for ways to sweeten the tea without using sugar. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We're big tea drinkers and our favorites are from The Republic of Tea. https://www.republicoftea.com They have lots of coconut and almond flavors. The vanilla almond black tea is great. https://www.republicoftea.com/vanilla-almond-black-tea/p/v00582/ I drink tea unsweetened, so I'm no help on sweetener ideas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Following because I love tea and am always looking for new flavors. Sometimes I use milk or honey in it. I mostly drink Stash tea Edited August 31, 2022 by mommyoffive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) My go-to tea bag is Bigelow Toasted Almond Coconut My favorite loose leaf is Octavia Tea Vanilla Coconut I use Now Brand liquid Stevia instead of sugar and add a splash of heavy cream too Edited August 31, 2022 by Jann in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favorite of the ones I’ve tried. https://www.republicoftea.com/caramel-vanilla-cuppa-cake-tea/p/v20143/ My 10 year old and I also love this brand and flavor. If you like mint tea, it’s mint but like you can’t go back to plain mint after this. https://shop.celestialseasonings.com/Mint-Magic-Herbal-Tea/p/CEL-053207&c=CelestialSeasonings@Herbal&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adtype=pla&kw=?gclid=CjwKCAjw6raYBhB7EiwABge5KkCXncRCfqCniELGndEEmsTT_5PCtreY3O6nZoj_VDyszbJyKU5R1BoCx6IQAvD_BwE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth86 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Also, no help on sweetener as I never sweeten hot tea. Now don’t ask me about coffee or iced tea. You’d think if so could drink hot tea plain, I could drink cold tea and coffee plain, but nope they need lots of sugar.

Kanin Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Rooibos is my favorite non-caffeinated tea. It's got an earthy flavor (not fruity) that has heft to it... so it doesn't feel like drinking flavored hot water. If you can have dairy, I like rooibos with half and half. I also add maple syrup sometimes if I'm in the mood for a sweet drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Last winter I drank a lot of Teeccino teas. They have coconut flavors and nutty flavors. I really like the Dandelion Caramel Nut Roast with some stevia (I use Truvia) and a splash of cream. Edited to add that they're also great with oatmilk creamers. However, I think they're trying for a coffee vibe, and perhaps that wouldn't work for you. I don't drink coffee and am not really interested in a perfect coffee substitute, so I enjoy Teeccino just for fun, different flavors. At Christmas they had a Candy Cane flavor that was amazing. Overall their teas have a lot of ... "body" to them. They don't seem as thin as most teas. Maybe it's the chicory.

MercyA Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The only tea I enjoy without any sweetener or creamer is Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat. It's great for colds and flu, but I just love the flavor. It tastes like licorice. All herbal, no other added ingredients. Yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarita Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I've really enjoyed a small tea shop near me (but they ship) called Steepers. http://www.steepers.net/ Maple Cream is yummy, I don't remember hazelnut or coconut vanilla is good, milk Oolong is yummy, there was a chocolate one from my friends house that I also liked, and a watermelon one. In general look for full leaf teas, meaning when you immerse it in hot water you can see a entire leaf unfurl (roobios, herbal and matcha are different so full leaf may not apply, matcha comes in powder form). I rarely sweeten a really good tea (an Earl Grey/black tea is my exception), it takes away from the tea flavors. Anything that comes in a pouch I'll sweeten, I just pour in the sugar and cream. My diabetic friend will use Stevia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Twining English Breakfast decaff if you need decaffeinated. For regular tea I buy from a local traditional tea merchant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Oolong tea has caffeine and many health benefits. I add almond milk to mine. Califia Farms almond coconut is my favorite. It’s good hot or cold. I add stevia (liquid drops or pure stevia powder ) for sweetener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Dd drinks a lot of tea and loves this brand, https://www.harney.com/collections/bag-of-50-sachets. I order these teas that come in tin cans from iHerb. She also likes Republic of Tea, the lavender one, and I usually buy them at the local store. I’ve never thought of looking up their website and directly ordering from them. So many choices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I drink a ton of tea. My daily tea is Newman’s Own Organic black tea, mainly because I can buy it by the case. I am in no way affiliated with this local business, but I love their lavender tea. I didn’t think I would like lavender as I don’t like floral scents or flavors, but I had it at their cafe and was hooked. https://www.lavenderridgefarms.com/collections/culinary-cooking/products/tea-lavender-house-blend-organic My cousin sent me an advent tea assortment from this tea shop several years ago, which was so much fun. I normally don’t care for almond flavoring, but I do remember really liking the one they included in the advent. https://qptea.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
