What is your favourite tea?

[GDub]

I'm mostly a coffee drinker, but I do have a cup of green or white tea every workday morning during my commute. And, because my wife's sister has a tea shop in Southern Germany, we get LOTS of different teas. Here are three of my faves:

Margaret's Hope --Darjeeling

Gunpowder --green

White silver needle --white

For teas without caffeine I highly recommend rooibos. My fave is rooibos orange (just rooibos plus dried orange peel--good stuff!)

I don't know where my wife's sister gets her teas, but I do know that we've had a hard time finding the equivalent in quality here in the States.

A taste acquired from an "auld friend", Alexander McKeag, and intrestingly enough, I first found out in the Bighorns of Wyoming!

Lapsang Souchong!

Merry Christmas to Each of You!!!


Actually... Any tea served in the early morning to my favourite "bird", a couple hours later when we've rolled out of bed, to be followed by a glass of champagne and a finely crafted omelet!

Loose blacks from Java or Vietnam. Upton Tea Importers carries them (As well as a staggering array of every other kind you can imagine).

[Lachlan09]

Tea always without milk or sugar.

Orange Pekoe

Earl Grey

Lapsang Suchong (the "Islay malt" of tea)

Japanese green tea (not the tea ceremony green tea - too bitter)

Chrysanthemum tea (the Chinese version with the flower head stuffed in it).

I wake up to Barry's Irish Breakfast, followed by Scottish Breakfast for morning tea near where I work. Earl Gray at noon, and Brittish Tea Time for afternoon tea. Late tea usually is served with Lyons Gold.
All without any additives.

I love coffee and used to consume quantities of which Steve Ashton could not come close. After a digestive system malfunction, the Doctor has recommended only tea for me.

I was lucky to find uptontea.com here in Massachusetts. I get a box of different teas from them several times a year and drink it all day long. I like Assam teas - ctc, ftgop. Also a China black gunpowder and pu urh. There is a nice black Kenya ftgop. Tetley English Blend in the round bags finally is in the markets here. Closest thing to Canadian Tetley. Great flavorful stuff. I do recomment Upton highly.

Because of huge intakes and heartburn I have begun de-caffinating it myself using the procedure in their catalog.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and please do stop round for a cuppa.
