I love Tazo's Green tea and it has mint in it as well. I only put a little bit of splenda in it and it's just awesome
Tazo Zen, and Green Ginger are my everyday teas.

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.

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
