Well, i noticed alot of us seem to like tea. Whether that be green, white, black, herbal, roobio, or whatever.

So, what are some of your favorite teas and brands? (Im mostly looking for PACKAGED teas, not pre-brewed teas with sugar and other additives).

Im personally a big supporter of Celestial Seasonings. I think they really put alot of emphasis on bringing great flavors and varieties at a quality level for a fair price.

They are right in the middle of teas as far as pricing. More expensive than Lipton, but not by much.


I find they have some of the smoothest flavors out there, and i really enjoy the teas.


I just bought some regular decaf green tea (non-flavored), some Vanilla Red Roobio tea (naturally decaf), and some Sleepy Time Herbal tea (obviously decaf). Cant wait to make these a staple in my diet. I am not sure of the health benefits of Roobio, but ill research it more.


If your not afraid of caffeine, they have some tremendous flavors like Perfect Peach White tea. YUM.

They have a think where you can choose your product and input your zip and it will bring up any registered retailers that stock that particular type. Pretty damn cool. Celestial Seasonings : White Teas

im a Celestial Seaonings fan too. Started by some hippies in Canada to I think. I love the peppermint and chamomile. I have probably 20 kinds of tea i dont know how i got that much but those are the only two i like. oh and orange pekoe red rose or tetly. we used to have a marks and spencers here and they had the best earl grey. i love bergamot but i dont like the twinings one its to perfumey tasting. the lipton is more exspensive here and not very good quailty. and we have twinings in canada. i also like a oolong with a couple 'dragons tears' (jasmine leafs) in it once and while.

Lipton is fine, i just think they have lower quality standards.


They make a great white tea that comes in this pyramid type bag. However, theirs arent biodegradable (to my knowledge, i looked and nothing said so) like 99% of teabags.

Celestial Seasonings actually has a similar product line but their pyramid teabags ARE biodegradable.

Coffee. Black. Triple brewed.

I brew a pot, change the grinds, dump the coffee back through. Change the grinds, dump it back through. Change the grinds, dump it back through. A post condenses into about 2/3 of a pot. It's bitter. Its great.
