DeltaAro Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Do you drink tea? I mean camellia sinensis. ? Sorry, no Yerba Mate. From Assam to Matcha to Yin Zhen! I never drink... coffee. I prefer 2nd flush Darjeeling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananaslug Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I drink both tea and coffee but I have a pretty big selection of teas! I'm a big fan of the Dimond Jubilee tea blend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blend was created to celebrate Elizabeth II being on the throne for 60 years, so a lot of different tea producers sell it, but most of them are from Commonwealth countries. I usually go up to Canada to buy it when I need more since I'm right by the U.S/Canada border, but you can also get it online in a few places. 12 hours ago, DeltaV said: All black? Or also green and white? Mostly black teas, but some green and white (although most of those are gifts from other people since I don't really drink green and white teas). I also have a lot of berry teas because that's what's most of the local farmers here sell, but I tend to save those for making ice tea in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad! Oolong is good, though I like it more on the black side. I like the true milky oolong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaAro Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Today I tried a tea from Nepal and one from the Nilgiri region. The Nepal tasted exactly like a Darjeeling, and the Nilgiri exactly like a high grown Ceylon. Probably I overestimated my skills as a tea connoisseur.

Oolong and Jasmine are pretty much the only camellia sinensis tea I drink (though if I can get my hands on my mother's expensive white tea I do drink that too, I forget the name but it is amazingly creamy on the tongue) I have a range of other infusions and 'teas' that I drink because oolong isn't for all occasions (either herbs or rooibos) The oolong I am right into now is the Shui Hsien/Shui Xian/Narcissus which was presented to me by a tea matcher because I used to live near a fancy fancy Chinese tea shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personallypantastic Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Jasmine and African Breakfast are my two favorites, and I also never drink....coffee. I gotta be careful about how often I drink those two because if I drink it too often, I'll get sick of them, and I won't be able to drink 'em for a while.

Chibi Sam Winchester Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I usually drink a cup of tea every day, and I would never drink....coffee. Chai tea is one of my favorites because it's so good with milk and honey. Peppermint is also good if you need something calming before bed, just a suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspecofstardust Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I love love love tea but I do also really enjoy coffee. I always have so many different kinds of tea on hand but I particularly enjoy spiced black teas like chai and fruity/hibiscus herbal teas. This year I'm working on starting a tea garden! I'm going to try to grow lavender and mint. We'll see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewix Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Not often but I love trying new stuff and the fresh herbal stuff is great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Oh I love tea. Coffee I can have one of in the morning but it makes me too energetic to focus on anything. Tea is my absolute favourite. I am very new to the idea of herbal teas or any of that though so I have a habit of putting milk in them on instinct then regretting my life choices.

Storm_leopardcat Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I do not know much about British tea(s), or other types of teas. But I'm not a fan of the chai (whether it be separate chai or mix chai) that is drunk here in Pakistan/south Asia, nor do I particularly like doodh pati (a form of chai, one might say). As for coffee, I like it, and drink it occasionally, or I seldom drink it. Somewhere between the two. Turkish qava is nice. Also, after drinking Black coffee for the first time a while ago, I am afraid I can no longer go back to other forms of coffee drinks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the blending is the only thing that actually happens in Britain. Not the growing. 🙃 But blends usually have a lower quality than pure teas. Pure teas from India should be called Indian teas, IMHO. High quality Darjeeling 2nd flush remains my favorite. I like it even more than Chinese blacks (though they have a higher prestige).

I only know Indian chai, which is heavily flavored with cardamom, cinnamon etc. They mostly use a very poor quality CTR black tea for this. But it doesn't matter anyway with this enormous amount of spices. A cheap but actually very great black tea sold in Middle Eastern countries is Do Ghazal Tea (from Ceylon). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the drink that is considered tea in Britain. Basically just boiled water with tea leaves and maybe some sugar, if I recall correctly? And by other teas I mean stuff like Earl Grey, Oolong, White tea, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acearospec Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I like many kinds of teas; different teas for different types of meals & just tea by itself. My current favorites are rooibos & also purple teas. https://justea.com/pages/what-is-purple-tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
