Default Tea

Any tea enthusiasts here? I'm discovering a love for hot cups of tea in the morning and I have no idea what the best kinds of tea are. So help me out! What's good?

well... I don't know what the BEST kinds of tea are... but I ahve found an AWESOME tea maker on etsy.

Teaman hand blended teas in both teabags and loose leaf by teaman

I ordered from him for my mom moms birthday. she LOVES flavored teas and drinks one every night before bed and even my step dad has taken to the teas from this person as well. He has all different kinds of green and black teas and they are all natural

I'm a big hot tea drinker as well so I'm curious about what kind of responses you get.

However, my favorite iced tea is white tea! Love it!

Everything you need to know to buy knowledgeably and the best teas available. You can buy sample sizes, too.

I usually have a hot cup of chai in the morning in place of coffee. Complete with cream and sugar.

We are huge tea enthusiasts But I think it depends on what you like.

I need to severely limit my caffeine intake which drastically limits my options. Mostly I drink greens and chamomiles. My mom used to put warm chamomile tea in my baby bottle. My current favorite is celestial seasoning's honey vanilla chamomile. Trader joe's blueberry green tea is also unbelievable. Lipton makes one called Ginger Twist which is excellent as well. Often when we go out to eat I order Jasmine Green Tea, though I don't think I've ever bought it.

If you like black tea, Indian Spice with cardamom is good. I really like teas made with rooibos. Especially if it's an orange-rooibos blend. I know a couple of people who don't like rooibos, though. Kombucha is also awesome.

I'm a bit of a tea weirdo....

one thing I will point out though, if you want a cup of REALLY good tea. Get the loose leaf tea. Tea bags are the "left over" pieces of tea. So the really nice flavorfull leaves, are going to be the kinds made from loose leaf... (this is not to say someone on like etsy or something doesn't make their own "bags" with loose leaf tea... but pretty much anything in a store sold in a bag is gunna be pretty yucky...

For a while, I actually used to carry around my own tea... but it got annoying... so I learned how to ignore the bitter taste of lipton(YUCK!!!).
