Title: A question of tea's Post by: Seamus 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. [sm_yuck] 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. Title: Re: A question of tea's Post by: twoiron on February 18, 2008, 05:25:50 PM 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!)

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 Title: Re: A question of tea's Post by: Uisce Beatha on February 18, 2008, 06:18:24 PM Tea for one?

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.
