Tea

[jessie]

I love tea.

I love afternoon tea in a big cast iron teapot with nice white china cups and saucers with friends.

I love my morning tea with orange peel and hibiscus.

I love my evening valerian tea.

I love my inbetweeny tea of red berries or just simple redbush.

Am I an actual mental or tea-tastic? . . . . . (or after reading this post back, decidedly British and middle class sounding)

[perfect.ana]

haha about the British!
I'm sure you're not the only one.
I LOOOVE tea as well...I drink it more than water!

I drink all the tea my uncle sends me from Germany (usually fruit), I love the Japanese green tea that my friend's parents bring for me (they make SPECIAL green Japanese tea because it's made, crafted I can even say, in that village by the Fuji mount), and I love usual Earl Gary with lemon, and I love Sage tea!

ah...ah all this tea talking made me want to get some tea now...*puts kettle on*
:)

[iliketurtles]

Big steaming mugs of tea are where it's at :) Camomile, peppermint, lemon and ginger (LOVE that one) or just good old Barry's tea with a dash of soymilk!

I'm from Ireland btw, I believe the only country apart from China to rival England in the tea consumption stakes :D

[Maia]

Peppermint tea is my absolute favorite, it's got to the point that I have a little pouch for the tea bags that I carry around college!! It's a good way to fight snack cravings when i'm in college and tastes amazing!!! Also boiled water is free so saves money double yay!! :D

[skinny1doll]

My fav is Jasmin green tea ! (I'm not british lol !!!! :D)

[Ophelia]

I like normal tea, but am not drinking much of it at the moment due to the calorie worries.. =[

Sadly I really don't like fruit tea!

& haha, love the comment about being British! :P

I ADORE TEA!!! it's like my favourite, everything really. Oh my.. when i was a kid, i used to sneak sips of my dads tea :) I love it like a builder: strong ; )
I'm terribly British when it comes to tea.

[habanerotan]

I'm a big tea fan too. I don't like hot tea. But I go through at least 2 pitchers a day of iced herbal tea.

After a bad puking incident I hate green tea. Cranberry is my favorite followed by Celestial Seasonings mandarin orange spice and tropic of strawberry. I actually used to live next to the Celestial Seasonings plant. You can buy dirt cheap tea there. But sometimes the smell would be so strong it'd make me sick. I couldn't touch tea for the entire time I lived in that apartment.

[HoneyHeart]

The only tea i drink is cherry. Delicious!!!

[dreamxonxaxwish]

I love tea! Iced tea, though. Not the warm British kind. :) Haha. Give me a big ol' glass of Texas sweet tea and I'm a happy girl.

Though, I can't have it while I'm whitening my teeth. :( But I still have my green tea.

[Ophelia]

I've never actually had iced tea..

[Vulcan]

im American and in the morining i drink a green tea with 1 tbsp of honey and 1 packet of calorie free sweetener
in the afternoon i have one chai tea with just 2 packets of sweetener
in the evening i have a chamomile tea to help me relax for bed and i have it plain
also tea is totally GUILT FREE!
if ur like me and u can drink most kinds with just a small bit of calorie free sweetener theres 0 cals and lots of antioxidants :D
i like to add honey in the am for a sugar boost but theres only about 65 cals per tbsp :)

[Goldingsfly]

Let us not forget coffee in all of this .
Oohhh , I don't think I could actually RUN without coffee , I must be some kind of caffinee addict . but it seriously is the bees knees .
And I am british !! . ahaa :L . x

[mermaid]

i love tea!

my favorites are:
- peppermint tea
- jasmine green tea
- hibiscus tea
- cinnamon tea
- earl gray tea

mmm...

i'm also a big coffee drinker. i just found some zero calorie vanilla syrup at Target. last night i made coffee + vanilla syrup and froze it overnight... first thing this morning i took it out of the fridge, and by the time i got to work my frozen coffee was perfect and icy! :D

[weezyf]

ooo i love tea! it totally helped me big time when i got down to my LW.
i find it too hot for it now, but when the weathers cooler my favorites are earl gray, lady grey, lemon ginger and peppermint.
also i swear by a mug of green tea (honey-ginsing green tea by tetley is SO NICE) for brekky. gets thhat metabolism kicking.

xxxoo

[bittergreen]

Yay tea! :) *points to avatar*

I've been drinking it since I was about two years old -- my whole family is a little tea-obsessed. :P I usually drink loose-leaf tea these days; it's soooo much tastier than bagged tea. My personal favourite is a good strong Irish breakfast, with English breakfast and pure Assam coming in a close second. Though I never used to be the biggest fan in the past (mostly because I like my tea really strong), I've started to appreciate green and white teas as well. One of my friends and I got hugely into tea when we were in our teens and I've read and learnt just about everything under the sun about it: its history, production, consumption, traditions, etc. One of my dreams is to go to India and visit a tea estate someday. My fiancé and I have also talked about opening a tea house in the future; the funny thing is, he wasn't even much of a tea drinker till he met me -- he claims he just hadn't had properly-made tea till I showed him how, and now he's as much of a tea-freak as I am. :P

[KayKay fan (kinda)]

I drink Japanese teas, such as the ones found on O-Cha.com. They are uber fresh and certainly a higher quality than a teabag.

