Just wondering if there's any other tea fanatics out there?

I love green and white tea. Going to places like Teavana and Adagio makes me so ridiculously happy. When I get cravings for "bad" food I just make myself a cup of tea.

So yeah, who digs tea and what are your favorite brands/flavors? :)

    I love green tea. I have all the different flavour Twingings in a line by my kettle. My favourite at the moment is cranberry but it seems to change every week. Can't beat tea for a healthy refreshing hot drink.

    In the cooler weather I drink 5-6 cups of lemongrass and ginger tea a day, it just tastes awesome :) I don't like the sweeter fruit teas, they get a bit cloying.

    Looooove tea. I love twining's chamomile vanilla and honey blend, but have recently been drinking a lot of pickwick tea (which I don't think is sold in the US) but currently am in love with caramelized pear, winterglow (which has a hint of orange) rooibos honey, and my absolute favorite: acai and blueberry tea!

    I love dark teas with hints of sweetness and fruit... I love green tea also, but I've lived in Japan for a while and still go there often, so once you've had green tea there the stuff that's sold here just isn't the same :(

    I love white tea! Makes me feel good and settles my stomach. Good detox also if had a bad day the day before. I take it in evenings and as tastes different doesn't encourage any cravings for biscuits etc.

    I love every kind of tea and herbal. I collect them, I'm only having green tea 2x a day at the moment, since I'm back on track after Christmas time. I'm looking forward to lose these last kgs to quit green tea, I like it but there's so many other teas I want to drink. I am looking forward to buy a pack of cherry tea and a pack of apple tea - I've been looking for both for such a long time!

    OMG......Yes, I love tea---mostly regular decaf!!! Also:

    Ginger Tea
    Peppermint Tea
    Orange Pekoe ( a very tasty regular tea, sounds flavored but is not)
    Oolong Tea
    Tropical from Barnes&Noble
    Pomegranate Blueberry from WalMart
    Green Tea
    White Tea

    I usually put lime in my tea or clementine slices, no sugar or sweeteners. :smile:

    I like: 'builders' tea' (strong with a dash of milk), Earl Grey with lemon, green jasmine tea, redbush (rooibos) or fruit teas when I don't want caffeine, camomile for relaxing and peppermint if I have indigestion.

    I love tea. I have over 100 kinds of tea. The only tea I did not like was chocolate tea. It sounds fantastic, but it was artificial tasting. I decided to make my own with real chocolate and Chai tea. I like it much better. I am having a cup of tea at this moment. Happy tea drinking.

    I love tea. All kinds. Teavana My Morning Maté in the mornings before work, regular ol' Lipton black tea at work, herbal tea in the afternoon, chamomile blends in the evening... I love it. I try to limit myself to one mug a day because it's an expensive habit, but I could drink tea all day.

    I am also a tea lover! 95%+ of what I drink is either tea or water.

    I have two full-sized kitchen cupboards to house all my tea and tea paraphernalia and have recently purchased baby food containers to organise and stack my "taster" amounts. (I get a lot of tea from Davidstea and try 10-15g if I'm not sure whether I'd actually like it once brewed.)

    Black teas are my favourite, but I also enjoy oolong, green, white, herbal, and rooibos. (If "tea" is in the title, there's a pretty good chance I'll like it, lol.) Earl Grey is my absolute favourite; I probably have 15+ different kinds in my cupboard right now (Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Earl Grey Decaf, Earl Grey Oolong, Earl Grey Rooibos, Earl Grey white, Earl Grey Green, Earl Grey with Lavender, Baroness Grey, Earl's Garden, etc., etc.) I never sweeten my tea but usually have it with a little milk (including some teas that most people would never ever put milk in, lol).

    Me too!! I find green tea in abundance curbs my appetite BIG TIME and not only that, the lesser amounts of caffeine in green tea curbs my need for the caffeine I get from guzzling soda, even diet soda!!

    I am a total tea fanatic...and since I'm trying to give up alcohol for the entire year of 2014 I am currently a "tea totaller." :D I love green tea including matcha and buy those directly from Japan. I love the whole ritual of tea and try to slow down at least once/day and enjoy but my busy life usually just leaves me time to quickly add the hot water and get back to what I'm doing. Chai, lots of chai! A local bakery makes this chocolate mint roobios blend that is to die for! I drink lots of herbal teas, ginger teas and lately have started making yogi tea from scratch. I follow ayurveda so I drink lots of herbal blends from that. I also brew my own Kombucha...tea is just so much fun!

    I'm a bit of tea snob here! I prefer my teas in the loose variety. Golden Monkey is probably my favorite! :)

    I adore tea :) I have a decent collection in my cupboard, mostly black tea varieties since I don't like the fruity once.
    I have (all Lipton): - Russian Earl Grey (earl grey with a hint more citrus)
    - Orange Jaipur
    - Ceylon
    - Full english breakfast
    - Yellow label
    I also have a really nice herbal mix, that takes care of your intestines; it has fennel, mint and nettle.

    I pretty much drink all sorts of tea. I try to keep away from caffeine as much as possible, so black teas i have rarel, except for the Tea Pigs chocolate tea which gives the tea a smooth flavour. Green, Jasmine, all types of mint, sleepy teas, ginger teas. Some of the yogi teas are a little too exotic but I love the quotes on the labels.

    Earl Grey my favourite, but now that I do not take sugar it tastes funny...so now only coffee. :-(
