I was recently introduced to the world of loose leaf tea and have come to enjoy trying new teas and mixing favorite types together. A mug of tea now has a place on my desk.

Just curiously, anyone else have an interest in tea?

Ive tried some teas that were good but then it became a hassle to make and I went back to water.

I drink 2 of these every morning. Once in a while I'll drink 3.

MESA! :thud:
I like my tea just like my men. Cold & bitter.
ftfm.

:)

Tea, sometimes water, and sometimes cashew or almond milk is all I ever drink. Don't drink soda (unless it's Fresca mixed with alcohol, lol).

I like a little tea with my ice. Straight up, no lemon, no sugar.

Sometimes I can go for hot tea, but have never been into loose leaf tea. I do, however, like honey in hot tea.

I waffle between bagged and loose. Teavana has some cool concoctions, but they can get pricey. Though with the tins you can get it in, I think it can last a few months or year.

There are some other tea shops around. I think there's one at Tempe market place.. Not sure if Duck n Decanter is still open.

I rarely drink bottled tea as most of it is 'instant' tea. Or has crap added.

Einstein's used to have a green tea, ginsing, honey mix that was amazing, but they no longer have it.

As for bagged, I've always liked Stash, but it's becoming hard to find. The Moroccan mint is my favorite.

The yogi peach detox (bagged) is by far the worst tea I've ever drank. It's like liquid fart.

...

I've gone the Teavana route, it is pricey but, for right now, totally worth it.

Same. Dumped soda, it's now water, black coffee, or home brewed tea. A little Arnold Palmer is an occasional guilty treasure.

I really like loose leaf tea. I keep one a thermos with a tea ball; it's awesome.

I have lowered my soda consumption by a lot and replaced it with tea. Love QT's unsweetened ice teas a lot. Love hot tea too but more so in the winter.

Pineapple Papaya is good. If you have a Samurai Sams near your work, they have this unsweetened blackberry jasmine tea that is awesome.

I love me some sweet tea from Chick fil a. Can only have it every once in awhile because there has to be tons of sugar in it

I like the sweet tea at Culver's.

Come to think of it, I like pretty much everything at Culver's.

Bought myself an iced tea maker on Amazon earlier this month. Not sure why I didn't do it sooner.

Chipotle's iced tea is my hands down favorite tea, and the company that makes it (S&D Tea) sells their stuff on Amazon, so I got some of that, too.

I have dramatically cut down on my soda consumption and have replaced it with unsweetened iced tea. Don't really miss soda all that much.

I dropped soda years ago to where now it is just a treat i have like once a week. I am always tempted to start drinking tea but it is soooo much better with sugar so I end up just sticking with water.

I bought a cold water machine for my house, best investment ever. The entire family drinks a TON of water now and we buy almost nothing else to drink.

I used to get arrowhead delivered in the 5 gallon jugs...absolutely loved it...always fresh, always cold, always refreshing..... never drank so much water as I did during those few years. Now I buy it by the case....go through 3 to 5 cases of Dasani a week.. love that stuff

I take my jugs to the grocery and fill them myself but honestly that just means half of the month I have no water because I keep forgetting the jugs.
