I don't really have the space for multiple types of tea. ^^"

Personally, I maximum keep three at times. However, when I find the right tea, I mostly just keep that one.

I got Lemon and Apple tea stocked for myself.
And I got Chamomile and Fennel tea for my parents for if they swing by.

That sounds like a heavenly drink Rekoil, you must pour me a cup.

Something that might catch tea-drinkers off guard if you have not spent much time in the United States is that the tea you see in restaurants, especially in the Southern States, is often not hot, but a sweet ice tea like this.



Don't worry though can get the classic cup of hot tea always too, if this chilled, more lemonade-ish tea is not to your liking.

I've never been to a proper tea party, it seems like it would be quite enjoyable!

I haven't had green tea in a while.

Green tea seems to be one of the teas with the best benefits. I like it and I had one yesterday!

I'm not sure I've ever tried Green Tea.

I will have green tea, especially if I am in a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.

I have also made soaps from green tea and hair rinses. I thought it made my skin look extra clear and moisturized. Among many other things it has vitamin e, antioxidants and good astringent properties. I also thought it really helped to clean my hair thoroughly.

I do enjoy a good green tea!

I gotta pick some up; maybe during the weekend. Ironically, even though green tea is supposed to make you sleepy. When I start drinking it again it usually causes me to actually have problems sleeping. It evens out after a couple days, though.

I should drink tea, I've been so dehydrated since yesterday, while I drink a lot!

The Qing dynasty Imperial court drank a lot of tea, and during the summer months it was green tea, some they liked were Bi Luo Chun and Dragon Well. In the winter the Forbidden City switched to drinking black tea instead of green, teas like Pu'er.

I don't know if i have ever had authentic black tea before. I used to think I was drinking it, and I thought it was a nice, rich and hearty taste to warm you up, but I have read that what is sold as Black Tea in Anglophone countries is actually a bit different from Chinese Black tea, and really their Red tea, so now I am not so sure what's in my pantry. 🤔
