Title: What tea do you prefer?
Post by: sweetiepi on June 22, 2018, 12:57:26 pm: After seeing the uproar on the coffee thread about the lack of tea options- here's a thread just for tea! ;D

My favourite tea is chamomile, followed by black tea (I prefer loose-leaf aha! :') )
I also occasionally drink a chocolate tea that I bought loose-leaf and add honey to it- pure bliss <3

Anyone else think that Earl Grey tastes a little soapy?

I felt the need to have that as an option 😂

Post by: beatroot on June 22, 2018, 01:39:19 pm: I don't drink tea that often though if it's there infront of me, I shall drink away ;)

- Jasmine Tea (especially when they give it for free at Chinese restaurants!!!!)
- Green Tea
- Bubble tea aha (does my usual chatime fruity strawberry with black tea order with no pearls count as bubble tea if there ain't no pearls?)
- I like any tea that has lemon in it :)

I never ever put milk and sugar in my tea though.

Post by: Calebark on June 22, 2018, 01:56:48 pm: My favourite tea is planinski caj, which is a tea made from ironwort. I think the one I buy is sourced from Serbia. It's not sold in supermarkets, sadly :( I've only ever found it in Balkan grocery stores, so it's not as popular as it deserves

Post by: Yertle the Turtle on July 13, 2018, 04:00:33 am: Definitely white tea no sugar, preferably getting my money's worth out of the teabag as well, 3-4 cups or maybe more. Sometimes have sugar, mostly when I'm in India. However, this can be taken too far, such as last week seeing someone put 3-4 teaspoons of sugar into a 60mL cup of tea!?!?!?!

I'm an English Breakfast kinda guy, but can't deny that Irish Breakfast is pretty good too.

Post by: Bri MT on July 13, 2018, 03:09:21 pm: I was introduced to Earl Grey and Green in primary school & thought that my indifferent response settled it - I wasn't a tea person.

That is, until a close friend at highschool started bringing in cinnamon tea & I tried some. Then at RYLA my group shared a different tea each day of the week. I have no idea what was in those teas (as they were each homemade from multiple ingredients) but they became favourites.

Please never ever judge tea on Earl Grey. It is the worst tea in the world imo, just tastes disgusting. Mostly I don't go into herbal teas of any type, but cinnamon tea is pretty good.

Post by: sarangiya on July 13, 2018, 04:25:34 pm: I actually love Earl Grey. If you're looking for a good introduction, T2's French Earl Grey used to be a favourite of mine (and not too expensive).
Earl Grey as bubble tea is delicious too.
I haven't come across a tea I don't like yet, but I have to be in a particular ~mood~ to drink herbal (medicinal-type) teas.

Post by: PhoenixxFire on July 16, 2018, 12:42:22 am: Okay I have to confess, I’ve always been a tea hater but I’ve been being fed tea three times a day at the moment and I’m seriously considering continuing to drink it once I’m back in Australia. At least it might reduce my coffee consumption haha. We’re just being given black tea but maybe I’ll experiment a bit haha

Post by: JTrudeau on July 16, 2018, 09:39:13 pm: Milk and sugar? Try soy milk and honey ;)

My local T2's honestly converted me to tea. Every week I go there they're (ooft, homophones) giving me new samples to take home and try. My favourite is Terrific Toffee :)

Yes, I love T2. At one point I counted all the boxes we had bought and at $13 a box it added to over $200 (nuts).
Walking into the store is good enough, but those samples 😍😍
I also love terrific toffee! Some of my T2 favorites are Sweet Spice, Blue Mountain, Jade Mountain, Vanilla Slice, Tummy Tea, Choc Chip Chai and Licorice Legs.
Also much love for Mr. Trudeau xx

Post by: K888 on October 13, 2019, 10:20:10 pm: Reviving this topic because it's the most recent tea-specific one I can find! My question isn't really appropriate for any other threads.

I'm making an effort to reduce the amount of waste I produce. I drink a lot of tea and my favourite tea is Twinings Irish Breakfast but its in tea bags and I would feel better switching to loose leaf to reduce the amount of tea bags I'm sending to landfill as I'm sure they're not very biodegradable.

So, does anyone have a recommendation for an Irish Breakfast loose leaf tea that will blow my mind? I already have the one from T2 but imo it's not as good as the Twinings one. Happy to branch out from Twinings as it seems they don't make it in the loose leaf variety.

Post by: Bri MT on October 14, 2019, 08:50:57 am: Some people in my course compost their teabags (successfully) so you could also look into that as an option if you have composting facilities.

Iirc twinings pyramid tea bags are compostable but not their other ones

Yeah, used to compost (Twinings also removed all the staples from their tags so you can now compost the tea bags without having to remove the staples) however recently moved to an apartment and we don't have a space where we can compost unfortunately. We don't have a green bin either :( There is a communal backyard though so I could enquire about having a compost bin in that space.

Post by: caffinatedloz on October 28, 2019, 08:24:25 pm: Out off all of the tea options, I can't go past a good bubble tea. However, I also like a lot of the fruity teas from T2 with soy milk. ;D

Post by: Kombmail on November 11, 2019, 10:02:57 pm: I like the twinings strawberry, long berry and raspberry one..... I would recommend everyone to try it at least once it is the best tea yall!!!!
