Tea!

Does anyone here drink tea? If so, what kind? Do you buy loose leaf or bag? How long do you brew it, etc? I'm rather partial to Earl Grey and have had both loose and tea-bag varieties. I tend to prefer the loose leaf type as I find the flavour more intense and make sure it only steeps for about a minute or so. Just curious...and looking for other varieties to try.

For years, my wife and I would go visit my grandfather in England, and when we were there, we would drink PG Tips. We would come back to the states and try to find something comparable. A couple years ago, we found Tetley's "British Blend" was about as close as we could find (other than paying 4 times as much for PG Tips in an import shop). It's a tea-bag type; and we make it my grandfather's way. Put teabag in cup with a spoonful of sugar, pour in boiled water, add milk to taste, remove teabag after a minute or two. We've even got some of our friends who've moved to the states from England hooked on it... I was in Hong Kong in 1997, and at that time loved the green tea I found in many restaurants. Have never found an equivalent here though... Cheers, Carl

I've recently taken to drinking what my workmates call "A slice of tea": Tea made very very strong, with a tiny amount of milk! Joel Holdsworth

I drink Bünting Grünpack[^] black tea at least three times a day - breakfast, tea-time :), and lunch dinner. I don't like it too strong though - can't drink tea so strong it's already bitter. Whenever it is time for Japanese food, some green tea must not be missing. I also like Earl Grey - a great drink to just lean back and listen to the radio...

Hmmm. I think I've seen that over here... I don't think I've ever tried German tea before. Perhaps worth a try. Thanks! I agree about the Earl Grey. I too relax with a nice tea while listening to the radio.

Salada Green Tea. Sometimes I'll drink Green Chai, or even Ginseng Tea. If I sweeten my tea at all it's with honey. mmmm... speaking of which, I think I'll make a cup of Green Chai...:-D BW The Biggest Loser
