| Post subject: | Varieties of Tea in My Cupboard |
About four months ago I quit drinking coffee, and made the switch to tea because the coffee was doing a number on my stomach. I had always enjoyed tea, and as such, always had some on hand, but now I have a whole section of my cupboard devoted to nothing but tea... It's as though I have a freaking vendor in here, constantly replenishing and jockeying for display space with the cereal guy. Every time I go to the market, I pick up something new that looks yummy. In the interests of full disclosure, here's my list: Bigelow: Cinnamon Stick Bigelow: Cozy Chamomile Herb Tea Bigelow: Cozy Chamomile Herb Tea with Mint Bigelow: Green Tea with Pomegranate Bigelow: Spiced Chai Celestial: Raspberry Celestial: Country Peach Celestial: Wild Berry Celestial: Blueberry Celestial: Black Cherry Carrington Tea: Green Tea with Lemon Salada: Original Blend Black Tea Twinings: Irish Breakfast Tea World of Tea: Green Tea What types of tea do you have in your kitchen? |

I have a 5oz. sack of loose-leaf Earl Gray Imperial, my absolute favorite. Varieties of black, green, white and chai teas are available as backups when I'm feeling lazy. |

I think my wife has 3-4 varieties. I don't drink tea, just coffee, beer, and water, with the occasional single malt. Though not necessarily at the same time. |

Taamar: I fear that is what I am likely becomming. On a side note, I think we have the same crock-pot. |

Taamar wins, but I used to beat Rynar. I've been making a conscious effort to not buy more tea until I've consumed almost all of what i have. |

I push it on friends whenever possible. Anyway, I'm not trying to stop buying, today I picked up Tazo Cucumber White. |

I don't actually have tea bags in my cupboard apart from green, red or black. I have lots of little containers with raw ingredients which I mix and match according to what I feel. I also have a tiny little tea glass which sits on top of a little candle thingy. List of ingredients which are currently in my cupboard. Honey Dried lemon slices Dried orange peels Dried chrysanthemum Dried jasmin Dried ginseng sticks Dried mixed red berries Dried peach slices Dried apple slices Cinnamon sticks Dried rose buds and of course milk ^-^ |

Thank you, sir. I would recommend calling: 877-617-9577. Some of the info on the above site looked out of date so I called them. They are working on a new site, but it is not up yet. They are happy to mail out orders and even offer to mail out samples. |

I'm gonna sound really prudish and i'm sorry... but most fruit flavoured tea bags use fruit extracts (or man made tasting like fruit additives) rather than actual dried fruit and it's just not as good as the real thing >.< |

Republic of Tea Alpine Flowers: Blackcurrant leave and berries, rosehops, hawthorne berries, blueberries, hawthorne leaves, blackcurrant juice, mullein flowers, ender blossoms, heather flowers I agree that I don't want any of the garbage in my tea, but I also don't know that I'd want to have ALL the ingredients in ALL the teas I love! |

Bah! Tea bags are for uncouth Philistines, Cretans, and Britney Spears fans. Yeah, I'm one of the most pathetic forms of humans, a tea geek.  In my figurative cupboard I have the following, all loose-leaf:
As you can see I'm not a fan of herbals or flavored tea. Lipton tea bags are swill and better suited for flushing poo down your toilet than drinking. |

Oh man, I'm an unsophisticated cur when it comes to tea I see! Twinings Earl Grey. Tea bags, add a teaspoon and a half of honey. |

I generally don't allow Lipton in the house--I don't want it tainting the good stuff. If I do have it, though, I only serve it to my mother-in-law. |
