What's your favorite tea or herbal infusion?

I just discovered this and it's awesome.


I know this one for longer and it's delicious too.


I bought myself Basilur since I only had Ahmad Green tea with mint only as a part of a selection box and couldn't find it as a separate box. Big disappointment. Basilur is nowhere as good despite that it's loose leaf tea. It's super astringent, mint tastes sort of overgrown and old, definitely not as leaves picked while still fresh.




Ahmad > Basilur

Oh...apple tea is DELICIOUS!
Ive only had these ones:

I love the packaging on the last one... that's beautiful.


I do love peppermint tea.

Paricularly chocolate peppermint....which isnt chocolate at all, but a type of peppermint leaf.
Its smooth and refreshing atst.

Im also a sucker for fresh ginger tea with a little orange juice.

@OogieBoogie I like Twining's black 🙌🏻

@OogieBoogie That packaging is absolutely beautiful.

It's green but also throws these colorful reflections.


And this is the resealable bag:


I can't even throw it away yet. 😅😆 I'll store the tea in it until it gets damaged or I run out of tea. However, since it leaves my tongue so rough, I already know it'll take long. It's beautifully packed but the tea itself is disappointment. I don't even know if I had bad luck or this is how it's supposed to be. It has good reviews otherwise.
@CrazyMusicLover oh my !😍

Oh thats just stunning.


Secretly
...id do the same if the packaging was that pretty.


Maybe the rough one you could
Make up like a chai ?
Or....sweeten it with a little honey to make it smoother?

Gosh they are gorgeous

Green tea with lemon is what I have most of the day and before bed I like to drink tea with Lavender and Valerian.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@PatientlyWaiting25 Whoa! Valerian. 😳 how do you get used to the smell? 😅
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@CrazyMusicLover I like it but yeah it is kind of potent, the lavender I smell the most .
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@PatientlyWaiting25 I only have Valerian in the form of pills with its extract. We had tea at home once and I can't even say what things crossed my mind when I smelled it and didn't know it was Valerian. 😅🤦🏻‍♀ It's really pungent to me.
I mix and match the dried herbs I grow all summer.
Here we have peppermint, catmint, mugwort, lemon thyme and chamomile
@CrazyMusicLover it's amazing how strong the mint flavor comes through after drying
@robingoodfellow oh gosh....a real naturalist ! 👀

The only natural one i have is a jar of spearmint. And that's coz i used to nick over to the neighbors place when he wasnt there ....and steal his spearmint🥷.
(He never went outside, and its a rental)



Last tenant change they ripped it all out......heathens🫤
@OogieBoogie I never thought to beware of Spearmint Ninjas
Now I know better 😳
actual tea (Camellia sinensis):
- pu-ehr tea (unique category)
- Darjeeling (black)
- oolong tea
- gunpowder green tea (loose leaf)
- black or green tea with spearmint (including Maghrebi mint tea) (don't like peppermint)
- white or green tea with dried jasmine flowers
- Earl Grey tea (black)
- masala chai (black)
- any "breakfast" tea (black; "English" or "Irish" variants)

I can't recall if I've ever had Assam tea, or matcha; I never knew any of the brands of loose leaf teas I got or of the dried jasmine flowers when I had to make jasmine tea from loose leaf tea; otherwise the only brands I've used for prepackaged tea and tisane bags are Twinings and Bigelow


tisanes:
- chamomile
- hibiscus with rose hips
- spearmint, lemongrass and lemon verbena

I still want to try the blue pea flower tisane

I enjoy a cup of green or black tea, once a day . Not much into the others since I’ve developed more of a taste for coffee ☕ these days 😀
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Yourbeau Do you have some favorite brand? Also loose leaf or teabags?
Yourbeau · M
@CrazyMusicLover Twinings when I can find it 😀 . Tea bags! Looseleaf is to much fussing 😌
