what type of tea do you drink?

Growing up here in the states Coffee was always the norm in my home it still is but we also had what they call sweet tea in the south basically it is black tea with enough sugar to give you diabetes now that I am older and have traveled I have been trying new teas and I have to say my favorite so far is Russian Smoked black very full body tea with a nice smokey aftertaste but I only put raw sugar (unrefined) or honey in it but I also enjoy a good herbal tea as well what do you all find appealing in a tea?

I like good quality black tea made fresh, strong and with milk

Ireland is a nation of tea-drinkers.

It has changed in recent times with the onslaught of coffee shops, but tea is still the go-to drink for relaxation for many.

CC you are supposed to drink it during the day to help keep you awake

for a good relaxing enjoyable herbal I would recommend rose petal with hibiscus and marshmallow root and a bit of raspberry leaves maybe some mint also

Yes I do snook it is a neural agent for humans it is very good for you and if you are cooking on a grill throw a handful on the coals and it will give your food a nice peppery taste also

Shaken, the brand I use most regularly is Barrys. Not available outside of Ireland as far as I am aware.

The tea is sourced from the finest tea gardens of Rwanda, Kenya and the Assam Valley of India

Shaken, they have a tiny cafe where you can sit down and try them as well.
Obviously, that wouldn't be suitable for you though

Hello Shakenheart,

Interesting blog, enjoy it, going to have to try the russian tea you mentioned. (sounds interesting ), I m a coffee lover, but at times like blueberry tea. The tea is okay, but the aroma of blueberries sure makes it special. (something different)
