Do you like tea?

[ikiruNObungaku]

I'm new here. I wasn't sure of a good way to break the ice and start a discussion, so I would like to know the community more. Especially before I decide to make posts with more serious discussions.

Do any of you enjoy tea? I like it a lot; I have fond memories of going to Teavana stores when I was a child. At the moment, I can't have any tea, but for when I am able to again I would appreciate some recommendations.

Love tea. I have at least three cups per day. It's ben my true companion through all the ups and down of this life.

 

[dreaming]

I do but I don't get to drink it much these days unfortunately.

For like 4 years I had a large cup of green tea and a piece of bread for breakfast. Now I still drink it two or three times a week. I don't care if my doctor aunt said that it's toxic to the liver or something.

I like the Chinese blend that I can get locally a lot. I tried the Japanese matcha from Costco and let's say it was... Interesting. It tasted like melon so it's not my favorite.

I love tea!! I've been especially addicted to this chocolate chip black tea I got from a local tea shop lately, tea is so so good. I'm a little picky sometimes and usually prefer more sweet tasting teas, but willing to try any flavor at least once :-0

I feel the exact same way. Somehow it always helps me through it all.

I wouldn't listen to that statement; I'm sure there are far more benefits than negatives to drinking green tea especially. I've never thought about getting it at Costco before... but I worry about teas from large stores sometimes. If it's possible to get it locally, it is definitely the best way. I wish I could do that.

Chocolate chip tea sounds very good, I wish I could try it. I can't imagine the taste, but I want it! I like sweet teas that do not require much sweetener to be added.

I like tea! Green tea, jasmine, chamomile, buckwheat, and that black tea offered at japanese restaurants which I don't know the name of huhu

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes. Just regular tea. I suppose it's Indian tea. I don't drink as much as I used to of it. Pretty much just one cup with breakfast now. My tea making capabilities seem to vary too. Some days, it tastes much nicer than others.

I used to hate tea as a kid but the only exposure I had was Earl Grey (sorry Captain Picard) which I thought tasted like "stick juice". Then, in my 20s I discovered chai and oooooooooh man, do I like chai. Then I went to Japan and had good green tea. Those two opened me up to the world of tea and I now have literal pounds of it sitting in my cabinets.

My favorite is still chai although I get a caffeine free version otherwise I would never sleep. I also like orange spice or a warm, nutty tea. Never really been a fan of the really "fruity" teas or tea that is not piping hot, however.

 

[LaetumCat]

Yes! But pretty much only fruit teas and ice teas.

 

[itsitbit]

Yes I love tea :) I used to exclusively drink iced teas but lately I have been really big on drinking it hot. I like milky black teas, rooibos, chamomile. But sometimes I'm very forgetful with restocking, and when I find my tea cupboard empty I just drink plain hot water LOL

I also really like 유자차 (yuja cha), it comes in a jar as a jam-like mixture (you dissolve it in hot water) and is very sweet and delicious. I mostly drink that if I'm sick or worried about getting a scratchy throat or something.

I have never been to Teavana before but it's wonderful that you have good childhood memories there, I don't think I drank much tea until I was an adult (I am making up for that lost time by drinking copious amounts of delicious and new-to-me teas as often as I can now haha). This is a fun thread! Thank you for posting

I have a family member who started drinking tea because of Captain Picard; we have tea together sometimes!
I love chai very much too. I have never seen a caffeine free version, though. I would love to find one!

I'm glad you like this post. I am so happy that so many people here are so welcoming and friendly.
I am going to look for yuja cha so I can try it. Thank you for telling me about it! I will tell you when I have tried it!

 

[softfur]

i do... i'm not versed with a wide variety because i'm not up for buying things but i like "tea tea" and herbals. i like to make myself a lot of black tea so i can have it cold later i like genmaicha and chai and chamomile but i think i'm allergic or something

 

[_Gollum_]

Sometimes! More of a black coffee person myself hehe. My favourite teas/tisanes are:

• Peppermint
• Lady Grey (hate early grey though)
• Sencha nagashima (Japanese green tea)
• Chamomile
• Bengal spice (a type of chai made by Celestial Seasonings)

 

[Malfunction]

I like both tea & coffee.

My day starts with coffee, I usually have tea afterwards and maybe back to coffee.

Tim Hortons is my favorite coffee shop. At home, I've been drinking a Bob Marley brand lately.

For Tea, Tetley or Red Rose. Sometimes peppermint with a bit of raw honey and a splash of lemon juice

I also like Brisk for a cold drink.

Thanks for posting, and welcome!

Drinking heavy amounts of green tea can damage the liver. A cup a day likely isn't going to hurt most people.

There are some people who should limit green tea. I'm one of them. It inhibits iron absorption, so I should avoid it because of my condition.

Unless you have a medical reason, green tea is quite healthy. It lowers cholesterol, good for the heart and reduces inflammation. Just don't drink 4 cups a day.

 

[SoLowHollow48]

In my country, there's a tea brand called Prendjak. That's my favorite tea. I'm not a big tea person but for this particular brand, I can make an exception. I usually drink it with lemon and honey.

My other favorite is Ahmad Tea's Earl Grey. So good with condensed milk and a bit of salt. Their Hibiscus tea is bit off for my liking.

That's all I guess. My goal is to afford myself some Twinnings.

Yogi bedtime
Bigelow lavender chamomile
Numi rooibos
Ginger + lemon

 

[pieberry]

I love plain black tea! I also love chamomile tea, but mostly because it smells nice. I also love lattes, but I have more of a sweet tooth when it comes to coffee.

 

[ScaredCutter]

i love tea, well just the one with tea bag, sugar, milk and hot water. its so yummy and delicious, i used to have a lot in a day but it started tasting like water so i put it off for a little while but, i still drink it everyday! i tried green tea and another one but they were so bad lol. i love tea alot.

 

[vivia]

ah, tea. it reminds me so much of my mom, she really loves drinking tea. i like those tea bags kinda tea, cuz back then she used to make me tea like that a lot. just 2 spoons of sugar is enough... more than enough, actually. and yeah, i'm kinda curious too, what tea with milk tastes like, the british way​

 

[Manaaja]

I hate how I have to remember to drink more water after tea since it's dehydrating, and of course I don't remember all the time.

Otherwise I'm fine with tea and drink it often, but it does get boring, and I have lately felt like drinking less.

 

[Snailey]

I used to really love Tea. There used to be a shop nearby called David's Tea and it was the best smelling shop ive ever been in. Amazing how theres so many different kinds.

Earl Grey is my go to for an afternoon pick me up.

 

[SASU-KE]

I love tea in the evening and coffee in the morning.Look forward to those two things every day.

 

[Star67]

I do like tea although haven't had it in ages. I like Orange Pekoe, Early Grey, and English Breakfast. I mainly drink coffee nowadays although you've inspired me to drink tea again.
