What are some good teas?

[nachoninja]

green tea and honey

 

[WhatupG]

Quality oolong, nothing else comes close. You don't need to add sugar, or any other flavor if you get the good stuff. Forget tea bags, and manufactured crap that comes in a box. Get the real deal.

 

[kelhalla2]

yerba mate from Argentina or Uruguay is great.

 

[Spliffic]

I hear that Wu Yi stuff is great for your complexion and helps you crap out all that extra weight you're packin.

 

[BeerHat]

Yeah I dig Yerba Mate once in a while, it's pretty cool if you could do the whole pipe thing, but I just drink it in a cup like any other tea.

Murchies is a chain of stores in BC that sells all kinds of teas. They've got the usual stuff plus lots of specialty teas, usually loose but also bagged I think. I think they have a mail order service but there may also be something like this in your area trading under a different name.

Welcome Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd

Tiger Balls or something.

I don't want to butcher this but I think its called tiger balls if not dragon balls. Little balls of rolled up Jasmin that you just leave in the tea at the bottom. Proper Chinese tea, lovely jubbly.

I love good chai (none of that pre-mix sugerd-up crap). Try this one, it rocks hot or cold, with honey and/or milk or without:

Good Earth Teas - Category - Chai Teas

For me anything Mighty Leaf is great- mightyleaf.com

I had a diet pepsi problem by the way. Two big bottles a day was typical.

I quit about 7 months ago. Now I drink coffee, green tea and water almost exclusively.

Same deal with me - Up to about 3 months ago I drank Rockstar / Red Bull daily to get me going. I dropped that habit and started drinking green tea as well. I've been buying Salada - it's pretty good, cheap too. Like $3 or so for a box of 40 teabags I think.

I'd say fuck it... you only live once. Drink what taste the best. I have 2-3 redbulls/amps/rockstars a day.

It will catch up to you eventually but by the time it does, you'll be too old to give a fuck.

[crestind]

Royal pu er tea is some of the best. Should give it a try.

 

[subigo]

Well I just said fuck it and spent about $100 on sampler packs, so there better be something in there I like. lol

On a side note, I'd almost kill a man for a Dr Pepper right now.

most of the green tea in the US is such crap that chinese peasants wouldn't even touch the stuff...

black teas are healthier for you than green anyways... white tea has the least health benefit of the 3...

 

[Boomstick]

i'm lazy, i just buy arizona diet green tea by the gallon. for diet, it is very sweet, though i'm not sure if its actually good for you or not.

 

[TPMnorth]

Look Up Red Blossom Tea Co. Organic Dragon Pearl Jasmine is a sublime green tea.

Here is a link & this is NOT a Roll. Red Blossom Tea Company

 

[NickRac]

Check to see if you have a local Teavana store...

Although you'll look like a total yuppie deusche you will have a great opportunity to taste a bunch of really different teas and decide for yourself...

 

[yevlesh]

Dilmah teas from Amazon are the best. They have 30 or 40 different ones, but my favorites are the Celyon Tea (black tea, but much better then the regular stuff) and Italian Almond Tea .
