Tea

[Captain Jordan]

I'm drinking a cup of Ginger Peach tea from Whole Foods (independent, not the national chain) right now.

[Elsa]

i really want tea with ginger now
i'm going to have to go to my usual tea shop tomorrow

I've largely given up tea, but I have a bunch of it stashed away. I did deconstruct how to make a proper chai or thai iced tea with the condensed milk, mostly from working Indian weddings and so forth.

Also, South African rooibos is interesting if you ever get a chance to try it. There's no caffeine, but it's a very interesting taste.

i've been into tea every since i was a little kid.
i drink tea for breakfast, pick through several ones all day, & enjoy mint tea before bed.

i'm so pathetically addicted, especially since i've started using honey instead of sugar.
cuz apparently, sugar is a toxic substance.

Any kind of peach tea and I'll drink it, but I've always been tad worried to branch out to other flavors.

[Mogtaki]

I only really drink types of green tea, sometimes other herbal teas if there's nothing else.

I don't take caffeine, but I can enjoy the tiniest of caffeine that's found in green tea without my stomach twisting in protest. I love all types of green tea, all except ones that has a citrus flavour to it because that's just nasty.

I've yet to find hydrangea tea, though, despite looking everywhere to try it.

Ever since I found out green tea is one of the best sources of antioxidants, I've been drinking it like it's the elixir of life. :/

[Lala Kitty]

ahhhh, i love green tea.

& peach.
& blue cornflower.
& earl grey/lady grey.

when you get tired of tea, you get tired of life.

i can make that even easier on you.
a pinch of powered ginger, some lemon juice, as much honey as you want, & hot water.

i call it lemon drop herbal tea, & use it for colds & sinuses.

[Kage]

Well, Elsa, what flavour profiles do you like? Bitter, sweet, mellow, tart, earthy, smokey... there are many to choose from.

[Lala Kitty]

my first tea, besides traditional black, was Chai.

if you prefer a deeper taste, go for regular.
if you prefer sweet, go for vanilla chai.~

I am aware of this. I am a full on tea fiend. Just shout suggestions at me.

A good beginner tea is Hibiscus or Chamomile. They're both naturally sort of sweet in both taste and smell, so you don't even have to sweeten them (I never really sweeten my teas with anything except stevia.)

There's many herbal and non-herbal (non-herbal just means it actually comes from the tea tree - Camellia sinensis) teas. Most of these are mild flavors which are a good place to start out in. Mild flavors include: jasmine, white, green, oolong, rooibos, blue lotus (hard to find), blueberry, and vanilla.

There's also some more intense flavors like mint, ginger, cinnamon, chicory, or licorice.

If you like spicy, you will LOVE ginger tea. If you have any digestive/stomach issues, you should also try ginger tea.

I recently got back from a two week music tour of China, where I got to attend a tea ceremony in Xi'an. I personally can't stand the taste of tea so I mainly suffered through it while watching my friends have a teagasm, but there was this one fruit tea they served that was amazing. I guess in addition to the usual tea leaves you use dried fruit, or something? I don't know anything about it, but it was so good.

I'm sorry.

Hibiscus is pretty wonderful, but 'tis been a while since I evaluated what my favorite flavors all around are but I tend to keep revisiting orange-related stuff.
