Lucky Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have a couple of questions for anyone... First I'm trying to give up coffee, and am learning to enjoy teas of all kinds. What can y'all tell me about various teas (meaning not Lipton ). I'm enjoying some herbals, and fruit teas, and I know that some are good for certain ailments, or relaxation, etc. I'd also like to learn more about real teas. I have some English Breakfast Tea, which is good, and I've seen Irish Breakfast Tea, which I was told is much stronger. Chai is lovely (I know enough not to call it Chai Tea, thanks to Radhi). I know there are tea drinkers here. Also, I want to buy an mp3 player, but not as expensive as an IPOD. What should I look for? Any recommendations? I know nothing about them.

The Seeker Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm not sure if Irish Breakfast Tea is the same one, but Irish Cream tea is very nice. And all sorts of Indian ones with spices and such... but Radhi can you tell a whole lot more about that than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 very wise descision Lucky! coffee is bad :< I'm discovering a 9-tastes pack from twinings at the moment, very very good I have to say, some recommandations: -russian taiga -four red fruits -strawberry -green tea and lemon all with a little sugar and no milk, served at drinkable temperature, a pleasure for relaxation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I know that many drink milk in their tea. I've never learned to, but from what I've read, some are considered better with milk. There seems to be quite an ettiqute to tea drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viaene Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 there's only an etiquette in Brittain I suppose I think milk in herbal tea would distord the taste, I do think it could be tastefull in classic tea. as for herbals, try some honey in stead of sugar that's nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Well, I'd never put milk in peppermint tea for example... just black and roiboos teas. Edited January 20, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ooo tea! I shall tell you! Take some regular Assam or Darjeeling tea and boil it with a bit of milk and about two spoons of sugar per cup and any combination of ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, anise or clove. I'd recommend using not more than two spices at once. I'd also recommend the ginger-cardamom combination. Does wonders for body and soul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks Marc, got the pinky thing down. Yeah, I drink the herbals, and wouldn't ever put milk in them. ick. I'll have to try milk in the black teas. I grew up with the all-american Lipton, which apparently isn't much of a tea at all. Orange Pekoe, whatever that is. I still like good old Lipton though. I like the idea of a nice strong tea, I always liked my coffee strong. I'll have to try the Irish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Would a real tea drinker use tea bags? We can get loose tea, but bags are much more common. So you boil the milk with the tea, not add it before drinking/ Makes sense, the milk would cool it too much, I would think. Is cardemom the spice that tastes faintly of licorice? I have some tea with licorice root, and it tastes much the same as the one with cardemom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Also, I want to buy an mp3 player, but not as expensive as an IPOD. What should I look for? Any recommendations? I know nothing about them. I have a Samsung similar to this one and I'm actually very satisfied there are different sizes, mine is 1 GB which is enough for about 200-250 songs. the battery lasts about 12-14 hours (I think), gets charged automatically in the USB drive (if it's completely empty it takes about 3 or 4 hours)... oh and it supports numerous file systems, I have mostly mp3s, but also wma and ogg, it plays everything I don't know the exact price but it should be around 50$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some tea with licorice root, and it tastes much the same as the one with cardemom. Yes, 'tis slightly like licorice. Like licorice I don't really like cardamom in it's 'raw' form, but in tea it's really quite lovely Good for you too It's a bit expensive I think, but one pod has something like 9 seeds and 3 or so are more than enough for a cup of tea. Put much more and it's overpowering (still yummy, but more cardamom, less tea). Apropos () your first question... I don't know if real tea drinkers use tea bags. I don't know if I am one But I do think the loose stuff tends to be regarded as 'posher' you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 It's much more fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I was only wondering about the bags, because could you change the strength of your tea, by adding more/less loose tea? That would seem to follow, or would it just make it bitter? I really know nothing, you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well, yes, but if you leave a tea bag in too long it gets kinda strong too, non? Me, I just like the satisfaction of boiling the tea with the water instead of the rather boring teabag method :sleepy: More difficult to get the effect of the spices too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
