Guess I'm a teabagger now...
I started off with Earl Grey, and now I drink Irish Breakfast.

I feel so used.

3. Not at all, that tea is too arrogant for the teabaggers
They drink cheap teas from the Five and Dime, it's more American.

24. I used to, also, but early on found that it had artificial flavors.
below is a link.

i had the fun of working in the same building with an early tea, coffee and herb shop in missoula, where 'evening in missoula' tea was made. crafted by bruce lee. anyone familiar? we had the BEST teas.

http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/goodearthteas/faqs.d2w/report#changed

Why do some Good Earth teas have artificial flavors?

We believe strongly in using natural ingredients whenever possible. All our flavors are available in all natural or organic formulations.

All new products that we develop are, either, all natural or certified organic.

However, a few of our oldest blends do contain an artificial flavor. This is due to consumer demand. We offer all natural alternatives of these blends. Due to the bolder taste, some customers prefer the version that contains an artificial flavor.

Our teas do not contain MSG, gluten, natural or artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

What is the artificial ingredient in the Original Sweet and Spicy Tea?

There is only one artificial ingredient in used in our Sweet and Spicy tea in order to provide a stronger, bolder flavor. The artificial flavor is an artificial spice flavor, since it does help provide a unique flavor, we keep the details proprietary. Please contact our customer service department for questions on specific medical concerns. Our Original Sweet and Spicy blend is also available in both All Natural and Organic versions.

17. I drink 3 types of tea daily.
Edited on Thu Feb-25-10 08:58 PM by 4lbs
First, a cup of Chinese Green Tea. 100 teabags for $3.50

Second, a cup of Korean Ginseng. 100 packets (contents dissolve in water) cost $6.50

Third, a cup of Jasmine Sunflower tea. Looseleaf. A 300 gram tin (100 cups @ 3 grams each) costs about $5.00

The Jasmine Sunflower is the same type of tea that many Oriental restaurants serve when they bring the teapot to your table.

That's $15 over 3 months, or $5 per month, for all three.

All three are purchased at a nearby Asian supermarket. Nearby being 10 miles away.

I guess I'm a commie for drinking Chinese and Korean tea. :D

22. I also go commando; no bags for me
with imperial gunpowder green tea:

This green tea gets its name from its distinctive leaf style, which is said to resemble gunpowder shot. The tea is steamed, rolled by hand and dried in large open pans over a fire. When hot water is added to the tea it unfurls to reveal whole leaves floating in a clear green liquor, with a fresh, delicate flavour.

http://www.teadog.com/Taylors-Imperial-Gunpowder-Loose-Tea-p/tohigl.htm

I don't buy this brand, as I'm basically a cheap bastid and T&H is a bit pricey, but I like their description. I think I'll have a cup right now!

29. You have forsaken the Path of Bergamot!
Repent, and return to the aromatic and perfumed hands of our beloved Earl! Besides -- what do the Irish know of breakfast?

The Irish know about putting a little of our finest whiskey in a teething baby's water bottle to soothe the teething process....

Hence my taste for the stronger stuff....
