    Default Addicted to tea

    I think all I drink anymore is tea...and maybe the occasional dark beer. Must be my English blood. I grew up drinking it and now that it's cold out, I don't want to drink anything that's not warm.
    My favorites are Ty-phoo, Earl Grey and Fenugreek. In the summer I love Arizona Green Tea. You'll see piles of cans in my recycling bin.

    Does anyone else live on this stuff? What are your favorite teas? I want a new flavor to get addicted to.

    I love Earl Gray. I love all tea as well!
    I drink Arizona Diet Green tea on a daily basis, it replaced my diet pepsi addiction! I feel so much better since switchign to tea, much less bloated and gassy, lol.

    I also drink Fennel tea, which taste pretty good and really helps reduce bloat. I like Dandilion tea, it's good for cleansing. I have a lot of different flavors of tea at my house to choose from.

    How do you like your tea? I like honey or sugar, and no milk. Oh, and I love tea and toast for breakfast, I have had that since I was a child.

    I love any hibiscus tea! It's sweet and fruity with no caffeine. Delicious.

    Also love Earl Grey with a bit of honey and almond milk. And that Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea, and peppermint tea. I don't drink tea very often but I do really like it!

    I am a tea ADDICT! I drink several cups of PG Tips a day (standard black tea, but excellent). And usually some Earl Grey (Whittards if I can find it!) and Red Zinger. I love the zingers.

    I grew up with tea too. Almost no one in my family drinks coffee.

    Peach detox, eh? Must try that one. And hibiscus sounds awesome too. I love fruity teas. I used to always drink the raspberry Celestial Seasonings.

    I almost always sweeten with honey, agave nectar or Splenda. I'm not into sugar unless that's my only option.

    I LOVE tea! I'm drinking some right nw and I think its about my 6th or 7th cup today. I don't usually drink so much but I'm really sleepy today and have a lot to do so I need the caffine. I usually just drink normal tetley tea with one sugar and soya milk. I do go through phases where I love chai but I always go back to the original.

    I've been addicted to Genmai-cha for over a year now, my sister turned me onto it. It's a green tea with roasted brown rice that gives it an unique flavor that isn't too strong. Very comforting to me.

    I looove tea. I crave Jasmine green as much as coffee, and I grew up in Fitzroy, which is like the cafe mecca of Australia. Lately I've been enjoying 'quiet child tea' which really settles my IBS. I don't really like powdered or sweetened teas, I like to buy paper bags of roughly cut herbs with whole rosehips or echinacea flowers-Yum.

    So I just made an excuse to run to the store and buy some new tea. LOL

    I got Sweet Ginger Peach, Morrocan Red Pomagranite Rooibos and some decaf Earl Grey.

    There is a really fancy expensive tea shop near my house that sells custom blends and delicious mixes. I have them blend me some strawberry fruit tea for my bird (how spoiled is she?) and I always get their different Darjeeling teas... here's a picture of a couple of them. YUM!

    (The Apple Pie one ACTUALLY tastes like Apple Pie! OMG... I put cinnamon in it during winter and it's soooo delicious)

    I like earl gray with milk and sugar. It reminds me of good times with my mom, who grew up in England. I think all Brits love tea.

    Ohhhh Lordy! It must be my Russian Blood but I LOVE tea! I grew up drinking tea. My mom would pour some out into a small saucer to let it cool faster and I would drink it up, saucer-full after saucer-full. Oh the joy!

    Now my cabinet is stocked with all sorts of tea, from A to Z. Gotta love it.

    Becareful with the fenugreek. To much of it, is not good! But ,,, Earl grey is yummi.

    I also got a bad habit of drink aussam black tea. Oh it is so good but bad for me.

    I don't think you can OD on fenugreek in tea form! I hear if you take more than 3000mg of the seed in pill form you can get migraines. And it makes me smell like maple syrup.

    OMG, an entire shelf of my pantry is devoted to tea. And I only have three shelves... I LOVE earl grey, Twinings Constant Comment, Typhoo reminds me of my grandmother (and it has an awesome story behind it), the Tazo teas are super tasty... I drink most of my black teas with milk and sugar, except one that my friend brought me back from St. Petersburg, that's so good it doesn't need anything!
