Hey guys and gals. I'm a Christian who adoressss loose leaf tea. Over the past year or so I've gotten into it so much that I couldn't possiblely go back to bagged tea, which now makes me feel kind of sick (excluding the kinds you order at coffee &tea shops like starbucks or peets).

I got really into tea in the same way I got into Jesus, in my college town. In my old college town of Davis, California there is a wonderful little tea place that is hidden in between two streets and its off the beaten path. They specialize in Middle Eastern/Persian teas and they are so good. It is a very quiet, peaceful little tearoom and I have a bunch of tea from there.

Theres also a tearoom in Berkeley (yes, that Berkeley) that specializes in Taiwanese teas. You can go there and spend all day and they don't mind at all. Its Asian theme/decour. I go there to study my spanish workbooks or pray quietly over tea.

Loose leaf is the best. Do any of my fellow Americans ever have just one regret that we gave up tea when we gained our independence? That one part makes me sad.

Oh and my friend had her baby shower a week ago at a tea place in SF. This was heaven on earth They even gave out tea leaves as party favors at the end and mine was a rooibos from South Africa. It tasted pretty good.

Oh! I was drinking ice tea, lol. Now I'm drinking grape juice. But I will be having a lovely cup of nettle tea with a fruit tea from Celestial Seasonings tomorrow along with some honey for taste. And then probably some Earl Grey! Yummy!

I kind of like cold brewed hibiscus (wild berry zinger) but I also have some loose leaf green tea that I brew in the sun for a few hours.

I am a member of the tea society at university and we go on tea room crawls, like bar crawls only without the drunken antics. I'm always open to trying a new tea as well as having a regular cup of my favourites. It can be loose or bagged, each has different merits that makes each variety delicious.

Oh tea .

 

[brinny]

i've had several cups of green tea, mixed with various healthy things today....

 

[Just Under Grace]

I'm more of a plain tea person.... but had rosehip tea with a spoonful of honey in this morning, and occasionally like other herbaly teas/infusions such as ginger and lemon...

 

[brinny]

just had a green tea based smoothie with ginger root and crushed pineapple

Hi all. I love tea especially English breakfast and Green Tea I can often find myself wondering into Whittard Chelsea to buy lots of tea and try out different flavours.

 

[Doctor Strangelove]

I drink green tea - I have had tea every day for about 30 years. I like a nice Japanese or Chinese variety of green tea, such as Sencha or China Green Tips. Once in a while I will treat myself to Matcha - that tea is, wow! I drink 5 to 6 cups on an average day. I don't like coffee and I avoid soft drinks. Sometimes I will have Kukicha, which is roasted tea leaves and stems from the plant.

 

[brinny]

^ all of it sounds lovely. i drink mostly green tea, and i use it as a base for smoothies and put it in soup, etc.

 

[Gailerina]

I love tea! I'm mainly switching to only drinking green, white, and herbal teas since they are the healthiest.
