Tea--In House!

Sooner · ‎03-10-2010

I am drinking a lot of Assam tea in the mornings now. I am very fond of Seajuli from Upton Tea. I like it strong wtih milk. It's just tea! Not bitter or tanic, but with a rich tea flavor.

We also have a couple of packages of green tea with Honeydew flavor and one with Pear that we are drinking--my hubby likes flavored tea better than I do!

So what's on your tea time, while we are having more time for tea maybe? Rather than afternoon tea, I'm sipping while compiling a WalMart pickup list!

@Sooner - flavored tea must be a hubby thing! Mine likes it too.

I'm not a fan of flavored teas, I like my plain old Tetley British Blend.

@CelticCrafter Well that is odd! I am not a coffee drinker either. I like iced coffee with a lot of milk, and I like espresso or a cappuccino or latte, but regular coffee? No. Ick!

I like lots of teas but I really like it dark and strong. I might have finally found the one that might walk across the table by itself. It is Buffalo Blend by Celestial Seasonings. It'll be in my mug tomorrow.

I generally rotate between English Breakfast, English Teatime, & Darjeeling. However, it seems a lot of stores are pushing the black teas aside for green teas and what I call frou frou teas. I guess that is what you are calling flavored teas? Hubby likes the Tazo Green Tea w/Ginsing. I don't care for Green Tea at all. My Publix has quit carrying Darjeeling altogether, and Kroger & Target were both out of it. So I picked up something called Breakfast Blend to try in place of the Darjeeling for the immediate future.

I also have a Russian blend given to me by a Russian lady called Czar Nicholas that is very nice, has a bit of a fruity flavor. It's a loose tea, so I don't often think to drink it.

Hubby & I drink Twinings Irish Breakfast tea - love it.

I drank Red Rose all my life. Then we went to London in 2013 and loved the Twinings tea there. When we came back I bought a sampler box of different Twinings tea and we liked the Iriah Breakfast the best.

I am drinking more lately lol.

@Icegoddess I might try something with "Afternoon" blend in the name for a closer substitute to Darjeeling. I think Darjeeling has a more refined and almost delicate flavour (lemon and honey) when put up against any "Breakfast" blend which I find make a more robust and bracing (milk and sugar) cuppa.

I have not seen Buffalo Blend but sounds like I would like it. I wish Celestial Seasonings would make more samplers so I don’t have to buy a whole box to try one cup. I also like mine dark and strong a piece of orange peel in it. No sugar, crew, etc. Then It's not tea anymore!

I'm a long time Upton Tea customer and love Assam teas. I'll have to try this one.

@FranandZoe Every year before Christmas, when it is on sale, I order the big jars and gift sets and some things for ME from Twinings in London.

They have some teas not for international sale, and maybe it is my imagination but some of their teas seem stronger or different than the ones we get here.

The big glass jars filled with tea bags are beautiful!
