I'm a huge tea fan! I mainly drink yerba mate tea. I def have been thinking of trying to pair cigars with the different teas I enjoy. In fact I have a cup of Numi Organic Rainforest Green Mate Lemon Myrtle Green Tea. I always bring it or some Guayaki yerba mate with me to work.
One day I might like old ladys:) I did find a forum on tea a couple of years back, but when I went back to the address it was gone. I'll just keep looking. The tea thing is interesting subject. You guys renewed my interests.
loose tea does expand quite a bit so this is (in my mind) the perfect medium for brewing tea. all the room for the leaves to expand, none of the last sip pulp in your mouth.
I've got two of those tea pots: the quart size from Teavana at the house; and a 16 oz. pot from Amanzi Tea here in the office. I use the one in the office at least twice a day.
Best tea for waking up in my opinion is either Earl Grey or loose leaf Oolong tea. White tea is great throughout the day. Jasmine or rose hip green tea is my fav for relaxation. When I was in Taiwan, tea was horrendously cheap and high quality. If you're in San Franscico, I suggest going to Chinatown and finding Blest Tea. Reminds me of Taiwan's tea. Small shop, but possibly the best you'll get stateside. Try out their Brown rice green tea or their mango green tea. Oh! And free sampling. They let me sit there and sample almost everything in the store.
Milo's sweet tea is where it's at. You Yankees ain't got no clue how good it is!!!
Once again we agree. I don't know what Milo's is, but I do know they ONLY kinda tea in the south is sweet tea. There ain't nothing fancy about it, and that's fine with me. Lipton family sized bags - brew 6 bags to make a gallon of tea, add about 1 and 1/3 cup of sugar, let refrigerate. If I wanna get fancy, I put a small bunch of mint leaves in it in the summer. Can't beat it.

It's a chain restaraunt fast food place. Best burgers and fries in terms of fast food. The also sell their sweet tea in pretty much ANY supermarket down here by the gallon. It is the only sweet tea for me!
So I ordered an assortment of tea's to try out last week and now I have a new favorite tes. It was from Adagio teas... It's called Lapsang Souchong and it's the most amazing tea I've ever had. It smells and tastes like English pipe tobacco. It's amazing!! It's incredible!! But probably not for the faint of heart. It's a nice black tea and it's my life water these days since the cigar and pipe smoking have gone on a sabbatical. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes English pipe tobacco, it's a wonderful smokey aroma and flavor with still a slight leafy tea taste. It's so good!!
