Just wanted to see if anyone else out there is as addicted to herbal tea as I am. I still drink coffee every now and then, but I went to China in November and absolutely fell in love with their various teas--- lychee, jasmine, and ginseng to name a few.

I find that sipping on tea throughout the day helps curb my appetite. Doesn't really matter what type it is, but I'm a big fan of the ShapeUp blend from Teavana. Just don't drink that too late in the day, or you'll be bouncing off the walls all night. :laugh:

    I LOVE tea ;) I have a whole box of different kinds in my kitchen ;) Anytime I go somewhere I like to get a different kind. I've taken up(more so then before) drinking it in the nights while I watch tv instead of snaking.

    oooooh yeah. I drink so much tea. I gave up coffee about a year ago, and I drink assam black tea in the morning. I love lemon-ginger - great for weight loss, too! I also really love green tea and the blueberry green tea slim life that yogi teas makes is super tasty. Oh, and black tea with yerba mate!!! Tastes like postum, but very healthy.

    Tea = happiness
    I love having teas for every mood. Listening to classical music and studying Art History? Sip that Earl Grey. Winter blues? Peppermint Green. Getting ready for bed? Chamomile. Feelin' ill? Ginger. Feelin' hot? Iced pomegranate. The list goes on...

    As a life long tea junkie, I now drink mainly Nacto Indian masala blend spiced tea, made with cloves,cinnamon,ginger,cardamom and black pepper. One of the many advantages of living near a city with a large Asian population is being able to readily buy such exotic fayre.

    I too have a whole shelf of nothing but tea's. we went to the Bahama's and found Nassau Rum flavored tea( go figure ..LOL) its so good it makes me go,"mmmmmmm" when I take a sip. They have rum banana, vanilla rum and a few others. I buy most of my loose leaf teas from www. adiago.com and Darlene's tea port on Ebay. They have some excellent blends. I too drink it all year long. I found a white cucumber tea, I make into cold tea, then put a couple of sleces of cucumber in my glass with it, its light and refreshing.

    I'm a tea junkie too and this is what it's all about. I have a tea for every mood I'm in. I used to be a coffee junkie, but have since replaced it with tea. Tea is love. :)

    I love tea! I get mine from traditional medicinals online--their herbs are pharmacopoeial grade. Really good for you. I love the Lavender and Chamomile. And when I really want to spoil myself, I drop some serious coin at Teavana. MMMM!

    I will admit that I am a tea junkie. I love tea, almost any kind. On an every day basis I drink a couple of cups of either hot or cold green tea. I love flavored teas, right now I have a large stash of pomegranate tea bags at home. One of my coworkers just has to comment eveytime he catches me getting another glass of tea. He tells me, and everyone else, that I am a complete addict. I guess he should know, he is a dr of psychology. :laugh:

    I suppose I am a tea junky, but not for herbal teas. I mostly drink black tea, very strong, nothing added. I think it's crazy that people on here are so obsessed with plain water when tea tastes so much better and is full of healthy antibiotics. I drink it all day long.
