Tea

Well, the "Egg Nog" tea doesn't taste much like eggnog at all, I was wondering how they could manage that with no egg, and no cream ... but it is a tasty light nutmeggy tea.

I used to never drink tea but I have become a big fan. There are about 10-12 different types in the cupboard & that doesn't include the earl grey, english breakfast or orange pekoe. I tend to like the Twinings or Pompadour teas but Lipton's just put out a series of teas that are really nice. My favorite tea ever is by Whittington's Eraclea. It's called winter tea it is a orange cinnamon tea that the smell alone makes you feel better. Twining has just released a green tea that is orange & ginger flavored so I will HAVE to try that.

Anyway, some of my favorites are:

Lipton's Mediterranean Blend (citrus fruits)
Lipton's Warming Blend (apple cinnamon)
Pompadour Wild Berry
Pompadour Red Orange
Pompadour Peach
Pompadour Red Fruit (strawberry, raspberry & pomegranate)
Pompadour 1001 Nights (great on a cold night, it's a bit spicy)
Twinings Blueberry
Twinings Green
Twinings English Breakfast
Twinings Green Ginseng

There are others in my cupboard as well but they are for others in the house. I don't like them but they do. hehehehe And I am sure there are others I have just forgotten about.

I don't do tea - never have been able to stomach it in any form - hot or cold. However I did discover a tea drink that is quite tasty if you like cold and fruity drinks - it's V8 Fusion Raspberry Green Tea. Guess I like it because you can't detect a tea taste. Cold green tea isn't too bad either, since it really doesn't taste like tea, but I still wouldn't go out of my way for it.

I normally drink Earl Grey, it has black Vietman, black Chinese, bergamot and 1% Jasmin flowers in it. I buy bags of 400 g.

I also like plain English Breakfast tea. A good one is Yorkshire Tea. I usually get 80 bags of those when I'm in England, but I've recently seen it in a supermarket here.

Last year, I tried a really good one from a very posh tea shop (A. C. Perch), it's called White Temple tea. That is good in the evenings, since it won't keep you awake.

Grew up on tea, Mum being British!

All we ever do is Salada, though.

I've tried a few herb teas, never been impressed with any flavors. Dad won't even try those.

I'm a boring tea drinker. Black tea or green tea. I only add sugar to them.

....with a twist of lemon and/or a bit of honey.....

I'm not a huge fan of tea, particularly fruit teas. However I recently tried a ginger, galangal and turmeric tea - strangely very relaxing!

I too like Yorkshire tea! Although I try to stick with the Red Rose, and buy its lesser known rival, Lancashire tea! I just love the old fashioned map of my home county on the box, especially when I'm away in London.

Whittards are probably the best here in London, their shop in Covent Garden is fantastic.

I haven't come across that one, yet. Do you find there's a lot of difference? I got an English Breakfast tea from Harvey Nics one year, that was good, too. Oh, one place I'd love to shopping for an unlimited amount, is Fortnum and Mason - and I wish BIBA was still open.

In all honesty I find there's barely any difference in taste, it's really just a question of personal allegiance.

I bet the Harvey Nics' tea was indeed rather good!
