Tea Drinkers - Recommendations?

[stu1ritter]

I've been a tea drinker since 1972 when I first faced those cold, wet, San Francisco winter mornings..........seems coffee just didn't cut it. A few years ago I was directed to Yunnan Sourcing - The Ultimate Source for Yunnan Pu-erh Tea — Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop in China and have been buying from them ever since. Almost every Chinese tea you can name and almost always spring and fall pickings. For the long time tea drinker looking to expand their horizons. They also have a USA shop
Yunnan Sourcing USA where you can sample most of their tea's in small quantities and not pay China freight.

A good cup of tea, whatever your choice of leaf is great at anytime and is the panacea of all, for the entire English population. However, "Down Under," the best cuppa to be found is in the "Bush" and comes from a blackened billy boiled over an open fire. The tea, infused with the smoke from burning gum tree wood adds to the enjoyment.


Once the water has boiled, throw in a handful of Bushels tea then immediately remove from the fire. Allow the leaves to settle, this can be assisted by swinging the billy overhead a few times, or for the less adventurous, tapping the side of the billy with a spoon or stick, then pour and sit back and enjoy.

I'd head of cowboy coffee, but not cowboy tea

I never have acquired a taste for coffee, so tea has been my go to hot beverage for most of my life. These days my preferred morning tea is Tazo awake English Breakfast tea, just finished my morning cup. Rest of the day I go with Tetly decaf, if I drink to much caffeine it fires up my afib. Never been a fan of the herbals or green tea.

Coffee makes My heart skip a few beats. Started in '86'. Switched to tea and have been fine since. I use Liptons . Don't care for the perfumed Millenial **** or all of the new fangled brews out there. Straight black tea.

Mum just sent me pics of the tea towel that hangs in her kitchen.
