I love tea

[MissHoneychurch]

and I drink a lot of water (barely any sodas).

But I hate running to the bathroom every half hour because of that. :)

1. So do I Miss Honeychurch - both iced and hot

If I absolutely had to make a choice between coffee (which I love) and tea, I'd take tea.

With toast and marmalade.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. same here

always tea over coffee.

[In_The_Wind]

2. I love iced sweet-tea!

coffee has the same diuretic effect

[MissHoneychurch]

4. now you make me miss that sweet iced tea

:cry:

I loved that when I was in NC or Georgia.
Darn, they only sell flavored iced tea here and I don't like that.

[In_The_Wind]

5. sweet-tea is made from unflavored tea and sugar

you can make some for yourself

[AussieDave]

6. That's what I do - make some hot tea

let it cool, then add ice and lemon - but you can make it as sweet as you want.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. my former guest mom in NC did it the same

except the lemon and everybody in the family was sweetening it as they wanted :9

[MissHoneychurch]

7. I know

I know. I was hoping to make you feel bad that you reminded me of Georgia.

[In_The_Wind]

9. NICE ... very nice ...

first I get ask to leave the Lounge ...

now one of my best friends wants to make me feel bad ...

I'm leaving ...

[MissHoneychurch]

10. who asks you to leave???

I am gonna kick their asses

and I don't really want to make you feel bad. Please stay :hug:

11. I have really tried to like it.

I haven't found a flavor I like, yet. Suggestions?

[MissHoneychurch]

12. there is white tea

I only found out about it after someone here in the Lounge told me about it. It isn't as bitter as black or green tea.

And which tea I really like a lot is green tea with jasmine. Very yummy.

[AussieDave]

14. Jasmine tea is very nice - peppermint tea is nice too

[LaraMN]

16. hmmm. peppermint...

I may have to try that one. I'm fond of mint.

[LaraMN]

15. tried it. Is chamomile any good?

Because chamomile sure smells good. It's growing in the cracks in my driveway.

[MissHoneychurch]

17. sure, you can also drink chamomile

it is used when you have a cold. There are a lot of herbal and fruit teas out there. Just pick what smells good to you.

[AussieDave]

19. It's OK for a change - but I don't make a habit of it

I much prefer straight black tea - no milk or sugar, maybe just a little lemon.

[meganmonkey]

21. Chamomile is good for belly problems. Very soothing

also for relaxing at night.

:)

30. Mmm...white tea...so delicate, so fragile in taste

Ten Ren has the best white tea - get the $22 for four ounces kind.

Mix it with a little jasmine - wondrous!

Or even better, mix the white tea with some Spring Tea or Winter Tea, but especially the Spring tea.

http://www.tenren.com/wintertea2003.html

Spring Tea you have to wait until spring to get - they're doing winter now.

There's a delicate combination that is breathtakingly good!

[tjwmason]

13. I do too.

:D

Either a good black tea served with milk, or green tea (which I drink more frequently).

But then I do need coffee to get my brain going first thing in the morning.

[MissHoneychurch]

18. hello TJ

finally woken up? :hi:

[tjwmason]

20. I've been up for hours.

I've just got home having been out to meet up with a chum for a while. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

24. chum?

sorry, don't know that word. But I am impressed that you have a life beside DU (just kidding)

[tjwmason]

32. It's a slang word for friend

In a similar vein to pal, mate &c.

[meganmonkey]

22. I'm a green tea junkie

I usually drink a cup of it after lunch - right now I have 'Earl Grey' style green tea with bergamot flavoring. Yum! At home I make big pitchers of iced green tea (decaffeinated) with a couple bags of something for flavor - currently Wild Berry Zinger by Celestial Seasonings.

[Draill]

23. I love Earl Grey and Lady Grey tea

also, chamomile. There's a vanilla hazelnut tea that I love in the winter. My hands down favorite is rooibos tea, though. I would like to try the white tea, see if I like it.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I started to frink rooibos tea a couple of months ago

I really like it. But just the plain tea, not flavored or anything. I am not a fan of flavored tea.

[Mizmoon]

25. I have a cuppa as often as possible

I love Constant Comment Green Tea and the lipton flavored black teas. If you haven't had Lipton's black orange and spice tea, you haven't really had tea!

Early grey
lady grey
Prince of Wales
English Breakfast

Anything but herbal tea. That stuff is NOT really tea, dammit! They should find another name for it.

[AussieDave]

27. Prince of Wales is my favorite - I drink it by the gallon.

Also Queen Mary tea and English Breakfast.

[Mizmoon]

28. I didn't expect to like it

it's awfully "dark", but it is way good. I don't think I've ever had Queen Mary. I'll have to give it a try. Now I'm wondering if there is a Queen Victoria tea too.

[Draill]

29. Do you drink that iced, too?

I'll have to try it, I drink my Earl Grey iced right now.

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. I have been enjoying the hell out of Ten Ren's plum tea as iced tea

Holy crow, this stuf is tasty!!
