What's the best tea you've drank?
 

I'm mainly a white tea drinker but today I had a black currant tea and I must say it's the best tea I had in years.

Thai ice tea

is that that milky stuff?

green tea. im out to dimsum ttyl

For you I would recommend the tea you get at the strip club...

LOL.
I like to drink my tea before I hit the strip club and none of them club know how to serve tea :winkwink:

Recently I've been addicted to Yerba Mate... Warning: You will hate this drink the first time...then you can't go a day without it...

"Yerba Mate (pronounced "yerba mahtay") is a medicinal and cultural drink of ancient origins. Introduced to the world by the Guarani Indians of South America, Mate contains ingredients that help keep its drinkers healthy and energetic."

tea? i heard they are famous in China,but i have not taste yet.do you?

Chineses are big on green tea.

my mother drinks green and white tea....(its a mix of both i guess) ...I however have never tasted it....I personally used to drink this stuff.....man what was the name....lemme go see if i have the box still.....



I do still have some....Yorkshire Gold....Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold....

its stuff you steep up and douche it with a dallop of milk....I never even though it would be good at all with the weird additive until i got this tea and read the box.....needless to say its good....I got addicted to it for a lil while.....

Check it out...

from a company called teavana...the flavor "mate vana"

www.teavana.com

Deliciously smooth blend of toasted Yerba Mate, almond bits, crushed cocoa beans, cactus blossoms, sunflower and cornflower petals. This herbal tea contains matteine, which is a natural stimulant similar to caffeine although without the jitteriness or addictive tendencies.

And yes I drink 3 to 5 cups of mostly white tea per day, but at $1,000+ per kg for white tea, I think i'm gonna be dring more and more black tees which are more than 100 time cheaper and currant tea taste damn goo too.

Green tea? how about that?

Yorkshire Gold is too blended for my blood.

Traditional Medicinals: Earl Black organic, with bergamot.

Excellent!

yep

Green tea in China. I don't know the name of that tea but it tasted so good.

Darjeeling first flush is great
also
gunpowder green, oolong, earl grey for breakfast, ceylon with lemon
white's ok for a bit of cleaning :)

Do you make them from scratch or use pre-mix preparation?

I drink green tea... I get cheap bulk boxes from the oriental markets... good shit. I don't like the stuff at the grocery stores.

Texas tea

It was some Chinese herbal tea..actually was very good

I've never made one. I order them, usually when I eat at a thai restaurant.

I'm not sure if there's even any tea in a Texas tea! :winkwink:

I got an excellent loose-leaf Rooibos called Creme Caramel. All natural ingredients, and soooo good.

I'm gonna leave that one alone (too easy) :winkwink: :1orglaugh

Rooibos creamy caramel tea is great with sugar and iced. good stuff. :thumbsup

Right now for me it's oolong tea

Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed, poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day, shoot'n at some food, up from the ground come bubble ooze.

Texas Tea! Black Gold! :thumbsup

Does mushroom tea count?

You mean with dried magic mushrooms?

Yeah, that's the one. :winkwink:

Oh heck yes. :)

Wow...did not realize there was this many teas in the world.

I like good old fashioned, down home southern Iced Sweet Tea (hence my screen name)....and anyone that says that you can add sugar to a glass of iced tea and it be sweet it sadly mistaken. You can only add the sugar while the tea is still boiling and before you add the water. You must add PLENTY of sugar.....just keep pouring it until you think you have poured too much and you should be almost there. :)

My Mother's Tea was so sweet we always called it CAVI-TEA :)

How do you boil tea if you don't add water?

Snapple Very Cherry Tea.

I couldn't find it this past summer, so I'm not sure it's something they're making anymore.

Sorry....I can see where that made no sense ;)

When you make Southern Sweet Tea you boil the tea bags in about a quart of water...add Sugar....then pour that into a gallon pitcher of water and stir.

Does that make more sense?

The best stuff I think I've had was a combination of tea and coffee.. it was a Chai Mocha, really good stuff...

It makes more sense now :winkwink:
My ex use to make something similar but with cheap family pack tea bags and had to add a pinch of backing soda to remove the bitterness from them teas.

Interesting. I didn't know people could like both tea and coffee. I don't drink coffee myself.

Actually, Alex, my mother adds just a pinch of baking soda to hers, as well. Sounds like your ex may have been a red neck down deep inside :winkwink:

i love vanilla-coconut tea from elephant. That is one nice smelling and tasting tea. I always buy a lot of that in france.

Long Island Ice Tea

I like chai green tea

i need some sleepy time tea right now /

Herbs of London. I believe you can get it at Costco for about $6-$10.

Sorry I cant help but everytime i see your name i feel obliged to make a smart-ass remark about strippers. It just got ingrained in my brain what you said about eating lunch at the strip club and other stuff you said as well, i just really can't help it, everytime i see you here i feel like i have to say something...
