Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Try a flavored rooibus. I've had orange and vanilla, and they are both good, the orange a bit better. Also, when making green or white tea, bring the water to a boil, then let it cool off for a few minutes before brewing the tea. Let brew for 1-3 minutes. You can use the leaves at least twice.

I think it tastes like tree bark or maybe steeped mulch since it's red. But it's not totally unpleasant & good for the evening when I don't want the caffeine. My all time fave is the really, really gooooooood oolong. Ooh baby, mmmmmmm. Good Jasmine is tasty too. I just kinda switch around between the white/silver tips, oolong, dragon pearl green & jasmine.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I went to the market today and was walking down the Coffee & Tea Isle of Albertsons. I saw a box of Celestial Seasonings Decaf Tea and it was $4.25/box, thought the price was too high and paused instead of reaching for the box. Then the light kicked " on " in my head: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Starbucks are $1.75/cup and I average 3- 4 of these per week. Then I reached for and purchased my box of tea with 20 bags @ $4.25, far less then the $35.00 going to the coffee houses, what a deal. Once I started the Radiant Recovery program noticed that I had so much change in my office drawer, it just keeps piling up, up, and up. It's kind of fun too every 3-4 months to take all the change to the automatic coin counter @ Albertsons. Hope I'm no rambling too much, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Teas I love: 1] Pau D'Arco [never milk or sweet agent] 2] Roasted Dandelion Root [never milk or sweet things except real fruit] Both of these teas have amazing healing properties and taste great. Can be found in herb stores, or in tea bags at Whole Foods or health stores. Pau D'Arco is made from bark of a tree in South America. The bark that is used is 100 feet up the tree. Supposedly, when it's in the stomach no bacteria or virus can grow. Used for centuries as a medicinal curative. I love the taste. It's subtle. You may have to be a non-smoking vegetarian to appreciate the soft sweetness and gentle nuttiness, but it's amazing. Roasted Dandelion Root tea is a wee bit stronger, but very powerful detoxifying agent for the liver. If you love a bit of wine or beer, this tea will clean your liver out in a day. I knew a lifelong alcoholic who drank this tea mixed with milk thistle for 3 days running who after years of abusing alcohol stopped drinking alcohol after 3 days of drinking this tea. He has been sober for 20 years. Swears by it. Magic properties, and delicious! My favorite black tea is Assam. Peet's Coffee sells very nice, loose leaves and teabags. This one is good with milk, soy milk, rice milk, and sweeteners. I also drink Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger cold, unsweetened, all summer as my main beverage. Simply toss 4 teabags into a quart of cold water and put in refrigerator. No boiling necessary. I drink this for months on end, rather than soda, bubbly water or expensive bottled water.
