I have just tried and "detox" and "love" tea so far, in an attempt to cut down on caffeine, they were lovely!

[phoenix rising]

[Windfall]

Nice! I need to try that next! :D

[animaladvocate]

i would love to be a chai virgin again.
to try it again for the first time.
there was something very special about that experience for me ...
so chai, too ....

[tipsy]

hmmm... i often enjoy peppermint tea at night.

during the day at work i drink a green tea with lemongrass in it....mmmmmm.

but i love all sorts of teas.

im addicted to yogi teas. thier 'calm' tea is one of my favorites.

and i love the traditional medicinals golden green. and green with ginger. yum.

I like Earl Grey, but I'm trying to be caffeine free at the moment and it;s hard to find one that's caffeine free and fair trade.

[Tigerlily]

Regular old Tetley tea for me.

[Kitteh]

I like green tea, I drink it during the day. I like peppermint tea after meals, and I also ike camomile and rooibos. On most days I have one black tea with rice milk.

[crimson~noir]

Jamine green tea or peppermint tea, I get the leaves version that is fresher and use an infuser.

[MarkAnthony]

I'm really like black tea and earl grey with sweetened soya milk, or green tea with lemon. I'm not a big fan of white tea.

I've got this really nice Clipper Detox tea at the minute where the main ingredient is rosemary, mmm.

[Jamila]

I adore chai
I need to go buy some.....putting it on my grocery list now ;)

[pavotrouge]

I can't believe I've only just discovered this thread!
I love all sorts of tea, though I mainly drink green tea and really strong chai at home. At work, we have a neverending stock of herbal teas!

Me too! Beware of a tea addict about to post... ;) :p

[Ruby Rose]

Where was this post hiding??! Let's hear it for tea... YEEEEEAAAAHHH!!

Currently sipping a Yogi Choco Spice piece of heaven, but also going through a major phase of Pukka's Pleasure, Love and Revitalise teas. Mmmm. Can't beat good old Fennel tea though.

Also... Tesco have Clipper teas for 99p a box at the moment - liquorice one is fantastic.

Oh, so much happiness from a few dried leaves and flowers and hot water!

[Mystic]

I love plain green tea and vanilla green tea

[Joeybee]

Twinings green fruit tea selection, they are loooovely.

I'm drinking one of the Pukka teas at the moment. Something like harmony for women, can't remember the exact name. I've got a dash of ginger syrup in there (about 2 teaspoonfuls, maybe?) and that works really well.

I can't seem to handle caffeine anymore (stupid anxiety disorder), but I love peppermint tea, ginger and lemon tea (with agave nectar if I've got a sore throat) and rooibos tea with soya milk. I also like chocolate chai tea made with rooibos tea, cinnamon and cocoa powder (yes, I know cocoa has caffeine in it, but it's a pretty small amount and it doesn't seem to affect me negatively).

[pavotrouge]

cocoa has caffeine?!

[Pisces]

I love herbal teas! My top 3 so far are peppermint, chammomile, and catnip. I'm willing to try anything herbal (and no caffeine---whether it's naturally present or not). Other herbal teas I enjoy are lavender, rosehips, ginger, rooiboos, lemon, etc. :D

[herbwormwood]

cocoa has caffeine?!

Yes, but not as much as coffee.
The most common sources of caffeine are coffee, tea, and cocoa (and anything containing those substances).
Lots of info on the net...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine

Most herbal "teas" are caffeine free.
But not green tea as it is the same plant as "tea" but just less processed.
