Tea brands/kinds/etc?
I love tea, and I'm looking to try new kinds. What are some good kinds, and where can I get them (store, online, etc)? I live in America so storewise my best bets are grocery stores and maybe some specialty shops. I've been looking around online, but I'm not sure what to try.
Answers:
i love tea and look at tea selections at major retail stores. I've found that the best selection is at some grocers, Whole Foods Market, Cost Plus Marketplace.
worst selection is walmart and target. Expectedly so.
brands I stick to are Tazo and Celestial Seasonings.
If you are more into loose leaf teas, I've heard good things about www.adagio.com
kinds I like are green teas, white teas, and chai teas.
I like brands such as "Republic of Tea" and "Harney & Sons." Both can be found onlin, in decent grocery stores, and always in gourmet-type grocery stores. I've never seen either one at Walmart!
How much are you prepared to spend. One of the best makes of tea is French: Mariage Freres
You can buy small amounts of it in bulk from a shop in Dallas called the Cultured Cup.
I only use loose tea

i love tea, mostly green and white tea's. my favorite grocery store brand is Celestial Seasonings and their white tea with peach is delicious. I would also reccomend looking for health shops in your area they carry some good herbal teas and such. alright, enjoy!
This is the tea that we use in our day spa. They are lovely! I really like the cinnamon one & the pomegranate one (this one isn't listed but it can still be ordered.).
These teas are excellent and very flavourful.

i guess it depends on which kind of teas ur willing to try. alvita has a good selection of herbal teas as well as traditional medicines. you can always sweeten them with raw honey or stevia.
Some of the old standbys are Constant Comment (kind of an orange flavor, intensified by sweetener) Earl Grey, an aromatic,almost flowery, full flavored tea; Celestial Seasonings makes a bunch of really good herb teas, including Sleepytime and the "Zingers". TAZO makes some wonderful blends, too; I'm particularly fond of "Passion", which has hibiscus and passion flower. Mmmmm :)

tazo tea is really good
Try this- take 4 bags of lipton and put them in the coffee pot (where the coffeegoes)then take 2 heaping tbsp of instant tea and put it in the coffee pot to dissolve as the other tea is brewing. while this is going on take 1 cup sugar (more if you like really sweet tea-this is kind of an in between recipe) and put it in a gallon container. Then pour your brew into the container. Next rinse your pot(i dothis to keep the water bin clean) then fill your appliance again to brew using the same 4 bags as before. when done add water to top off the gallon. ps soft water makes tea look and taste better. If that doesnt suit your fancy then try the Fresh market. those stores are usually available in most large areas like cincinatti or naples, and they have excellent gourmet tea.
I usually just buy a box of lipton tea bags and make my own pitcher of tea either on the stove or in a coffee pot. But i buy my lipton tea at wal-mart but i'm sure other places sell it too like kroger etc. :)
I get teas from www.teacuppa.com. I like their rou gui oolong tea. one of the best oolong i tried so far. another one i like would be their oolong tie guan yin! this site has best oolong i have triedso far but of course i still have a lot of thier oolong to try!
green tea i would say xi hu long jing green tea.
ha, I'm in the same boat, I was given some tea from a family member and tried it, wow, really nice. It was just last week, and it has already replaced my morning coffee and I like to drink a cup at night.
Sorry, I'm a newbie too and don't have any info, except for the tea I have is called: Golden Ceylon Cafe Tea (I think Cafe Tea is the name brand and the Golden Ceylon is the type of tea). It's really really good.
Thanks for asking the question!
Celestial Seasonings makes so many great flavors,my favorite is peppermint.
Tazo Teas are amazing and come in a variety of blends.
My favorite herbal tea is African Red Bush which is orange-ish and fruity it pairs well with apples. My favorite green tea is Om, which is an organic green tea that is wet and not too acidic. My favorite black tea is Awake, which is just a non-perfumed black tea, very basic.
You can find these at Whole Foods, or any Starbucks in the area.
Wow! thats good for I am too :) If you like to try other kinds of tea, I would suggest the ones from the asian countries. It's perfectly clean and healthy.. they have lots of varieties to choose from. Plus it originated from those countries so go and explore the originals. You'll really like it :)
