Anyone drink Dessert teas or tea in general

I don't like my green tea hot, as much as I like it cold, so I cold steep my tea. I put the loose leaf tea into the strainer in my cup, fill it with cold water and put it in the fridge over night. Then I wake up to delicious ice cold tea. After I drink that I will steep the leaves again in hot water, to get the most out of the tea. And you can cold steep any kind of tea, if you want. But, I understand if I'm the only weirdo that does this, lol.

A friend at work does that.

Yes yes, there ARE others like you out there

Always like teas. Been Trying all the Bigalows teas. Really enjoy. Want to get into more loose tea leafs.

I started with mostly bigelows from the store. Moved on to lose leaf. I suggest staying away from Teavana unless you want to pay a fortune for chemically tasting junk with no tea in it I use Harney and sons primarily. You can also find teas that will fit your taste if you go to http://www.teaviews.com if you scroll down and look to the left you'll see different flavors, pick your flavor and see which review fits your taste. they list the company that sells it. It's regular ppl like you and I doing the reviews. That's how I've discovered most of my teas. also you can usually buy samples of the tea from the company to see if you like it. they also send you samples of tea when you purchase teas. YUM!

I've been on a huge tea kick lately - originally I was hoping it would help me cut down on the diet soda I drink, now I just drink tons of both. I really like Mighty Leaf tea...and not just because I won $100 worth in a contest! Their green tropical is nice as a cup or hot or pitcher or iced.

Oh I've never heard of Mightly leaf teas. I just bookmarked their site. Good to know

Lucky you for winning $100 worth. That's a great prize

I think I should have posted this under the food category, this category moves so fast lol.

I love just about all kinds of tea. I love good old fashioned orange pekoe, chamomile, chai tea, green tea, white tea, you name it I've probably either tried it or I'm interested in trying it. I love iced tea, hot tea, tea with and without milk, with lemon, sugar, you get the drift. I love tea!!! I was raised on it. I never knew there was such a thing as dessert teas though. Hmm, I'll have to check that out at the place in one of my malls called David's Tea, they've got a ton of different kinds in both loose and bag variety. I'll have to get the bag stuff of course, I don't have a tea ball - yet. :bigsmile:

If you do the loose leaf teas, I wouldn't use a tea ball. I wasn't getting a good brew with mine and I emailed the company I was buying loose leaf from and they said to use a basket strainer so the tea leaves can fully unravel. I bought 2 of them, one for home and one for work and problem solved.

I've heard of Davids tea but haven't had it before. I just looked at their website and saw a tea called Red velvet cake! I think I'm sold on that one

Never have tried that. I've heard it's a love or hate thing too. I'll get around to trying it one day I'm sure

bump

I bought my tea basket/strainer on sale for around $7 online. I have two so I could have one at work, lays right acrossed my tea mugs. You can also buy empty tea bags to fill up with loose leaf then you can just toss them out. They were cheap and large so you don't have to worry about them spilling out into your cup as the grounds expand. I use these in restaurants

I thought I hadn't tried Republic of Tea before but thinking back I think I bought some grapefruit vanilla tea from them a while back and I disliked it. It tasted too much like iced tea even when hot and I'm not into iced tea. I am afraid to try them again
