Tea Drinkers

[Brugs]

However, I am, first and foremost a french roast drinker, preferably from a press pot

My personal favorite is loose lapsang souchong, purchased by the gram from a local tea emporium around here called Tea Grotto. Don't think I've ever imbibed while snusing but I feel it would be magic with Ettan or Grov.

Lipton has finaly woke up .. Fresh Brewed in a to go bottle True Leaf i think its called .. tea water sugar or unsweetened .. tea water BEAST !!

A bit off topic but unbelievable good if you've a hard time sleeping. Rooibos and pellet hops.

I take a teabag of Rooibos and 4-6 pellet hops (Used for brewing beer) in a "metallic teabag". After a few minutes you will feel loose and amazing!

Avid tea drinker here! I do enjoy my coffee as well but I drink far more tea than coffee. The usual is Typhoo extra strong but I really enjoy my loose black/english breakfast teas. Not a fan of green tea though iv found a few berry and fruity blends that I adore!

Love peach ice tea as well, beautiful stuff!!

I like espresso best, a double is my wake up drink, and an occasional double if I'm out. I have been trying different teas for sipping, and like plain old Lipton best.

Yerba mate does taste like crap but the effects can be very nice and correct me if i'm wrong there is a synergy between tobacco and yerba mate. If you don't like the taste like me but you like the effects you can drink it cold as a 'terere' mixed with fruit juice.

Green tea is caffeinated though. A small amount (about 30-40 mg in comparison with a cup of coffee that has 100-250 mg per cup/mug). Yerba Mate sounds very interesting, and I've actually tried it a few times a long ago. Tasted like crap from what I can remember but had an interesting effect. Will have to look it up again.

I like peach yerba, very refreshing. Black tea is the way forward if you want off coffee, can't go wrong with a nice cup of English Breakfast tea IMO.

I've done it, but I just like the taste of coffee better.

Drink caffinated tea rather than green tea, if its watery then it cleary hasn't brewed long enough as it shouldn't be watery. Fruit teas if you leave the bag in are very refreshing or, thanks to Ansel and Pris, I discovered yeba mate tea, will give you some caffiene but its a good sub.

Has anyone substituted their coffee drinking for tea? I would like to hear your insights since I'm trying to cut back on my caffeine use (after I quit smoking I have become a pure caffeine wimp and get the shakes and jitters after as little as two mugs for some reason). Don't know what the hell happened, but I just can't tolerate the java anymore.

I love the smoother caffeine buzz from tea though. It doesn't leave me fatigued and shaky after an hour but stays low and can be drunken all through the day without worrying about not being able to sleep. However, I think the watery taste is just something I have to get used to. Maybe even I will love it after being coffee free for a while!

I can really recommend a book called "Caffeine Blues: Wake Up To The Hidden Dangers of America's Number 1 Drug" by a guy named Stephen Cherniske. It's a very well referenced book and really exposes the (serious) side effects of high caffeine consumption.


Drinking a cup of green tea right now! Wohoo.

Drinking tea offers various tea health benefits. Healthy tea leads to a healthy life. No wonder that it is considered a super food with numerous documented and yet to be realized health benefits.

Good man! Don't forget Tetley... PG and Tetley are both my favourites.

"The Strong One" is my favorite from PG range, it is a shame that it is not available locally. Well, let's hope EU does not ban tea.... I would not be surprised if they do.
We do not have decent teas in shops here in Latvia. Even though we have big brands like Tetley, Lipton and Ahmad, its all poor quality, made for consumption in Easter Europe and the difference in taste between British tea and our tea is amazing, believe me. It seems that all tea sold in the UK is from fair trade and organic, no matter if it is cheap or pricey...
BTW: I never add sugar to my cup of tea.

I have been drinking a lot of white tea lately. I buy organic Prince of Peace tea and get 100 bags for about $8. I really like the taste of this stuff.
