What's your favs?

I find myself drinking more hot tea lately. Twinning's Earl Grey is my current go to, but I want to expand my tastes to other brands and blends. Suggestions most appreciated

RockyMountainBriar · July 2022

Bigelow “English Breakfast”, “English Teatime”, and “Darjeeling”.

DSturg369 · July 2022

Any preferred brands over others??

Zouave · July 2022

I am a PG Tips tea guy. Love that brand

I love tea. I have been drinking my 10 O'clock tea every evening for the last 20 years and it's fabulous. Here are some of my favorites.

Special Relaxing (China)
Yellow & Blue
Tower of London

Black Cask Bourbon
Bohemian Breakfast
Chamomile (of course)

I have Pineapple Weed (Wild Chamomile) growing in my gravel driveways. I pick some occasionally and make tea with it. I dried some in my food dehydrator and drop a few blossoms in my Lipton Black Tea, which I should have listed previously as my favorite tea. I like my tea as black and deeply brewed as possible without the tannins getting in the way. Which is about four minutes with water just off the boil (in my neck of the woods, er…high mountain prairie).

Been drinking Celestial Seasonings Berry mixtures for years. Love them!!

I get all my tea from Adagio.com ; they sell the best on the market.

I enjoy the Charleston Tea Garden teas. I am drinking the Peachy Peach Tea as we speak.

RockyMountainBriar · August 2022

I love peach, not sure as a hot tea, but it sounds like it would make awesome iced tea.

DSturg369 · August 2022

I've tried some of the fruity varieties, but just can't find one I like. I will definitely look into the peach flavors.
I have some oolong and Darjeeling ordered... Have heard good things about both.

Londy3 · August 2022

I'm a fan of Harney & Sons tea. Really good!

@RockyMountainBriar

Iced peach sweet tea is delicious.

jacobramsey74 · August 2022

@DSturg369

I will have to try those sometime.

It's that time of the year when pumpkin spice tea starts making the rounds.

DSturg369 · October 2022

Love pumpkin pie this time of year, but cannot stand anything pumpkin spice related otherwise. Was really into it the first year it got popular and then just got sick of it.

DSturg369 · October 2022

I've been drinking Darjeeling nearly every day, and oolong every couple of days. Both are great hot and iced with honey. Also have some happy belly tea which really does work.

Londy3 · October 2022

We love tea here as well. We have so many teas I don't know where to begin on the subject.

vtgrad2003 · October 2022

There's a talk radio guy here in the Triad of NC (Greensboro area) called KC O'Dea...he's always ranting about how the downfall of American civilization is actually caused by Pumpkin Spice flavoring, LOL.

Londy3 · October 2022

@vtgrad2003
Ha! I love KC O'dea, I listen to him every morning. I kinda agree about the whole pumpkin spice thing -way over it

PappyJoe · October 2022

@vtgrad2003 @Londy3

KC O'Dea is right. Pumpkin Spice flavoring is overdone... and it's the lifeblood of elitist left wingers who spend their money on it instead of giving the money to the poor they claim to support.

vtgrad2003 · October 2022

@PappyJoe

Don't hold back, now, tell us how you really feel about pumpkin spice

PappyJoe · October 2022

I hate to admit it, but I found a way to make pumpkin spice coffee creamer drinkable.
Black coffee, two pumpkin spice creamer cups and three ounces of whiskey.

RockyMountainBriar · October 2022

I can’t take the artificial sweeteners in those flavored creamers😝. I’d just toss them in the circular file.

DSturg369 · October 2022

I use just a splash of almond milk. Was using half and half but found the almond milk taste better. YMMV

PappyJoe · October 2022

@RockyMountainBriar
I actually drink me coffee black most of the time. Except during November and December when I will add rum and eggnog to my cup.

addamsruspipe · October 2022

My go to tea is Twinning's loose leaf English Breakfast. And when I have the time I make a Ethiopian blend. 😀

Londy3 · October 2022

Artificial anything makes me gag.
Kinda like carrying a plastic gun verses real manly stainless steel.

RockyMountainBriar · October 2022

@Londy3
My gun is neither plastic nor SS, but I do have some weapons that contain both😬
Oorah!

Londy3 · October 2022

@RockyMountainBriar
👍

DSturg369 · November 2022

Made a half pot of Prince of Peace oolong, added a splash of almond milk and a dash of honey... Pairing with a MM Legend and some Prince Albert. Awesome.

And speaking about hot teas....
