Any teas to recommend?

I have discovered apricot and peach from Elmwood Inn Teas and it is so good! I has distinct flavors of each and it doesn't have that artificial taste to it.

I think it will make wonderful iced tea!

Anything new in your tea stash?

In the past year I have found the Tea Forte selections. You can get them directly from their website or thru Amazon. They have a unique shape and I love the herbal choices. The pyramid shape with the leaf on top is fun to use.

There are many size boxes to get and I go directly to their website and customize my choices, just getting ones I tried before and like.

If you like a tea with a great flavor, my fave is Bigelow Lemon Lift, comes in regular and in decaf. Not just ordinary black tea with lemon, it has added spices, and is delish !!!

@Sooner - are you looking for iced tea recs or it doesn't matter? I like Raspberry Zinger, good hot or cold. And, in the winter I'm partial to Stash Licorice.

@Sooner This is our favorite tea. I used to buy it at a Middle Eastern market in Syracuse NY. Haven't been there in a few years so I don't even know if the market is still there. I see Amazon sells it but I have no idea how fresh it is...DW

My new favorite discovered over the winter is Republc ot Tea Blood Orange Cinnamon. They also have a plain blood orange I am thinking of trying for summer ice tea.

I like Twinings Lady Grey, it is a black tea with a slight citrus flavor.

@dancingwoman English Tea Store website sells Ahmad tea! They are a reliable supplier.

I've had one of the little red bus tins forever in the laundry room and one in the closet for loose change!

Good luck! Yes, it is good tea.

@riley1 It could be either! Very often I make a pot of tea to have some hot then use the rest for iced tea.

Speaking of raspberry--I LOVE raspberries! Especially on waffles with just a tiny bit of maple syrup! Maybe a good combo!

I like PG Tips which is a black tea. Locally, I can buy it at most supermarkets, but I have also seen it at Cost Plus World Market.

It is an English tea, and I drink it strong with cream and sugar or stevia.

I have been drinking this tea for more than fifteen years, every afternoon.

I agree that Tea Forte are among the best! Excellent quality but a bit expensive....I think they are worth it.

Twinings Honeybush, Mandarin, & Orange.

The aroma is divine and so is the taste. It would be really refreshing iced in the summer.

My most favorite tea is Buddha Teas! I love their Hibiscus & Camomile ones. The Hibiscus is for blood pressure which I have 2 cups a day.

@Sooner Where did you get this tea? I don't see it on Amazon.

For years, my favorites were Tazo Zen tea and hibiscus tea. I’d make the Zen both as hot and iced. A couple years ago, I started brewing my iced tea from dried spearmint leaves that I buy in bulk. Earlier this year we stayed with our son for a couple weeks to help him while he began his recovery and recuperation from knee surgery. He had a variety of different teas in his cabinet. I discovered Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon tea and loved it so much that I set up a subscription on Amazon. The tea sachets come in cute metal tins but some varieties come in other packaging. I just ordered their “Mother’s Day” (pretty tin). I’m trying to come up with ideas to repurpose the tins when I use up the tea.

I'm not much for flavored tea, but my DIL got me a sampler of Taylors Of Harrogate Tea for my birthday.

The Lemon & Orange Tea is really, really good.

I love the Chamomile, too.
