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

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    Yogi make the most amazing Licorice tea.

    My favourite tipple at present is Honeybush* with no milk. It's lovely at the end of the day with some bourbon biscuits to dunk in it.

    * it doesn't actually have any honey in it. It's an African caffiene free plant similar to Rooibos.

    Loose tea is better value for money if you like to drink more than 1 (or 2) cups at a sitting. In the morning I make a pot of loose leaf tea (this month I am using 1 teaspoonful Co-op 99 and 1 teaspoonful Hampstead Tea Company Organic Earl Grey) in a pot then brew for a few minutes. But it varies which brand I buy for the pot.
    I keep it warm with an extra thick tea cosy.
    Then later in the day I will have a few cups of Clipper Organic with tea bags. Its almost always Clipper Organic. I use the tea bag twice. Thats what I am drinking at this moment.
    In the evening I have either Yogi Choco, or a peppermint, or some other herbal tea, maybe Redbush. I'm working my way through a big tin of loose leaf Redbush, bought huge quantity loose from Suma ages ago.
    As the years go by I notice it becoming harder and harder to obtain loose leaf tea, some shops only have bags.

    plus, loose tea is better for the environment because you get less packaging.
    and it tastes better as well.

    Back to Sencha tonight.

    I drink bags at work, but I usually decaffeinate it first. As for loose teas, my two huge favourites right now are Darjeeling and Gen Mai Cha.

    I don't worry about it with loose teas since the caffeine content is something to the effect of a third of what tea bags hold. but for tea bags all you have to do is steep yr tea bag as you normally would for 30 seconds. This gives it time to release all of the caffeine (as that's the first thing to release first). Once that time is up, empty out yr cup and steep the bag into a fresh batch of water and voila! It doesn't take out ALL of teh caffeine I'm sure, but it takes out the vast majority of it.

    Default What Is Delicious In Tea?

    I'm not a coffee drinker - makes me go haywire. So I drink tea - hence this sister thread to the coffee one.

    I know it sounds odd, but maple syrup always seems to be a winner with tea for me (I initially used it as a replacement for honey and then grew fond of it and kept it).

    I've recently discovered a vanilla rooibos tea which is nice (I don't much like the normal rooibos)

    I also like flavoured black tea - jasmine, violet, rose, mango etc. I drink all my teas quite weak and with soya milk.

    I use brown sugar, as I usually only have tea in restaurants. At home, just sweetened soy milk. Maple syrup is expensive! and delicious.
