Tea Drinkers: more stuff about teas

[Guest guest]

Tazo " Om " and Tazo " Lotus " green teas are really, really good.  I like the

herbal " Calm " Tazo tea--it's chamomile and some other herbs...has more flavor

than just chamomile.

Tazo's " Berry Blossom " (comes in light-blue envelopes in the regular box) is one

of the best flavored WHITE teas I've tried. 

 

White tea is apparently even more finicky than green for making it " right " .  If

the water's

too hot, or if it steeps too long...it gets too much of the bitter tanins in the

tea.  It's

supposed to be good--or even better for a person than even the green tea--just

full

of antioxidants.  They call it " white' because it's the outermost small " tips "

of the tea

bud that are picked (apparently pretty rare).  These buds look almost white and

sort of fuzzy when picked.

I just love the Tazo brand teas.  Zen is my favorite, it's a green tea and has

the nicest flavor.

I love the Tazo white tea I think it has cranberry flavor in it!!! Have

you ever tried the Tazo " African Bush " I think that's the name. Its a

spice red/orange tea its decaf. I like that one also.

      Yes, UMMM!  The Tazo " Honeybush " tea is probably what you mean.  I like it

a lot and have had it often.  I have a friend who hosts a small group of people

from our church every Sunday evening or Sunday afternoon.  He makes coffee and

has hot water for tea for anyone who wants it--and sets out an assortment

of different tea-bags--I always go for the Tazo Honeybush ones.  I know they are

caffiene free and the taste is nice, mellow and a tiny bit spicy.  YUMMM!

Tazo white tea with cranberry sounds really good.

Showing what a plebian I am -- Lipton actually makes a peach (or maybe it's

apricot) white tea, which really good with just a tiny bit of sugar. (I

don't care for green tea, I think it tastes like dirt!)
