Tea-Drinkers....

[Watashi]

I love hot tea. Unfortunately, no local stores have any tea that is really worth drinking, mostly just Lipton, which isn't very strong or tasteful. Is there a place online where you guys prefer to get your tea? If so, where?

What sort of tea do you like?

 

We have all sorts of tea available over here.

 

If we sell a tea you like over here let me know and I will send you some, if I can get a hold of it that is.

Wow! What a cool offer, the UK is known for their tea. I prefer a nice Oolong. However Green and whites are nice aswell. Not a fan of black teas, but I will drink a good Earl Grey.

I drink coffee.

I also drink carbonated dihydrogen monoxide. Good stuff.

While larger supermarkets in the UK have a fair bit of variety, I still turn to specialty shops to find what I want. Like Oolong, is there a Chinatown or failing that, some Asian food speciality store you can check out? Green seems more generally available perhaps leaning a bit more towards Japanese food stores. There's always taking a gamble with Amazon...

Closest specialty store is likely 45 minutes away. I was thinking about Amazon, but I was moreso hoping that someone had some sort experience with buying tea directly from a vendor online.
I figure there is likely multiple vendors that will ship you some good tea.

OK I will try and get i bagged if I can, would you be OK with some leaf if I can't?

 

What I will try and do is put together a selection of teas and post them out to you, message me your address so I know where to send them to

One moment.

I prefer coffee but the rest off my family loves it

 

My family goes to the grocery store like Whole foods for example and buys tea bags there and boils there own water in a electric water boiler we use to cook 39 cent ramen and make coffee hope this helps

I wish there was a Whole foods closer to me! They have a good selection of foods.

I like the L-Theanine in tea. If I do drink coffee I'll have to watch my intake, even if I "overdo it" on tea, I notice myself getting some of the anxiety-related side effects of caffeine.

I just order zen tea off amazon.  I can't stand the taste of coffee.

I'll certainly be checking that out! And personally, I like the taste of coffee. Just not the side effects it (sometimes) gives me.

You can also get it at star bucks since they bought tazo back in the 90s.

I do live near a starbucks, however, knowing Starbucks, it's more expensive there

Sometimes I'll get tea from David's Tea. It's pretty good stuff. If you're looking for something stronger why haven't you tried loose leaf tea? It's quite a bit better than bagged.

I guess I just haven't had much exposure to loose leaf.

[JuztBe]

Lose tea is much better, there's greater variety of choice as well. It's not as convenient though. If you happen to go by that specialized shop stock up for long time. Or you can even ask someone you know to grab something.

 

Here's a master plan:

1. Start telling people how much you like tea

2. In Christmas, birthdays etc. receive all kinds of tea

3. Profit

Adagio loose leaf tea is greea. I order from there all the time. I do also get David's tea as @dizmo suggested. Loose leaf is rather easy with this little tool.

You can also use a cafetiere to make loose leaf tea if you got one already. Otherwise, there are teapots with a mesh holder if you make a bigger batch in one go.

I really like Yorkshire tea, but usually i'm a coffee guy and pretty much only drink Long Blacks (Called an Americano elsewhere).

[captain_to_fire]

[OJTheAviator]

Black PG Tips with (soy)milk is the only way to go!

[RyomaSJibenG]

lipton and green tea

neither with sugar, just pure tea and hot water

[kasugatei]

I am drinking Japanese green tea (bagged sencha + matcha).

About to order one now, I've had infusers before, but never the ones that snap together, looks pretty convenient.

imo Red Rose is good with 5 heaping tablespoons of honey but an Australian friend said that's too much
