What is in your cup?

I love flowering teas. Those I can fully get behind.

Drinking water now. Tea at work

I'm with you on this one. The only thing to go into tea should be one's reflection!



Nope. We welcome all drinkers, from plain water to 15 year old Scotch. Of course, we view commercial tea bag drinkers as pilgrims who have not yet seen the light. There is hope for you yet. Why, there are actually people here who like (shudder) Lipton's.

I like Lipton's for iced tea when I am not drinking green iced tea. I think it has a good flavour for that. for some reason I can't drink it hot, it makes me throw up

As long as I say the words "Celestial Seasonings" every now and then it keeps the negative attention on me. So come on in! )

I've decided a need a Bodum cup to drink my morning coffee from. I have one I've been drinking tea in (with its own infuser, no less), and I love that I can hold the cup in my hand even with hot tea inside and it doesn't burn my hand, plus the tea looks beautiful inside. I think I'll tell Santa.

hey! I've been drinking Celestial since I was 14! I'm a hometown girl to Celestial!

I'm planning on seeing what kind of selection we have at the store tonight. I have got to find something warmer to drink this winter - Diet dr pepper, while still wonderful, doesn't do much to warm you up at -10 degrees F.!

Bodum?

1. What you said, LOL. I can't stand Lipton hot, but do like it iced.
2. I've tried it a few times, but that was before they had all the flavors they do now.
3. We had a set at the store last year with a translucent glass pot and mugs. SOOOO pretty!

Drinking some evil Celestial Seasonings Coconut Thai Chai.

Phew! I'm so happy to hear that!

Oh I've been served tea with a dose of snapps, it's apparently good for a cold. I don't like it, though. My mother (and many south eastern Europeans) believe that strong alcohol "kills the germs inside you" (my mother's words) when you are sick.

I am thinking about making a cup of tea now. Does sound good at the moment.

Me too, Betty.
In my cup: cider 5,5%, second glass, almost midnight and half asleep hanging on the couch. Good night.

Good night. I'll be going to bed, too, in a few minutes. I've had a really rough day.

Tomorrow a perfectly crisp new day. Goodnight.

Good morning blues, blues how do you do? I said;
Good morning blues, blues how do you do? Well;
I'm doing alright, Lord, blues how are you?

Sun's up, Yorkshire tea in the cup, bowl of rice and miso soup next to me, getting ready to face the new day. YIPPEE!!

My wife has a lecture to attend in downtown Osaka this afternoon so we'll go in together, have lunch at 'The Outback' restaurant, then I'll head off in search of some Fortnum & Mason 'Royal Blend' and 'English Breakfast' teas. I almost remember where I found them the last time. I hope I'm correct. F&M used to have a stall inside one of the larger department stores but that closed down some years ago and I couldn't find any of their goods for quite some time. I'm happy to see it's come back to town!

Several people now have agreed that Liptons tea works well for ice tea (I think so too) but is horrible for hot tea. I wonder why that works this way?
I also like to use Lipton's powdered ice tea, unsweetened, which is really, for me, doing a 180 regarding tea!

I remember when Celestial Seasonings ONLY sold 'Red Zinger' and it was the only drink socially acceptable in our commune! Today it holds the market share world-wide for herbal teas. They must be doing something right!
