Tea?

[Saje]

Nikki, (and anyone who really likes tea) go online to www.uptontea.com. You can learn all about what you are buying when you buy tea, how to make it properly and they have wonderful descriptions of all the teas.

I got a variety pack of fruit teas, a thing of chamomile tea, hmm ,some green tea and just regular tea. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the link, Renee.

 

[Renee750il]

One of these days I hope to go back to ordering my tea from them . . . Grocery store tea is kind of the equivalent of grocery store pet food

 

[Buddy'sParents]

It's only what I could get, lol... it'll have to do for now.

 

[Renee750il]

Oh, I'm drinking the grocery store swill too right now I miss my REAL tea . . . in my favorite mugs . . . piled up in the middle of my featherbeds and pillows with the critters and a book . . .

 

[Buddy'sParents]

oo0oo this cherry one is darn good! *licks lips and mug*

Celon tea has the same amount of caffeine in it as coffee.

Is there such a thing as a heavy tea? Most of the tea I've ever drunk was real light on flavor and it tasted more like flavored water than tea. Really weak. Tis why I don't drink a lot of tea.

I've tried the bags and the powdered kind and nothing seems to work. I've even tried as many as three bags at once and it just seems so transparent in taste. Are there heavier tasting teas out there? Liptons is pretty good. You can tell "hey, I'm drinking tea" and not just 'I think I just tasted a bit of lemon...'


I do, however, like Chai. Chai is freaking awesome. Add a bit of milk in with it and I'll take that over a soda any day.

GO...try the loose leaf, and let it brew longer. YUM!

 

[GlassOnion]

How long? Like 5 minutes? My grandmother always had a jar of dried mint leaves she used (she grew them herself) but unfortunately I can't really grow my own mint plants lol. So where do you get the leaves? Can you buy them in the store as well? (never seen them)

Coming from a nation of Tea drinkers, people look at me funny when I say I can't stand the stuff.

Vile stuff, tastes like ditch water.

I should send you lot some proper english tea though - PG tips, or even better Yorkshire Tea (me being from Yorkshire and all).

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Dizzy, that is how I always viewed it... so nasty! But, at the very least, the cherry one I had yesterday was very tasty!

The secret to tea is a ton of sugar.

 

[Dizzy]

The secret to tea is a ton of sugar.

Don't let hardcore tea drinkers hear you say that!! You be lynched!

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Tea drinkers don't put sugar in their tea? That's nonsense.... I put some equal or sweet n low in mine.... it's necessary!

 

[casablanca1]

Oh, bah. I come from 'take tea, add sugar, talk for 6 hours' Irish tradition, not the 'the delicate essence of the leaf has a slight whatever' pseudo-Asian thing. Even though I watched coffee being made into a lifestyle, I can't believe we've made tea pretentious.

 

[puppydog]

That is not nonsense. It is the correct english way to drink tea.

 

[Dizzy]

I was going to say - you are talking to a person from a nation BUILT on tea drinking - it has ALWAYS been pretentious - built on ruling other nations and slavery!

The upper classes sipping their tea, in the shade of a weeping willow, or sitting on their balcony watching the workers pick only the finest tips from the tea leaves - I can't think of anything MORE pretentious!!!

 

[smkie]

there is nothing in this universe easier to grow then mint. THere are about a zillion different kinds too, u could grow it on a pot on a deck if you wanted.

TEa was also used with a lump of rock salt some countries.yummm
