Learning to like Green Tea. It's real hit-and-miss. Last night the Starbuck's variety didn't do much for me. This morning Jade brand seems a bit better. Anyone have a fav?

    I just got a green tea sampler from Adagio teas and the Citron Green is very nice.

    Thanks. I'll have to give it a whirl. I've been off coffee since late August and am enjoying the variance of tea though I don't think I've yet appreciated the finer offerings quite yet.

    Starbucks makes a pretty good green tea latte, but it's best with skim milk and without the melon flavoring they squirt in.

    No, I am a fermented tea fan.

    Its got to be as dark as possible and properly done so you cannot tell there was water used in its making.

    Too many people make weak tea.

    Green tea latte. I'll definitely have to try that.

    Couldn't agree with you more. A good tea has real weight to it almost as heavy as coffee.
  • Robert C K. Robert C K. replied Jan 4th
    Bah! Lighter and crisp is the best. Nothing like a good white tea.

    I'm all for other kinds, but whites and greens I love. Reds next. Black tea last.

    Ok melon in my tea?

    Oh no... no.... no.

    For me a big part of the tea is the weight of it. Does it have body to it. I've enjoyed a Roibos Red Tea as I found it to brew-up fairly heavy. Still a novice with the shades.

    @Cursor_: Melon == bad. No melon for me.

    I love Jasmine tea. Green tea infused with Jasmine. Soooo good.
  • Phil S. Phil S. replied Jan 4th
    Jasmine sounds good. I don't care much for Green teas with fruity stuff, but that might be a good pick.

    Jasmine Tea is great. Before bed or just to relax Camomile Tea is good too. I love strong Green Tea. Oolong is usually what they serve at most Chinese resturants if you want a more neutral flavor. I usually go to my corner Asian Grocery store and buy the loose leaf packages.
  • Phil S. Phil S. replied Jan 4th
    Oh, that's a very good idea. I generally enjoy loose leaf tea better. Thanks!

    Adagio Tea online has great tea. I just got both white tea samplers from my wife.

    Great!
