Hi there,

Just wondered if anyone out there is a regular drinker of herbal teas ? If so, which one do you drink regularly and why ?

Many Thanks

Anna

Hi Anna

I'm back saw this post I drink lemon tea, cammomile and on occasion dandelion. I went to the US earlier this year and returned I couldn't drink proper tea or coffee for 2 months it made me sick can now but I love the taste of cammomile.

Can I add that when I first drank cammomile tea 10 years ago to help with my insomina I hated it I drank it for 2 years and loathed it. Then when I got back from the US I loved it.

A Cranberry Apple blend, just because it tastes good. I don't like plain old tea.

Anna,

I'll drink green tea & particularly like the ones that blend lemon or peach with them, since I think this adds to the rather bland flavor. Green tea is supposed to have health benefits but really I drink it because I like it.

But herbals aside, there's nothing for me like a good cup of Prince of Wales or China Black to perk me up...

I have recently begun alternating between green tea and something called "Rooibos". It's from a South Afrcan bush (also known as red bush tea) and has 50 times greater antioxidant power than green tea. I used to buy it premade by the jar, but that was pretty pricey. Now I buy teabags and brew my own a couple of times a week. I sweeten it with stevia and/or agave nectar (usually a combo of the two) and keep it chilled in the frige. I take a big glass of it to work for lunch, and usually have a glass in the afternoon.

Thanks everyone,

I will look out for these, and see if I can find one I like !
Before I go, has any one tried Jasmine tea ?

Jasmine tea tried it a little too flowery for me.


I will post the address of the equipment company I use tomorrow I have been at a conference all day and I left the catalogue at work.

Hello Anna,

I don't drink tea or coffee. I try to stick to mineral water but that can get boring and I have tried various herbal teas in the past and never liked them. I bought a box recently of London Fruit & Herb tea in Cammomile with Honey Flavour and I quite like that. I think it's because it resembles chinese green tea, which I can drink.

Herbal teas are good. What do you usually drink?

Hi Yen,

I tend to stick to ordinary decaff tea (in a bag !), but I have always wondered about herb teas, because I know so many that drink them. I have to say I have always wanted to try Chinese green tea, I can imagine it is very refreshing ?

Any plans for the weekend ?

You can drink chinese tea without milk so I prefer it. Tea is good if you eat something fatty food because I was told that it helps break down the fat. I know that when I have cakes or doughnuts I feel like having a cup of tea with it.

I might be going out this Saturday evening. Mind you sometimes when I have been working out hard during the day I feel tired in the evening and just can't be bothered to go out.

Hi Anna,
Have you ever tried Earl Grey green tea? It is really good.
