Tea Enthusiasts

Tea, like Cannabis, comes in many different varieties and flavors- it's extremely diverse. It's an awesome drink both hot and cold and it even has some health benefits. A warm glass goes great with a joint, or a bowl, or a vape (you get the point). What's not to love?!

I thought I would start a thread for the tea lovers of GC to share their favorite types/flavors, share great places to buy tea, review teas, and everything else that is associated with tea.

A couple of my favorites are Jasmine Pearls Green Tea, Dao Ren Green Tea, and Red Roobios. I would highly recommend trying all of them. I buy from a place called Mountain Rose Herbs. I would definitely check them out if you prefer to buy organic and fair trade.

Feel free to share!

oh man some vanilla chai whilst hitting the bong... bliss:smoke:

Agreed man! Nothing beats taking a toke and then taking a sip

I like to brew up a nice pot of oolong, add a few doses of tincture, and melt the day away Canna goes great with jasmine, and especially with a few different oolongs.

My cupboard is, at any given time, full of about 20-30 different kinds of tea (I have a 'Dragon Pheonix Pearl Jasmine' in stock as well).

i just picked up some monkey picked oolong from teavana last weekend and im loving it. i like having a cup of chamomile peppermint tea too.

i need to try some new teas!

oh man, my favorite tea are mostly from the oolong category. If it's oolong tea I always brew them tea ceremony style
Some of my favorites are
- Dong Ding Oolong
- Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robes)
- Tie Luo Han
- Jin Xuan Oolong
- Tie Guan Yin (yun xiang type, not sure if can find it in US, I can't find any online yet unless I go wholesale sites in china which is simply too much...)
- Silver Needle
- pre qing ming dong ting Bi Luo Chun
- Matcha
- Vanilla Roobios
- English breakfast tea brewed with orange rind, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg with milk and sugar/honey

But honestly, I can't do traditional tea ceremony right if I am baked. I always over brew cos I space out lol

I absolutely love the jasmine teas as well. They're just so floral! I'm going to go brew a cup right now!

I'll have to add peppermint chamomile to my list, that sounds great.

Indeed you do! There is a good list going here, so you take your pick.

It looks like i really need to try some Oolong! The next order I place that will definitely be what I get. I need to finish what i have first though

How was the Vanilla Rooibos? I saw that and was contemplating buying a bit. I love Rooibos as it is, so I feel like the vanilla would just make it even better.

I like:

English Breakfast tea

Green Tea

Green Tea/White Tea + mint

Peppermint herbal tea

Lemon herbal tea

chamomile

I always thought that tea only came in gray or red rose but now we got all kinds of tea's around. My new favorite is Acai tea, or Black Currant Tea, that's some tasty right there

You guys inspired me last night to make and share a fresh pot of blended Rock Oolong and Pearl Jasmine tea, with hash tincture.








And while I had my 'stash' out I couldn't help but make up some crisp, buttery hash n' cashew
tea cookies (spiked with a pinch of english breakfast & caravan tea).



(There are a few over seas vendors I like to use, but Stash has access to so many teas,
that every time I plan to place an order for just one or two simple, staple items, I end up
with a dozen or so that I didn't plan for )




Needless to say, it's been a pretty good morning

Love tea, but some won't let me sleep.

Wow BadKitty! That is a sweet little setup/stash you've got going there! After next years harvest I'm going to look into making some hash tincture. Do you just add it to the tea after you steep it?

Now I'm really wanting to go buy some new teas. I'm quite jealous!

Send some of those snacks my way

I like to add a dose (or three ) to a pot after steeping, just as it's ready to drink. I almost always have a pot of tea sitting next to me!

I usually prefer ceramic or the bodum glass tea pots, but I tend to relocate frequently, and the old stainless kettle has stuck with me through three or more shattered bodums and a number of cracked ceramics.
Most seem to wind up destroyed by unfortunate friends, helping me move.


I do have a photo tutorial for glycerin tincture in the stickies, over in the edible section. Wild Will has a good thread as well with a ton of member discussion on the topic. Once you've harvested, have a look.

aw man badkitty I think I have to go brew some tea and smoke a bowl after seeing that. (and gonna try to make some tincture sometime...)

Carlo: I like the vanilla roobois a lot, I think the vanilla seems to make it a little more smooth and mellow, but that's bias since I love vanilla ^^
If you want to get into oolongs I would recommend dong ding type, seems like most my friends who had chinese tea with me find that the most easy drinking

Thanks man. I love vanilla too so I think I will definitely enjoy it. I'm going to look into some Oolongs asap.

I'm thinking of trying some Rooibos tea here soon. Whenever I get money within the next few days.

Usually I just drink sweet tea.

I used to drink some African Orange Mango tea but I can no longer find it anywhere.

i'm a tea fanatic. i used to just drink green tea (bags), but then i got a robot-shaped tea infuser, so i've started buying loose tea. my favourites are green, yerba mate, coffee pu'erh, and white. i'm not a fan of herbal or fruity teas.

I like the herbal "Sleepy Time" tea you can get at any grocery store, it can make all the difference when you're trying to unwind before bed. Matcha is good when I'm trying to cleanse my system, even though the taste is acquired.
I also like Moroccan Mint Green Tea especially iced on a hot summer day, and Geisha Green Tea has a really nice flavor. Spring Cherry Sencha is a favorite of mine iced, and I also like a stout black ice tea that's been left in the sun to steep. Never any sweetener, it ruins a good tea.

Sorry guys, but a nice cup of coffee > tea anyday:wave:
