Blue Blood Tea Drinkers Unite!!!!!

So we BlueBlood tea drinkers sort of hi-jacked that other thread talking about tea, so I think TEA deserves it's own thread!!

Today's tea drinking tip: I warm the milk (whole milk first), so it is hot, and THEN put it in the tea, so it stays hot!!! Just fabulous!

Right now I am drinking the Assam tea, which is just the best! Thank you for the suggestion, I am almost out and have to get more. It is REALLY hard to find Assam tea in USA, so far I have only found one store, and it is expensive, but worth it!

Oh, regarding the Jasmine tea, I think Jasmine has SOME caffeine, maybe not much. It makes a nice sachet.

Isn't this a posh thread???

damn im drinking this realy great tea right now but i dont know what its called, its some plant my grandma grows in her garden, kinda looks like tall grass but with yellow flowers. Its good stuff has sortof a minty taste, i bring a years suply from my grandmas farm evry year, if only i knew what it was called:(

:coffee2: :coffee2: :coffee2:

i realy dont know what its called but its good my grandma calls it "yierbaniz" im not sure i spelled it right lol if only i knew what its called in english

I've read that you're supposed to pour the hot tea over the milk...that way it scorches the milk. Creates a different taste than pouring the milk into the tea...or something....

I love tea. I wish my tea pot wasn't in Fla with the rest o my crap. I'd fire up a big ol pot of harvest tea and make the house smell like christmas and cloves. It might help ot have my tea cups too. *sigh* tea envy (I think it's green).

That sounds good! I have never tried harvest tea... I know I need a teapot and cups, but I don't think I could fit them in my kitchen. Maybe if I store them in the oven, except I already have the plates and pots in there!!!!

I will try that!

I pour milk into tea, but that's me. Warming it's a new one on me, though it sounds like a reasonable idea <3

Trying to find some more Ceylon of late. So hard to find! So deliscious! Light, but flavourful. Anyone here actually stand Darjeeling?

Harvest tea is hard to get with out going ot denver and getting some from The Harvest resturaunt. They don't do mail orders anymore (whuch blows) but the tea is awesome.

At the moment I'm drinking migraine tea which is also awesome cause it makes me better. I believe in herbal teas. :) Need to start hunting down more varieties though, really get full swing into this tea thing. Prolly make a good time killer. :D

K

I work in a coffee shop and all day I make coffee/espresso/machiatto/capuccino ... etc (with all the other crap in there like red eyes and americanos) BUT the one thing I enjoy most about my day is that I get to drink Tea for free all day because so few customers actually order it.
Mango Ceylon is my current favorite with liquorish pepperment coming in a close second. The shop I work at actually has a drink called "the zenmaster" which is japanese green tea with a shot of vanilla [this is the best drink ever, in the world, ever, 4 all eternity]

mmm, tea.... i may have to go make some now, a nice cup of earl grey.. i miss my tea, i work in a bookstore with a cafe now so i've been drinking more coffee lately. after reading this thread i may have to switch back to tea!

that zenmaster stuff sounds really good....

That's great that the migraine tea makes you better. Herbs can really cure all kinds of things, the old fashioned way. I have this tea (which they mix with the caffeine oolong), and it has all kinds of helpful herbs that heal everything.) I try to drink this most of the time!

Ceylon is actually really easy to find here in the states, it's the Assam that is hard to find. But I am almost out of it (drinking Assam right now!)

I like Darjeeling, it's kind of bitter, but I like it.

Here in France, Lipton makes a tea with a bunch of citrus fruits including grapefruit. It rocks. Assam is relatively easy to get here, there's a bunch of tea salons and a place that sells tea and what to boil or drink it in. You have to make your own chai here. So my grandma's sending it to me. Most of the teas here come from the middle east, or Russia, plus of course China and India.

More about poshness, the term "Blue Blood" is a very posh term. It is supposed to mean royalty!!!

So we are the royalty baby!!!

I prefer The oriental teas myself... green, black, chai, Tea Leoni, (hee hee)

OO I love chai. The lil coffee shop up the way makes the best chai slushies (iced and blended).

mmmmcherry~~ Alvita's REMETEAS Migra-Wonder. feverfew, white willow bark (precursor to asprin), ginger, green tea and orange. I get mine at the Vitamin Shoppe and stir in one spoonful of clover honey. Makes things all better. :D

K

God damn how I love tea but i use cold milk in my tea so that it's not so hot that I can't drink it. I miss my insane assortment of tea that i get back home. I can't find half the things we have home here in america and it saddens me. Like rum vanilla, I love rum vanilla. Then there are a lot of carribbean tea companies that make really good fruit teas like mago orange etc. And hey looky I'm back =P

I dunno about you but that tea looks like monkey pee.

I think their may be a quality control issue. Also I don't think I want my tea picked by a creature that secretly plots my demise.

well we did take away their inheritance.

they didnt count on evolution, silly monkeys :(

awwww monkeys are cute.
so are penguins :D i went to get some tea today at esquires beside my work... and bought a penguin. for like 8 bucks! hes so cute with his little bug eyes...
