    Tea has many varieties. Loose tea is a way to enjoy specialty varieties such as Darjeeling tea from India. Congrads on your Squidoo Level. So many new topics to explore ! Thanks.

    I am not picky when it comes to tea. I enjoy each for what it is. There is some interesting information on this lens. Thanks so much.

    Great lens, I like all teas.A question when using teabags, do you add the milk before you remove the teabag, or after removing it?
  • Jodi_k Jun 30, 2011 @ 4:45 pm | delete
    I mostly use tea leaves, but either way I put it in after. I like to make a pot of tea, let it steep, pour it into the cup, then add the milk and sugar. I have the milk in a little pitcher, the sugar in a small ramekin, and a tea tray. It just makes me happy that way.

    Earl Grey, then Darjeeling. I have never used a teaball although I have used a spoon shaped infuser for single cups. Usually though it tends to be tea bags. :p Great lens!

    I am loving a new tea I bought called Tava Tea. Its a mixture of Sencha, Oolong and Pu-erh. Its a real tasty cuppa.

    I much prefer Green Tea now to Black Tea, but the brand flavors vary enormously. I really don't like Twinings or Tetley, and Liptons is horrible. My favorite Green Tea, which I can't get in the UK, it Uncle Lee's Organic Green Tea. You can but it online in the USA, and also at Walmart, at least in Florida. It has a really good taste. I like Rubioos tea as well, that is a different taste.
  • Jodi_k Jun 5, 2011 @ 11:34 am | delete
    I'm with you on not liking Lipton's. I never heard of Uncle Lee's green tea (I'm more of a black tea drinker). Funny how some things there you can't get here (and vice versa).

    P.S. Just put a back link to this lens from my Steam the Black Dragon.

    My original love in tea was an excellent cup of black tea, with milk and no sugar. So I particularly enjoyed your link to George Orwell's rules for making tea. Except for the use of a tea bag, I unknowingly follow the rules. Thanks for this interesting lens.

    Hmmm, I can smell it brewing right now. I'll take mine with a little sugar please.

    I love a good cup of tea in the evening! My favorite is green tea and oolong tea!

    I love tea especially the herbal tea. I can prepare various flavors with homegrown herbs like lemongrass , basil and ginger.

    a wonderful lens - a perfect balance between facts and shopping ideas! thumbs up from me! i LOVE a cup of tea...sadly, it's almost impossible to get a good one anywhere in rome, italy where i live, although you can, of course, drink some excellent coffee here instead!

    Loved reading this lens. Interesting, informative, with great pics. Blessed by a SquidAngel.

    I don't drink tea nearly as much as I should despite having a cupboard full of the stuff. It's cold chilly morning here in Iowa so maybe I'll brew up a little. :)
  • scar4 Nov 11, 2010 @ 12:00 am | delete
    Quite enjoy the simple pleasures of drinking tea!
  • Specialeetees Oct 26, 2010 @ 10:25 am | delete
    I think tea is considered my staple diet for the most part LOL. For the last 30+ years I've been drinking at least 8 mugs a day :)
  • Jodi_k Oct 26, 2010 @ 10:34 am | delete
    That's a lot of tea! If the health benefits are legit, you should live forever!

    I am trying to drink more tea. You have some very good information here.
  • Swisstoons Oct 2, 2010 @ 12:19 pm | delete
    Very informative...and about one of my favorite subjects! I drink between 3 and 5 double-cups of Chinese green tea each day and have for the past ten years or so. I find that since I began drinking green tea, I make a lot few typing errors because the tea helps me to thimk clearly. (I am always thimking.) Thumbs up, favoriting it...and lensrolling to my blueberries lens.
  • Jodi_k Oct 2, 2010 @ 1:26 pm | delete
    Wow, that's a lot of tea! I'm a black and chai drinker. Not nearly as much as you though. And thanks! :-)
  • enslavedbyfaeries Sep 28, 2010 @ 7:30 am | delete
    I've always been a coffee drinker until the last few months and now it just doesn't taste as good, so I've converted to tea. It's very comforting and the flavor varieties are fun too!

    Love tea especially at night when watching a movie, I love to hold on to my nice cup of tea.
  • kiwisoutback Sep 12, 2010 @ 7:13 pm | delete
    I'm more of a coffee drinker, but I still drink tea from time to time. I'm pretty easy to please, I'll drink almost any type, as long as there's a biscotti with it.
  • Jodi_k Sep 13, 2010 @ 6:17 am | delete
    Mmmm... biscotti.. had some lovely ones in Little Italy recently. I like them better with coffee than tea though. For tea, give me scones.

    Lovely lens and lensrolled on Tea Party Chic!

    Nice lens. I like the CS Lewis quote. I drink a lot of tea and have a cup next to me right now.
  • onlycooking Jul 28, 2010 @ 3:50 pm | delete
    Awesome lens Jodi. I'm heading to brew some fresh Turkish Tea after reading this :)
  • Jodi_k Jul 29, 2010 @ 9:48 am | delete
    I don't think I've ever had Turkish tea (off to investigate). I did have Russian Caravan this morning though.
  • LauraSchofield Jun 12, 2010 @ 4:49 pm | delete
    What a great lens! I'm a particular fan of rooibos tea. I like the vanilla-flavored variety best and drink it on its own or with milk and honey.
  • Jodi_k Jun 13, 2010 @ 6:54 am | delete
    Thanks Laura!

    I never had roobius, though I think I have a sample that came in a box of something else. I'll have to try it.
  • stargazer00 Oct 28, 2009 @ 1:17 am | delete
    I do like a cup of hot tea but only when the weather is chilly, otherwise give me iced.
  • great post Oct 26, 2009 @ 1:14 pm | delete
    great

    Thank you for this lovely lens. I'm a tea and tisane nut and enjoyed it very much.

    Very nice and I love the CS Lewis quote - so true. I am always disappointed when I discover my mug is empty. I really enjoy a cup of tea or two late at night.

    Nicely done!

    This is really interesting. I've tried to "get into" teas--I love the culture of it--but I keep going back to hot cocoa. :) Still, I learned a lot from this lens. Great job here.

    Great, Great lens on tea. We enjoyed the Irish proverb, also. Thank-you for all the tea tips.
