What's Your Go-To Tea?

[Math Jeans]

Ever since I took that trip to China, I have become completely addicted to tea.

What is everyone's favorite type of tea?

I (personally) enjoy: White tea, types of green tea, Oolong tea, Puer tea, Rose tea, Jasmin tea, Chinese Red tea, English breakfast tea, and Earl grey.

Because I am indecisive like that.

I love tea, there is only one teahouse in my city that I have found that sells tea leaves though which is unfortunate, everywhere else just seems to have bags. Right now I have 3 different green teas from them, one I don't think I really like as it tastes very smoky. I also have some black teas from them - english breakfast, earl grey and one called Russian blend that I really enjoy. I have a sampler of rooibois (sp?) from them I haven't tried yet, and would like to try oolong and white tea soon.

and would like to try oolong and white tea soon.

Oolong tea tends to have a unique taste, and almost everyone that I've given it to states that they had tasted it before, however, they know that they hadn't. It's somewhat weird, however, it is a favorite of many of my friends.

White tea is essentially baby tea leaves. It is a very light tea so you shouldn't expect it to change the color of the water very much at all. I find it to have a very relaxing mood to it.

I love tea also. I can't drink coffee, because I always feel like it gives me an anxiety attack instead of the so-called extra energy it is supposed to. I love the smell of coffee more though.


For me, it is Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea all the way. Add milk and sugar and it is wonderful.

Otherwise, I'm a Lady Grey man. Earl Grey tastes like Earl Grey's sweat socks if you ask me. The lady is totally more refined.

I'd take an Irish Coffee. Or maybe a Long Island Iced Tea. Can you add alcohol to tea?

No, I don't think so. Bailey's is strictly for coffee.

Thai tea


This ridiculous tea my roommate brought back from China called "xian shuan" I believe. It was an awesome green (or oolong) that was light and had a slight sweet flavor, almost like honey.

Darjeeling tea

A lot of white teas.

So far my favorites are green teas, and Bigelow makes one called Pomegranate Pizazz that is great with some milk and sugar...
