Tea is the best thing to happen to my breakfast and night time palette. It is just a lifesaver since I hate drinking fucking water and coffee just upsets my stomach (years of meds sadly.) My mom has and grandmother both drank large amounts of tea and I guess I follow suit. I will check out some of those places recommended because I am about out of Yogi tea flavors!
Thanks for the info, I never knew that. I believe the Pittock Mansion is High Tea but you need to make reservations. People usually dress up for it too. I would highly recommend both the Chinese Gardens and Steven Smith teas. You have to pay to go to the gardens however, but it’s not too much. I’ve done tea tastings at Steven Smith a few rimes now. I go to the one in the NW. it’s right next to Olympic Provisions where I go for a lunch. Food is delicious if you like cured meats and stuff along those lines.
What do you all flavor your tea with? I tend to use honey or splenda. Also tend to like biscuits with my tea.
I drink tea with everything, never having acquired a taste for coffee. Meals and between. Due to insomnia, had to switch to chamomile with dinner, 5 PM being my caffeine cutoff. Sometimes splenda, when I go out it depends, some places serve "raw" sugar, which is not really raw, or honey. Chinese/Japanese tea is taken plain. Thai iced tea does not taste like tea to me at all, more like tea flavored milk shake. Don't like milk in my tea. In fact I consider milk in tea a British perversion. On really cold days, a small dash of rum in tea.
To the moon you say? I'd rather get sent to either to the old Mustang Ranch, the Love Ranch or the Cottontail Ranch.
Most of the tea I drink is not bastardized with anything, however I love both honey and milk in earl gray and other bergamot teas
I prefer jasmine tea but settle for lipton tea bag black tea. I sweeten my hot tea with clover honey which I stir slightly leaving most on the bottom for a sweet surprise when I get to the bottom of the cup. I drink a lot of iced tea, again Lipton black tea, unsweetened except for a squeeze of lemon. It's got to be frozen enough for some ice to form inside. Yep, that makes it 32.01 degrees fahrenheit. Nothing quenches your thirst better.
There's not enough caffeine in tea to amount to anything. I think it's typically about 20% as much as a cup of coffee. I'm very sensitive to caffeine at bedtime but tea has no effect on me.
Biscuits? You mean the kind my Alabama grandmother used to make with flour, water, baking soda and a hot oven? Or are you talking about the English kind where you hold your tea cup with two fingers and your little finger pointed high in the air and you nibble on your 'biscuit'?
Anyone but me remembers the Tetley tea jingle from the 80s in the UK? Get the round Tetley tea bag in your cup Get the round Tetley tea bag, you'll like it a lot Damn it, stuck in my head now
That was tea time at my resort in St. Lucia. 3pm Kobe sliders, a salumi/antipasto plate, cheese and exotic fruits with cocktails. I was thinking "this is gonna be expensive, but holy cow it's good"
