I found a new thing!

I bought some London Fog tea powder thing. The bag calls it "stone ground tea" and it works like instant coffee. I like London Fogs but I never think to have the stuff around. Thought I'd try it although it was somewhat pricey for what I was getting, I think. Pretty good though.

... WANT.

Where did you find it?

Lemon tea, please! :D I also like Forest Fruit, Tropical... There is a really good one with apple, cinnamon and raisins. ^^

Just at the grocery store. It's this stuff:
Domo
I didn't pay that much though.

Are those in specific brands or general flavours?

They are in Lipton's brand. :)
But the apple one is... hang on, let me check -goes to check- Ah, yes, that brand is called Twinings. :)

This reminded me after my Vacay I need to buy more loose leaf....

I got this awesome chai tea right now. It smells great! :D

My favorite is a basic Orange spice black, but black contains a bit to much caffeine for me to handle now T.T
So I switched to loose leaf, and blend a tiny bit of Golden Monkey Black with 2 different kinds of Orange Oolong. (rose and mandarin) Unfortunately Teavana no longer carries the Mandarin orange here T.T

I got a blood orange tea from Blue Teapot that I liked. David's Tea has a "juicy orange" pu'ehr tea but I'm not so fond of the after taste. Pu'ehr has been great form my mangled stomach.

That reminds me, I'm almost out of Irish Breakfast loose leaf.

My favourite Chai is also David's, a discontinued one called "Bollywood Chai." I'm currently trying to replicate the blend. I found the candied fennel seeds!

-feels like Sweden has too little to offer on the tea market- .A.

Well Europe (Sweden included -I visited in 2009) did have these different Lipton things I had never seen before. Don't think we get them over here. I would pocket some from hostels to take with me as I back-packed around.

Most of the tea I get comes from specialty shops devoted to tea. Lipton, Twinnings, Stash, etc. are things you can get at a grocery store, but the loose leaf I might get at David's Tea, Pekoe, Teavanna, Blue Teapot, Steeps, or Murchies. Those are shops that sell their own stuff, or get blends from other places. The guy I would buy tea from at The Blue Teapot was German, and he would import blends from Europe. Murchies and David's I'm believe are Canadian based.

Can't leave my tea alone for two minutes before a bug shows up in it. Life on a farm, or perhaps that's a hint to tone down the sugar. My sister also informs me that bugs fly into the lights and singe themselves, and them drop nice onto where we have our respective "tea stations."

I like hot water poured over matcha powder. I dislike drinking hot water otherwise xD

Who likes hot water plain anyway?

My grandparents like lukewarm water and my mom and her wife like hot water ><'

My sister likes practically all types of European hot black tea and loose leaf. Which reminds me, I need to find a box of Lipton for her...
