Does anyone really enjoy tea?

[robnix]

Thataboy, it's better for you than coffee. A nice hot mug of tea will start your day right! You get the caffeine buzz too!

I think the thing that draws me to it more and more is that my mouth simply tastes better after a nice cup of tea than most of the coffee you find in the workplace.

I couldnt find any other thread on tea specifically so i started one...

Seriously?!


Yeah, Thai tea is awesome.

[personman]

I like tea. When its iced it absolutely has to be sweet, but hot tea is good either way.
What can I say, I'm from the south.

[UnicycleMonster]

Your mother drinks tea. MAN TEA.

I love hot tea and honey after a day of working out on the property.

You can't prove that!

[ScatterPlot]

Hot tea is HORRIBLE, but the good southern sweet kind is the stuff dreams are made of.

Thai iced tea made with soy milk is good, but I don't drink cow milk. I don't generally care for soy milk, but I love it in the tea. I love the Yogi tea black chai blend. Very good and it's organic to boot. They have a redbush chai that I plan on trying as well.

My roommate's from thailand-hence he gets AWESOME thai tea from some crazy place in chinatown. Earl grey is still my favorite.

herbs

I found that using Herbs (such as mint, Chamomile, Lemongrass) Makes really good tea if you mix it 60/40 herb:neutral tea leaves


neutrals are just almost flavorless tea leaves that add color and body to the herbs, some things like mint you can do it without it but it tastes a little watered down.

you usually have to go to health shops to get it but it is well worth it if you have a nice herb garden.

Mint-is very focusing and i often drink it the night before a game (its also energizing)
Chamomile -SLEEP!
Lemon-energizing

its all good stuff so try it, but know all the properties of the herbs first so you dont kill yourself.

I grew up drinking iced tea by the pitcher. Now it's all about the twinings. Lady Grey is my current favorite tea.

[Bear_Claw]

My background is english so every nigth we have tea in my house (damned if i know witch one).

But im sorry to say i take ALOT more coffee each day than tea. Not so mutch i like coffee better but its got a better KICK to it and its more easily available.

Perhaps you are not familiar with southern sweet tea. It is super saturated (a technical chemistry term that refers to raising the temperature of a liquid to get a higher saturation point, with some things the saturated particle will stay in there) with sugar. Literally it has more sugar in it than you could get by mixing it in at the cold temperature if it is prepared right. There is no way that is better for you than anything.

But yeh, normally tea is better for you than many other drinks (besides water). I drink a couple green teas (normally Sobe) every day.

[Altimas]

Yeah down here in Alabama Sweet Tea seconds as a good Syrup for Pancakes!!

[RapidTransit]

I drink green tea as much as I can, I don't drink stuff from the bottle the stuff in there rots your teeth more than the phospherus in coke.

I usually like green with orange or lemon.

You realize of course, that after picking on Southern Sweet Tea, you picked a product that has High Fructose Corn Syrup as it's second listed ingredient. ;-)

Mmmm, tea. I really don't know any names of the teas I drink though. At least I don't know them in english. I perfer chinese teas to english, subtle taste is better than power.
