My current kick is teas with mint, since they are really good as is (without sweetener, milk, lemon etc). Plus, they are simultaneously warm AND refreshing!
Black: Bigelow Plantation Mint
Green: Tazo Zen
Herbal: Peppermint (Celestial seasonings is really good, but most will taste pretty much the same, since the only ingredient is peppermint. You could probably just steep some peppermint leaves...)
I just read an article today that new research is out that chamomile tea will help Type 2 diabetes! In fact, the research is so encouraging a drug that is chamomile-based may be created to treat Type 2 diabetes!!
I think I am going to add that to my list of "favorites".
I'm an earl grey fiend, in fact I'm just about to go out and get some because I'm all cleaned out. Trader Joe's is my favorite for bags, Tealuxe for the loose variety.
Also high on my list are peppermint and spearmint teas in all variations and various forms of chai - currently my favorites are Bigelow Vanilla Chai and Celestial Seasonings Sweet Coconut Thai, but I'm switching around a lot.
Occasionally, I'm having green and white tea epsiodes which never seem to last long, but while they last I'm a fool for Gen Mai Cha (with toasted rice flavor), silver needle and jasmine tea.
Ten Ren is my favorite brand of tea. They have a website you can order from or some Asian markets carry them. The Mountain High Oolong is my favorite! It is hands down the best oolong I've ever had.
Bigelow Jasmine Green. I also go to a tea store to buy whole leaf tea. I like one called Organic Jasmine Pearls. Very mild green tea. I have a little mesh tea infuser that I use with the whole leaf teas.
During the cooler months, I have a mug of tea at my side constantly. Of course, that's after my morning pot of coffee is gone. My favorites during the day are PG Tips and Trader Joe's green tea w/jasmine. In the evening I switch to Celestial Seasons Chamomile and Sleepytime.
What's your favorite tea?
This just in.....
