Yummy tea!

Wombat, when I was in China, we went to a Tea House - and presented with a big menu of pages and pages of tea, I asked our translator/guide to recommend one. I was stunned when she looked at me and said "Eh, they're all the same! It's just tea!"

I pointed to the one on the page of Jasmine teas with the longest name, and it was very yummy, but it's not like I'll ever be able to order it anywere else, i just no that the name splled in roman characters had about 30-something letters and started with Q.

There is so many of them.....and they are really very similar. Some of the Jasmine teas are a little better than the others, but I'll drink them all and enjoy them. My first wife was Chinese, so I had a good near on 20 years of drinking it.

I'm a tea drinker, too, Karen, and have tea parties quite often. My son bought me a membership in the tea of the month club. I receive two boxes of decaf tea and the vanilla chai was one of them. I still like English Breakfast the best b/c I use skim milk and sweetener in my tea always. There are so many different teas that I really look forward to receiving that package every month.

I too am a big tea drinker. I have never used milk in mine however. I love Camomile, Peppermint and Rosehip which I always had as a child, think it's a German thing. The only tea I have ever tasted that I don't like is Apple Cinnamon. One of my favs now is Apricot.

Some of the nicest teas I have in the West have been from Tealuxe.com which is based in Boston near you Karen. Their Masala Chai is delicious and so is the dragon well.

I loved to go to tea shops while in China and try many different kinds! I have a large collection of tiny teapots to make all the sorts in too LOL!
