Answers:
They say a "true" tea lover prefers the taste of loose leaf rather than in the bags!. They say you get more of the complete flavor experience that way!. Much like many wine drinkers prefer drinking out of the goblet type glasses because it allows the flavors of the wine to mix better together!.

The TAZO that you are drinking is a good choice!. Celestial Seasonings is another good choice as well!. Zen is also a good pick to try as well!. In all honesty, I've had a few Lipton's that have been surprisingly good as well!. I have a box of Lipton White Tea (w/ the pyramid bags) blueberry/pomegranate!. It's quite good!. I mix it with one tablespoon of honey, a splash of lemon and a splash of lime, and it's quite a tasty evening drink!. I also enjoy African Sunset tea that they have at Starbuck's!. I was not a tea drinker at all!.!.!.I am a converted soda drinker that was brought to the wonderful world of tea by my girlfriend and I'm hooked!. Tea has so many benefits that it's a shame many more people aren't tea lovers! Www@FoodAQ@Com

My very favorite is Stash's White Tea with Lemon!. It comes in indivually wrapped tea bags, and comes in both decaf, and regular!. Other excellent teas are the Bigelows brand, try the Chai vanilla tea, green tea with tangerine, and white tea with orange!.!. These can be found at most supermarkets, and sometimes even in Target!. Happy tea time to you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I recommend loose teas with a floral scent/flavor, jasmine is a favorite!. I get all of my tea from a local tea shop, so hopefully you can find an equivalent!. I also really like the tea they serve in Chinese restaurants, which I found at my supermarket, surprisingly enough!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

The best tea you can drink is Tetley - but you can only buy it in Canada not in the USA!.
I send boxes down south every month to my sister in Florida!.
they sell in in little round tea bags and I steep it in a pot of boiling water, I add a few drops of 1% partially skimmed milk!. If I don't have my cup of tea every day -
I don't feel my day is complete!.

I suggest green loose leaf tea!. There is a large variety you can choose from!. I use some cardamom in my tea!. I buy it whole and grind a little for freshness!. I put a quarter of teaspoon in a termose!. I've also bought a 3" loose leaf tea ball mesh to put the loose leaves in!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Absolutely use loose leaf tea!. The flavor's AMAZING! I make mine in a French Press coffee maker (much easier than a tea pot)!.!.!.!. Look in your area for a good tea shop, international shop (Russian tea is great), or British shop (who knows more about tea!?)!.

P!.S!. If you must, add MILK (not cream) and sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tazo Zen is pretty good!. Try Kalahari honeybush!. But my FAVORITE brand is Numi!. It is all organic, and has some amazing flavors!. For a lower cost variety, try Celestial Seasonings!. Stay away from lipton and twinings, they are usually artificially flavored and unpleasant!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I prefer tea bags because they are easier to use!. Try Bigelow's English Breakfast or Tetley's Decaf!. Those are my favoites!.I also like anything with a peach or orange flavor!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
