Black Owl Posted January 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2011 Since I was introduced to the Frech Press mug last year at Cody (Thanks Irv) I have returned to drinking Tea rather than coffee. SO, was wondering how many other tea drinkers we have here. And if anyone has a recommendation for specialty teas that they enjoy. I recently came across a Moroccan Mint that is really enjoyable.

mini-muffin Posted January 22, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 22, 2011 I drink tea, love Twinnings. I have tried some different teas, but my particular favorites are the black teas. Like my tea strong, never liked the green teas too weak for me. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted January 22, 2011 We have a local store that sells bulk teas. Have been tempted to try the Pomogrante Green, but as I really don't care for pomogrants, have been hesitant to try it. Another favorite of mine is English Breakfast...

Earl grey, Black tea as well. usually just to wind down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted January 22, 2011 Just checked the site you recommended. All I can say is WOW. Pricey. $4.58 oz. Our store here sells the Cameron bulk tea at $1.29 oz. They do have some very interesting blends though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moped Posted January 22, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 22, 2011 I enjoy tea and drink a brand called Hedley's which is a ceylon tea that comes in many flavors, orange spice, lemon, Earl gray, etc. Want to have a party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted January 22, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 22, 2011 Yes, I enjoy a good cup of tea now and then but normally have coffee in the AM. I enjoy herbal teas as they do not have caffene and are a nice relaxing evening drink. I also like green tea for the health benefits... Red Zinger Mandrin Orange Sleepytime peppermint to name a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe Posted January 22, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 22, 2011 I like Red Rose tea straight. Easy to make on trips, and, less fattening than coffee As I can't drink coffee without milk or cream. Twinnings French Vanilla is my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hig4s Posted January 22, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 22, 2011 Since I was introduced to the Frech Press mug last year at Cody (Thanks Irv) I have returned to drinking Tea rather than coffee. SO, was wondering how many other tea drinkers we have here. And if anyone has a recommendation for specialty teas that they enjoy. I recently came across a Moroccan Mint that is really enjoyable. I have never drank coffee, and over the last two years have given up all carbonated beverages, so I drink a lot of tea, mostly Iced tea.. I use a french press to make Ice tea by the picture and use all decaffeinated teas.. I usually use two or three bags Luzianne, two bags Celestial flavored tea, and one of the Lipton pyramid bag teas.. My favorite is with Celestial Blueberry, and Lipton Blueberry/Pomegranate. I heat the water in my tea pot, (it fills the french press about a time and a half) let it steep for about 5 minutes and poor into a picture half filled with ice and then add about 8 to 10oz of sugar water. Mary makes sugar water and keeps jugs of it in the fridge just so we canmake sweet tea with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddlebum Posted January 22, 2011 Share #13 Posted January 22, 2011 I love drinking tea. I enjoy all types speacially loose leaf tea as the fishman mentioned. I always drink tea black sweetened with honey. I dont use sugar becasue 1st I find although sugar is sweet it also tends to make tea a bit bitter were honey does not. 2nd I found out years ago that my constant headaches went away when I stopped using sugar and used Honey instead. I also have wild mint growing in my back yard which I dry and put in jars for mint tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you tea drinkers, if you have not experienced the pleasure of a cupa made with loose tea, you are in for a delightful surprise. And, depending on your supplier, the loose tea is acutally cheaper than tea in them little bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a french press I used to use for coffee, but have cut back on my coffee and use a filter now when I do make fresh coffee. So, The french press is available...

Steel Horse Cowboy Posted January 23, 2011 Share #20 Posted January 23, 2011 On the rocks with a shot of lemon..... Yep, thats the way I like it. Usually drink about 1/2 to 1 gallon a day. C.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted January 23, 2011 Share #21 Posted January 23, 2011 Used to drink coffee ALL the time (a pot by 11:00 AM as a start) Now, not so much, but when I do, I prefer the smoothness of 100% Arabica. (and don't talk to me about Luzianne dark roast columbian w/chickory or those overpriced Starbuck things that take 20 words to order......in either case, if a stir stick stands up in the cup on it's own, I ain't drinkin' it!) RE: teas....if iced, I prefer Luzianne bag tea (I believe it's orange pekoe and pekoe cut black). If hot, I really like Twinnings Earl Grey.....seriously good tea! Very aromatic, soothing, excellent flavor....mm....mmm...mmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardbog Posted January 23, 2011 Share #22 Posted January 23, 2011 Another tea junky here. I mostly drink Japanese Organic Matcha Tea. (Russ check out this one if they have in your local store). This is hand picked green tea leaf at pick of mature and fine grounded in to powder. And yes Charlie this is tea you don't need to make line and snore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drkngas Posted January 23, 2011 Share #23 Posted January 23, 2011 My favorite drink: Plain ole iced tea with no fruit, honey or spices but with enough sugar added to make it qualify as hummingbird food. Southern style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let you know if I can't find it and maybe get you to send me a small sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
