Herbal tea drinkers, come in
I am in a rut with tea lately. I drink at least one cup a day. I like lemon zinger, chamomile, mint, peach, and apricot. Nothing too flowery. I usually drink plain or with a spoon of raw honey. It needs to be decaf since I usually drink it in the afternoon or evening. Any other suggestions that I might like? What's your favorite tea?
Re: Herbal tea drinkers, come in
I like the Tazo apricot and blueberry white teas. You can buy them on Amazon in bulk and save money.
i love tazo's mint tea - refresh...although mint was already on your list.
i would suggest buying stash's herbal sampler pack. there are ~10-15 flavors and all of them are pretty good - then you can pick out some favs. to buy an entire box of. ?i drink mine w/just a dash of splenda, but Dh drinks them all plain.?
Long Life Ginger is my favorite tea of all time. They sold it in QFC and Whole Foods, but then it became hard to find. I just order online now. Here's what it looks like. Maybe you'll see it in your grocery store. If not, easy to order online. I think drugstore.com also carries it.

I love Good Earth green tea with lemongrass. The lemongrass cuts the bitterness of the green tea.
Yogi Tea has a lemon-ginger digestive tea that is super yummy.

Don't drink the water.

White pear. That sounds good. Who makes that? Also Celestial?
Yes, Celestial. It's actually a white tea I think. Maybe it's Pear White Tea? Dunno. Pretty good although I have to add a little sugar to it when I don't usually add it to the others. I think you'll like it if you like chamomile.
Edit: I just remembered that it was not decaffeinated. I recall looking at the box the other day and it had more caffeine than cola.
That does sound good. But, yes, white tea has caffeine. So unless it decaffeinated, it's gonna have caffeine.
315bride--I saw a show on the discovery channel about a year ago and did you know that you can make any tea decaffeinated?
This tea experts said to pour boiling water over your leaves or bags in a cup and time it for one minute. Then remove the leaves or bags and place them in second cup and cover them with boiling water and let is seep for 3 minutes.
Drink the second cup and throw out the first--apparently 98% of the caffeine is released in the first minute of seeping.
I don't drink caffeine and do this all the time and I never get jittery.
I did know that it takes only a minute for the caffeine to maximize (3 minutes for color, 5 for flavor). But I guess I never realized that you could do this to make it less caffeinated. Smart idea. Thanks.
