Favourite kind of Tea?
Right now mine is Cocoa Spice......hint of cocoa with cinnamon and other spices. Sweet yet spicy. :)

Kind of addicted to tea now that I got this new tea set. :)

5. That's always a good choice...
one I partake of after 12 decaf espresso in 4 hours, just so I can go to sleep. (Decaf isn't really decaf, it's low-caf. 6 decaf equals 1 full-caf.)

12. Jasmine tea
I got a box of it, loose, not in bags. It's good with sugar, and I think you can put milk in it, but I don't.

46. Say what you will...
There is nothing more sublime than Opium Tea. Not strong enough to actually intoxicate you, yet still makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

21. The old standard, Earl Gray..
I have the Earl Gray Supreme from Harney & Sons, husband is addicted to it. I also have their Cinnamon loose tea for winter..it brews strong, but is a very tasty cup.
I like fruit teas also, but don't really have a fave. In the bag form, I absolutely LOVE Constant Comment.

34. During the day, I usually have black tea
In the evenings, I will sometimes have rooibos, which is technically not a tea, but I like it anyway.

36. Assam Superb, From Fortnum & Mason, London

Brewed loose, the English way; also served the English way: a little sugar and a splash of milk.

Read Orwell's essay on how to do a good pot of tea, available on the Net.....

37. Vanilla
In Holland some friends introduced me to it. The aroma is wonderful.

And then there's good old peppermint.

53. Chai
A chap I had dated used to make me home made chai using his family's recipe. Nothing tops that, though I do like Tazo and Stash. Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla White Chai is right up there, too.

The Cocoa and Spice sounds yummy! What brand is it? I'll have to check it out! :hi:
