Favorite tea?

I like CaptainTea

Billy Corgan owns a tea shoppe! LOL Let us know how it is when you try it!

Earl Gray loose leaf with a dollop of cream.

my favorite is PG tips by far

So... I've always just bought whatever 'iced tea' bags they have at the grocery story.. which lately is Lipton, although when I lived in GA it was usually Luzianne.

However, this thread was a catalyst for me trying some different black teas. Not sure how this will turn out because I'm using it to make sweet tea, but we shall see!

Ayyy, necro

Although not really because threads like these can last forever?

Anyways, I had some Rooibos for the first time in quite a while today. I forgot how good it is.

How many brews can you get out of one bag?

At least a couple depending on how strong it's brewed. I like mine fairly strong so I'd probably only use the same bag twice, maybe three times.

that looks interesting. If I come across it, I'll definitely try it out.

It's pretty good. Has a bit of a honey flavor even though it contains no honey.

I cold brew a pack of Hibiscus Tea everyday

Samurai Chai Mate from Teavanna is my go-to. Absolutely divine.

Earl Grey is pretty much all I drink. And yes with milk and sugar, guess my preference for coffee carries over for tea.

And weirdly enjoy just smelling freshly brewed english breakfast, for nostalgic reasons.

Chai tea is very nice. Very relaxing.

I'm a lil' bitch. I like rooibos tea with cream and sugar.

Japanese Bancha tea is very good. It taste toasty and buttery.

^^^

That reminds me, anyone drink Genmaicha? Japanese green tea with toasted brown rice mixed in. Supposedly an excellent type of tea.

I got a bag. I am to lazy to make it because it requires a lower boiling point. And is to fine compared to the bancha leaf.

@wendell I see on your newest videos you got Lyons tea. Want me to hook you up with some Barry's tea? There is the eternal struggle in Ireland over Lyon's vs Barry's.

I'm on both sides of the border too. Barry's for single cups or Lyons for the tea pot.
