In more seriousness, teasy tea (formerly portsmouth teas) www.teasy.com is a nice place in the New England area that carries a lot of good teas. One of my favorites that I can't get anywhere else is their blend that they call "Midsummer Night's Dream" - it's a blend of Black and Green tea with bits of dried fruit. It's sweet without sugar and really delicious. Great for making iced tea, too. | ||

I watched the teasy.com intro vid and was like waiting for the tea. | ||

Is it true the longer you steep white tea the more antioxidants you get? If so I would probably steep longer than 60 seconds. EDIT: Great thread btw :D | ||

I drink Dragon Well tea everyday (Xihu Longjing variant from Meijiawu). Even the Queen has been there before. My current stock will probably last me another year. Stocked up on it when I visited China back in 2010. | ||

Although it always unnerves me to walk across customs with a dufflebag of tea. | ||

"Puts on top hat" The tea party is the best tea... + Show Spoiler + Brisk = best actually, that or Tim Horton's green tea... IT IS TO DIE FOR, real tea (non sugar coated) I'd go with Almond tea | ||

B. I come from the very British tradition of Earl Grey tea with milk and sugar, although any more than half a teaspoon of sugar is gross. C. My Grandma in Newfoundland has always done the 'all day teapot' thing. If you aren't aware of this, how it works is in the morning you make a pot of tea with 2 teabags. Then midmorning, when the tea has been drunk, you add more builing water and two more teabags. At lunchtime, more water and more teabags. Again at midafternoon, then finally in the evening more water and two more teabags. At the end of the day you get a pot with 10 moldering bags sitting in the bottom and tea that is, well, rather strong. D. Rooibos is not a type of black tea. It's a herbal tea made from a specific plant from South Africa. To be fair, it's often blended with black teas, and usually drank the same way (milk n sugar), but rooibos itself doesnt come from the tea plant. It's also fantastic. Red tea really should be considered its own kind of tea, like green tea and black tea - or at least it is at most tea stores here in Edmonton. Edit: E. I needed this thread. Edit 2: F. Breakfast tea is gross. | ||
