What's your favourite tea?

[Coemgen]

I love tea. I love drinking it, smelling it, reading about it; I love the stuff!

So, out of curiosity, what is your favourite tea to drink?

Mine is loose leafe Twinning's Earl Grey. Mmmmm…

[James MacMillan]

Tea, like wine and scotch have the capacity to sooth the nerves.

Earl Grey and Red Zinger are two of my favorites at the top of my list!

I really like good Irish Breakfast teas. The loose leaf ones are the best. Stash is a really good brand

I'm not a tea snob as long as it is a good black tea that tastes good without anything added. My favorite is fresh black tea from Northern India. A friend's Mom has a tea plantation and as long as it hasn't been sitting around too long I like it. I've never purchased any tea off the shelf that can compare. I'm one of those guys that uses two teaspoons of tea per cup and steeps less than two minutes to maximize caffeine and minimize bitterness.

Lucky!

I'm the kind of guy who puts about 3 teaspoons in a HUGE mug and lets it sit for 5+ minutes (I like my tea STRONG!!! ). No sugar, occasionally some milk.

Unfortunately, at the dining hall on campus, all they have is Lipton, and they just have these tiny little 8 oz plastic "mugs."

Darjeeling, and Lapsang Souchong, loose leaf in a proper teapot. I once had some wonderful black tea from Russia, wish I could get some more.

I'm rather fond of the "Yorkshire Gold" brand, which is what's served at the British Tea House near my home in Tucson. They also sell it, and I've been quite happy with it on many a cold winter's night here in Flagstaff.

Memory flash, I grew up in Alaska and remember some great Russian teas. I'll have to send my Brother on a quest. I have my ex's teapot collection so no shortage there. However, I tend to use a French press because it is handy and I can dispense hot water directly from my espresso machine.

Pu'er is the best, and lapsang soochang. White tea, mu tang, is nice also. I brew it in a collection of yi xing pots.

[Beertigger]

Some of that Russian black is amazingly strong - and I like strong tea. But that'll make your cheeks pucker up.
