Today here in southern Oregon, it's a hot tea kind of day. I'm having orange spice tea with lemon, what's your favorite kind of tea?
This is the tea selection I offer guests at my BnB. I love tea! But my favorites are definitely the spicy chai tea blends.
@Sheannutt and 50 different kinds! LOL My guests love it
Iced tea. No sugar, no lemon. Why would anyone put sugar in their tea???? I'm at a loss on that
It depends on my mood, usually I'm an herbal gal. On occasion I will feel in the mood for Chai, Rooibos, Iced or Green.
Exactly what I thought, I also like peppermint mid afternoon if I'm not having coffee.
I currently have a green tea with pomegranate and blackberry that is amazing (not sweet or fruity as much as fragrant).
I also used to make my own loose leaf herbal tea with red raspberry leaf, alfalfa, and nettle. I'd add a pinch of ground ginger and nutmeg to spice it up and a little bit of brown sugar. I don't usually prefer sugar in my tea, though.
@Hebert54 I once worked a summer job with a gang of Irish navvies, digging trenches for a new pipeline. They added tea, sugar and milk to a big brown enamel kettle full of water, and left it to boil until breaktime. Put hairs on your chest (or so they said).
P.G.Tips. It's a make of English "English breakfast" char - the best IMHO (although that may be more than a little swayed by having been raised on it - in the long-ago days of childhood they offered a small picture card in every packet, 'British Wild Life', asian Wild Life', 'British Butterflies' and so on, which I collected and for which me mam bought that particular brand).
@Sheannutt It's an acquired taste, I suspect, especially among a nation of such determined coffee drinkers (and why is American coffee so strong?).
I am not much of tea drinker, but I am willing to change my preference if you convince me.?
