I drink a lot of sweet tea from Chick-fil-A.

 

whats the purpose of these teas? i would love to start someday! is there teas for an active lifestyle or a good night sleep??? i would love to quit these energetic carbonated drinks..

 

chrysanthemum, to cleanse the body

 

Tazo Zen, and Green Ginger are my everyday teas.

 

To slake your thirst.

 

I think I drink about 2.5 gallons of tea a week at home. The shit is tasty, I even put it in my expresso maker sometimes just so I can get all that sweet nectar out of that little bag.
I don't get crazy with flavored teas, I stay pretty basic, I like the green, black, and earl grey. Some times I will get crazy and try something else.

 

www.itoen.com. thats what I get from the vending machines here in Okinawa its really good. Also there is a good one from coke a cola of all people here. It think its called Marocha Chaba no Ko good stuff. The apple teas and milk teas here are really great too!

 

hey quick question...i heard u r supposed to take out the tea bag after a few minutes in the water. Ive always just left it in there...does it really matter?????

 

I drink a lot of green tea. Something to try. Matcha -> a green tea powder, The best stuff is made in Japan. It will take a bit of trial and error to get it right. I put way to much in the first half a dozen times.
This is the brand I use.


Also a big fan of black tea from China. Pu-erh cake tea. Cost a lot so only drink it a few times a year.

 

just got back from boulder, co. i had a very tea infused vacation. it started here



at the celestial seasonings tea factory. the india spice is very good. we went into the mint room where they house all their pepper mint and spear mint. it was very intense. they gave a short tour, unlimitied free samples, and some other cool stuff.

next, we went to the boulder dushanbe tea house. this is of historical significance due to its assembly in tibet yada yada yada. link provided for those that want

there i had the "russian caravan" and some japanese cherry tea with a chocolate ginger cake with a rose pedal garnish. yummy. anyway, both great places to go. the tea house is very romantic and has a great atmosphere. they do a kick ass sunday breakfast, formal afternoon teas, and other stuff

as for the steeping...tea bag should come out after around 3 minutes i believe
