My fiance accustomed me to this habit of drinking tea because she is from Eastern Europe and drinking tea with all ur meals is like a MUST. I luv it way better than coffee.
I love the smokey flavor of the russian carivan it reminds me of a good Islay scotch & pairs well with a Fuente 858 natural,,, Black, green or white tea is a great switch from Coffee, I like them both & Iced tea & coffee in the summer, I dont use cream or sugar in them hot or cold, but a twist of lemon, lime or orange is great in the tea, the shop I get my coffee from has a Large selection of loose tea, & when its time to fire up the pipe with an english blend A cup of tea is just what the doctor ordered. Enjoy, Vince
I use to drink tea for slimming but it was not useful so I stopped drinking green tea,but it is good for skin as it contain anti oxidant which is good for skin.
I just wanted to jump in the conversation as I am a self-proclaimed Tea Snob. (who doesn't love self proclaimed experts?)
A great website to wet your tea appetite is www.uptontea.com
Everything is available in sample size, great catalog, and just a great company.
*I have no affiliation with this company other than being a happy customer*
Fine and rare teas are a great luxury that is incredibly affordable, delicious, and healthy.