I love them too! there is this "roasted bancha twig tea" which I find absolutely fabulous.

[zebedeelovesme]

I bloody love tea. My English teacher said she's putting a kettle in our classroom and i almost peed myself.
Chai has got to be my favorite :) mm

[bittergreen]

I bloody love tea. My English teacher said she's putting a kettle in our classroom and i almost peed myself.
haha, that's awesome! :)

[secret.fighter]

Yay! I love tea! Loose leaf teas are best with flavor but I'm usually too lazy so I stick to tea bags xD. Some of my favorites are Yogi detox, jasmine, green tea, masala chai, vanilla rooibos, pomegranate, mango ceylon...the list goes on and on! Because tea is that awesome! =D

[annaindietland]

okay, I hate to tell you this, but we brits arent as tea obsessed as everyone makes us out to be, but on the subject of tea, is it true that tea is a really good way to fill yourself up in the mornings

[foreverhopeful]

BTW to Ophelia: tea has no calories. (unless you add sugar, honey or milk)

[bittergreen]

Yeah, that's the awesome thing about tea -- it's pretty much calorie-free. I don't like mine without anything in it (I mostly drink strong black tea, like Irish or English breakfast), so I just use Splenda and skim milk. Tastes amazing and is still low-cal. :)

[bonesesdecorus]

my fav too... whats that got to do with being british?
My fav is Jasmin green tea ! (I'm not british lol !!!! :D)

[demoralizacja]

I love tea!
every morning I drink 3 cups of tea:
green tea
chamomile tea
melissa herbal tea

then I drink that again before sleep.
during the day I drink water

[rgbeautifulrose]

I drink a cup every day, but does it really help you to lose weight? If you don't add anything is it guaranteed to be zero calories? How much do you have to drink for it to actually help you to lose weight? And is it only green tea that helps? Anyone have any answers...? THANX!!!

[bittergreen]

Can anyone ever enjoy anything without connecting it to weight/weight gain/weight loss? For goodness sakes... can't drinking a cup of tea just be about the fact that it tastes good? *sigh*

[carlinhomes]

There are different kinds of teas in the market .black tea,green tea and red tea .some people have a habit to drink a bad tea .Tea is one item that every one looks like to drink it .It is very helpful to improwise your efficiency in work .

[demoralizacja]

Tea makes me happy and is a quick distraction when I go in the kitchen. Instead of going for the bagels I just go in the cabinet above them and grab some tea. It always helps, plus its warm and delicious. My favorite has to be orange-spice (its a black tea).

[not hungry]

Right now i'm obsessed with Tea Tonic's Dark Chocolate black tea. YUMM! Better than actually EATING dark chocolate in my opinion.

[xjustholdmex]

Mmm, I've been meaning to buy a chocolate flavoured tea for ages. I havn't see it around though, only online.

[AwkwardSilence]

Yumm! That sounds really good.

[MaggieRose]

I like tea too. Green and Black is what I usually drink. The flavored ones usually don't taste flavored to me, unless it's like a spice tea.

[tweedledum]

well I love tea and i'm a very poor american, lol. I just got done drinking some black tea, it was delicious.

[Keshawn]

Good stuff.
I don't take black tea but i take green tea because i think green tea can boost your metabolism and it helps fight cancer. I think it is recommended to drink at least 3 or 4 cups a day.

[The Hatter]

Hey am too tea lover.I drink tea more than five times a day.Whenever i got headache or i do not feel good then i do take tea.Even sometimes i drink a green tea which is very good for health.

Best tea in the world markfield. (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.(Internet))

[bettybetty]

chocolate tea from yogi tea
licorice tea is good too

just ran out of chocolate tea bohoo

[bettybetty]

but no it's not as amazing/unbelievable/insane bliss/tastorgasmic as real solid fat and sugar chocolate
but i do love chocolate tea

[Colin]

Hi dear,
Green tea is more effective out of all kind of tea.
Green tea is very beneficial for the persons who want to lose the weight.
It burns the fat and reduces the extra weight. It also controls the cholesterol level.
It prevents from the heart diseases and keeps the skin fresh.

[bethatgirl]

Ditto on the breakfast tea with skimmed soy milk. I wish I could get into herbal teas to cut the milk cals but they just don't do it for me like her majesty's finest!!

[studioJ]

haha. I wish I knew I had more of an interest in tea.. I have green tea honey sometimes... but it better than coffee--I don't like the taste. Tea.. nice on a warm day^^

[arizona45]

Mmmmm, I really like chai tea (with almond milk!), white tea and especially herbal tea with agave syrup.

[brijeeet]

I haven't met a tea I didn't like!

Chai is my favorite to drink hot, Earl Grey is my favorite iced.

[Anawifeandmom]

I like blueberry and peach tea, but old fashion hot tea with a tiny bit of Splenda and some milk is my fav.
