wanta try flavored teas

Jun 19, 2008 4 Replies

Ssso I'm getting a bit bored with the standard teas (done 'em all) and am looking at the flavored teas in the Upton catalog. Any recommendations?



Try Earl Grey TE15 and Milange de Chamonix TE94. I also liked their Sweet Almond Green TG19. Toci

Visit an herbal store and add your own dried fruits and flowers. In the business these are called tisanes.

I'm not up on Upton's but I'll offer some of my favorite flavored teas and if they sell any then they're worth a shot:

Monk's Blend (vanilla/pomegranate/black tea) Ginger Peach (black tea) Blackberry Sage (black tea) Strawberry Sencha (green tea) Earl Grey (they have an extra bergamot version at Uptons I like) Jasmine green (green tea) Canadian Icewine Tea (black tea, I only know of Mlesna brand) Osmanthus Oolong (oolong)

That's the best I can think of off the top of my head

I like the suggestions for herbal and blended teas. British teas, like Earl Grey, are one place to investigate blends. The herbals include some "traditional medicinals" that have marked flavors, like the herba tussin and lemon echinacea for the throat. Other medicinal teas that people favor include the elderberry and camomile. I read that some tea drinkers with jaded taste buds even try some with a little monkey dung in it.

But rather than get into prescribing variations for bored tea tastes, I suggest that one address tea drinking as a meditation practice, assuming that a relaxed, harmonious, balanced and centered state of mind helps appreciate tea, and vice-versa. bookburn
