Any tea people around here?

I am looking for some websites mainly. I am lookng to expand into drinking tea and any info would help.

I currently buy Earl Greyand, Celestial Seasonings.

If I remember tea ages simliar to cigars. When kept at the right conditions. Which I do not know what those conditions are.

So any personal favorites or any websites that would be a good read, lemme know.

Thanks
Shane

Yogi Tea's are good.
Twinings are tasty.

I drink (like my cigars) stonger tea when I have a cup.
Some folks at work drink an 'English' tea(as one of the fellows is from there ...I'll try to get the name.

Earl Grey is a type of blend.
Like cigars...try some...you'll find out what you like!
 
I like tea on occassion, but I'll be damned if I turn it into a hobby. I'm fond of Darjeeling, the champagne of tea, and Lapsang souchong, an acquired tast.

Doc.
 
I like a good cup of Tea
Twinings...........Irish breakfast, Assam and English breakfast are pretty good.You need a tea pot to really get the best brew.
I have always thought fresh was best with Tea, But hey aged Tea could be very prized like aged Rice
 
I love white and green tea.
I would like to try some pu-ehr tea which is aged tea.
If any brothers want to try some green or white tea let me know and I'll send you some!

There is a spice shop up here with a nice selection of teas. All are loose and stored in air tight jars. Follow your nose to one you like and buy an once or two.

I enjoy a variety of teas. Green to Black, it is all good.
 
I drink about two 12 packs of Lipton Diet Green during the week. :sign: 0 Calories. :thumbs:
 
I love tea, one of my favorites is Persian/ Iranian tea. As a child I would sip it hot during the summer months.
The tea I refer to is often sipped through a sugar cube. There are such types as Iranian black tea, Saffron tea, and Rose teas...
I have tried several Western interpretations of Persian teas and this is one of my fave.Persian Melon Tea I have yet to find a good supplier of traditional Persian Tea, if anyone can find one; specifically one that deals with Saffron tea blends please let me know. :)
 
I love Bengal Spice by Celestial Seasonings. As for "aging" tea, I find the fresher the better. I find Bengal Spice looses so much after a couple weeks after openening the box. I guess if you vacuum sealed the unused tea, it might not get worse, but I can't see it improving.
