    Someone got me white tea rose flavour Saturday, I have not tried it yet but I will try it today! I will tell you how I will find it!
    I like green teas in general, Lady grey with a hint of milk, hmmm, a few options there!
    Any favourite of yours?

    Nice choices!

    I've recently got a lovely oolong tea from an eccentric small teashop here. It's the only black tea that I love without milk! I also like lady grey, early grey and strong breakfast tea hehe.

    Ohhh a friend of mine gave me one oolong teabag to try but I've been waiting for the opportunity to try it! I will let you know if I like it without milk!
    I know a very nice teashop around where I am, it's good to have a favourite tea shop because you will trust their tea to be authentic!

    Welcome, Incense! :)

    I used to prefer the Earl Grey, but it has become lacklustre lately. Lady Grey has more refinement. :)

    That is great! I search for caffeine free things! Thanks Scottish Monk! I will find some soon!

    And thanks for the welcome Anglican74 and Consular!

    I used to like Earl grey too but found that Lady Grey is actually nicer! Plus on the tea box i have there is this "explanation"
    "Lady Grey was quite a beautiful woman. She always looked elegant and liked to wear a peacock feather in her hair at gatherings. This tea was named after her, goes well at social gatherings too - even if it's just a pot of tea shared with a friend. Sit and chat, sip and gossip, and let the fresh, citrus flavour transport you to a sunnier place. We like this black tea best in the afternoon with a biscuit or a slice of cake."
    So on cold days it makes me happy and think of the sun and sunshine all over :cool:

    Scottish Knight, I tried the white rose tea, I have to say I do not think I am fan of rose flavoured stuff but it was not bad!

    Oolong tea was so very good! Today I was sick so I left work earlier and I thought it was perfect time to try a new tea! This is the kind she gave me a teabag from

    That is extremely cool! I've been having about 4 cups a day and my eczema is almost gone :D I put it down to other things but perhaps it is the tea. I have loads of it actually I asked the guy at the shop for a quarter pound of it and he said "what the heck, I'll give you the whole lot" and filled the bag up to the brim hehe

    I guess it's the tea and since it is decaf, it is not taking the water out of your body! That is good news hehe!

    Consular, if you like lady grey you will probably like blue lady - another cool citrusy one. Have you tried it?

    I enjoy drinking it in the evenings

    I found out a new tea shop around. I have not tasted their tea (well actually I did because they offered me to taste a minted ice tea thing but you can't tell from a small sip hehe) but it seemed good!
    I found out they had a cool website and they have this tea 101 page (http://www.argoteastore.com/b/5770388011)
    But the coolest of all is that I found this tumbler! I got it for myself as Christmas gift![​IMG]
