Anyone here a tea lover? I gave up coffee a while ago, but drink teas now.
Bryanna introduced me to Rooibos, which is one of my favorite tisanes, which led me to Honeybush, my other favorite.
For regular teas, I like all, really. There are excellent teas in Black, Oolong, Green, White, etc.
I am now immersed in Numi Teas and Teasans(organic), which I've posted about before, I think. I'm working my way through their products! They are so incredibly high-quality, the flavor is wonderful. There have only been a few I don't care for (so far).
Considering the quality, the prices are not bad.
They now offer flowering teas which are killing me! They are so good -- whether flavored (none are artificial or added extracts) or plain; black or white. I was purchasing their bagged teas at the market, but wanted to try their loose teas; so I've been buying those. They are even better!
What are your favorites? What brand do you like?

I love tea, but I mostly drink black teas. I grew up putting milk and sugar in tea and can't drink it any other way, only now I use rice milk. I've tried using soy milk in tea but it just doesn't taste right.

I also like black teas for everyday, though I have learned to like my homemade soymilk in it, but I like other teas on occasion, too.

Hi Linda,
Good for you! I also quit drinking coffee but once a while I miss it and have some. I also drink green tea. Our acupuncturist who encourage us to quit drinking coffee and adapt green tea habit. Green tea is good for you.
We have been drinking this one: Choice green teas I also buy from Republic of Tea but they are not organic. I like their Orange Spice Daily Green Tea
I have bought the flowery green tea form Numi in the past. They are pretty expensive. I signed up to go to China this November (instead of New Zealand) so I will explore about buying a lot of the flowery tea there. It should be much cheaper.

Oog. A cup of tea would do wonders for me right now. I prefer a strong dark black tea with "milk", but have to admit to a guilty pleasure in the green tea/rice/popcorn blend you can find everywhere these days that I can't recall the name of to save my life.. Genmaicha?
On the counter at home is a half pound of loose Lapsang Souchang which I love because it always makes me think of tea brewed over a fire while camping.. Also because nobody ever steals any. :-)

I LOVE Genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice)with jasmine. I think the popcorn looking is white jasmine flower. Choice brand has that kind. It is good with Japanese or Korean dishes.
I don't like lapsang souchang. Yes, I won't steal that. :-)
In place or dark or black tea, now I drink Rooibos with soymilk. It is yummy.
