I either drink tisane or whatever green tea I can find. No additives. I don't drink coffee and try to avoid caffeine as much as possible, given the fact that I'm often jet lagged.

Let's all sing the tea song!

Most coffee shops will make you a Earl Grey latte. That was my go-to drink when I worked across from a Starbucks.

I would look at Jasmine tea. It is a very floral one, but sweetened with milk it is absolutely wonderful. Caffeine free as well.

Oh yes, I drink Jasmine tea exclusively while traveling in Asia. But good Jasmine tea isn't always available in other regions. TWC is the brand I most often find in high end hotels in Asia. In Europe I mostly drink tisane which is also caffeine-free. Or if I'm jet-lagged and need a bit of caffeine, Gunpowder tea is one of the ones I like. I like Mariage Frères while in Europe.

My favourite - Damman Freres Darjeeling sachets

My go-to - Yorkshire/Yorkshire Gold (depends on what's available)

Is the Jasmine tea comprised of pure Jasmine flowers or is it just tea perfumed with Jasmine flowers?

Running out of the Indian market Brooke Bond tea I've been drinking so I bought a pound of Indian market Liptons though I find the western world Liptons tea bag tea too weak and insipid. Coupon for a box of their fancy triangular bagged tea helped, though I don't think they were expecting to redeem that against loose leaf tea.

Finally getting around to my first cup (sadly without milk, as I don't have any in the house). It's quite nice - just fragrant and floral enough of bergamot without being cloying.

Can anyone recommend me where to get a good Pu-ehr tea in US?

Glad you like it (much better without milk IMO)!

I am a pagan and even have Earl Grey with milk :o

I rarely drink hot tea, but I consume lots of iced tea.


Coffee addict here.

I'm a bit of tea and tisane nut and almost always travel with a mini dual voltage kettle so I can start and end my day with a decent cup. The only teas and tisanes I don't like are the overly sugary and artificial blends such as the "bubblegum pineapple poodle carob marshmallow agave summer tea" from places such as Teavana or Davids tea. I am fine however with their regular teas or lightly scented teas.

Sadly one of my favourite Tea blenders, Whittards, went into administration a few years back and the new management have completely changed their historically excellent product into something highly artificial.

Supposedly the mojoe will be able to brew tea next year. It is very promising but it's only a kickstarter from 2015 Dec with the last update this September, so who knows. I didn't back it. I'd like one, badly but I have zero confidence in preordering.

I recently had tea in colombia made from coffee rounds. They were a few different flavors like with rose or fruits. I thought it was quite bitter. Anyone else try it? I think i prefer chinese tea like chrysanthemum.

This stuff is the bomb, if you love strong green tea.

Is that available sweetened?
