A question of tea's
« on: February 18, 2008, 05:08:39 PM » |

What would a golf forum be without some kind of question regarding tea's.  I am trying to get a little healthier, trying to incorporate more green and white teas (anti-oxidants) into my repertoire.  But I'm slowly getting used to it. Any suggestions? I've got some Lipton I'm working through but it tastes like chalk sometimes, I'm trying a smidge of milk and splenda and it helps a bit. I found some white tea that had mango or peach which wasn't too bad. I haven't bought whole leaf in awhile, not working near Pike Place Market has really put a cramp in my tea/coffee buying style. Fred Meyer kinda sux for teas. I'm open for idears. |

Firstly, one should not add milk or sugar to one's tea.
English Breakfast tea is a good starting point.
Then you may want to try:
Indian teas such as: Darjeeling Tea
Sri Lankan: Ceylon (Black Tea)
Chinese: Jasmine Tea
or from Korea: Corn Tea (this stuff rocks!)

Thanks for the response, and why to the above? Mostly because it dilutes the flavour of the tea, which is a personal preferance really, and possibly a legacy from the British. However, I'm sure you've checked out this general page at wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea |

I know. My city has a really large Asian community, I think I'm going "in search of" herbs and teas tomorrow. |

[no help here]
The only tea I'm familiar with is the kind that gets made here at work when these old Scandinavian broads *fudge* up a pot of Foldger's. I have to pour the see through *feces* out, and make a batch of Cowboy Coffee.
