Any Tea lovers in here?

Post by Hepburn »

I am not talking about Somali shaax. :down:

I recently discovered my love for tea and I want to expand my tea collection so please recommend any good tea products for me. I would highly appreciate it.

I'm drinking Twinning's lady grey tea.

Keyblade-- I bought an electric water kettle, the best money I ever spent. :up: Thinking of going to the Asian grocery store later this week to buy variety of green teas, I will definitely check out BOH tea. :up:

West-- Really? no hot chocolate? you're missing out woman.

I can't call myself a tea lover but lately I am into Chamomile (thanks to Alpha) and bought Chai just about an hour ago for the first time and it smells so amazing (due to the spices in it & thanks to Tush). :up:

I prefer Tazo brand teas, they have a variety of flavors , I like their Awake black teas. Try also flavors such plantation mint tea :up: , peppermint, earl Grey , Darjeeling and Sadaf tea made (from Srilanka) this last one is closest to Somali tea as it has cardamom in it. Tea from Kenya is good. There is one brand sold by a Somali lady and the packaging was designed by my niece.

Twinings is always a win. I prefer their English Breakfast blend. :up:

I lean toward any blend with an Assam undernote. Kenyan teas are also great. Anything with a full taste and feel to it, really.

You must be mistaken. I don't see herbals as teas. Don't think that was me.
