Tea

[JM]

Do you like tea? What kinds do you like? I recently had a SDA minister say tea was against the faith sorry: ) because of the caffine...(then he admitted he eats candy bars!)...

God bless.

What the heck is wrong with caffine?

Tea is OK i guess.. especially Earl Grey.

Tea doesn't have ANY caffeine, it has theine. No kidding, theine is different from caffeine, and theine doesn't have the same effect on the body as caffeine because your body can't metabolize it, it just passes through your system. The lift that some people feel from tea is purely psychological, unless they are drinking something like Morning Thunder by Celestial Seasonings, which is a fortified tea with caffeine added.

So, drink tea with a clean conscience, it has no "drugs" at all in it!

I love tea and coffee. I really dont dig on the funny teas though, I prefer plain black teas. I recommend Luzianne tea and Community coffee. Of course I am from Louisiana so I am biased towrds our local products.

Earl Grey, and sometimes some Green tea. Never thought I'd drink Green tea, go figure.

Oh, and sweet iced tea. Yum

Sounds like that SDA minister is saying "Do as I say, not as I do"

I drink all kinds of tea and honestly love it. I wonder if anyone has ever tried Manchurian Mushroom tea? It is a tea that is made by letting a large Manchurian mushroom fermate in brown sugar tea. It really tastes horrid and you can only drink 4ozs a day, but it cleans the bloodstream and has been known to cure cancer, diabetes and other ailments.

I do Not see anything wrong with drinking Tea at all. In fact I drink decaffined tea only. My body cannot handle caffine at all.

ummm how about a spot of Tea (_)D...

I drink sweet iced Lipton tea and I also drink hazelnut coffee because I looove the taste and it gets me going if I've had a rough night with the baby, so that preacher would have a hay day with me eeek Though I disagree with his belief on tea.

There's not much better than a good cup of Earl Grey...

 

[CFoster]

Green tea for me please!

I love sipping tea!

and dunking cookies in it too!!

 

[JM]

I have a couple cups of coffee first thing in the morning and then green tea in the evening.

Black and green teas are actually very good for you. The anti-oxidants prevent cancers and the blood-thinning properties prevent heart attacks.

I love Chai tea, it's the next best thing to cappichino. Earl Grey and Darjeeling are too bitter for me. Love my iced tea too, as long as it's not too sweet. I don't get these people dumping so much sugar into a glass of tea that it looks like a snowglobe.

I usually only drink tea when I eat out at chinese restaurants and so I only know the chinese names for them with the exception of Jasmine and Chrysanthemum.

Earl Grey is good, but I recently tried Vanilla Caramel tea (made by Bigelow teas) and French Vanilla tea. YUM!!! And I accidently added diet vanilla coke to a glass of iced vanilla caramel tea - and it tasted good!

I like Constant Comment too!

Are you sure? I have three different brands of tea at home and they all have a caffine count on the side of the box. Could you explain a little more? I know herbal tea (most of them) don't have caffine, but regular tea has Earl Grey has 40mg of caffine in each cup...green tea has about 30mg.

lambslove, can you give me a lesson in what theine is?

Mmmmmm, tea. Going to exploit the cliche, but tea is quite simply the best drink ever!

Yeah, I wouldn't expect someone from England to have any bad feelings towards tea.
