Smashraj84 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hey all,After a few months of hookah'in I realized something has been missing. Then I remembered when I was sitting/laying in the hookah cafe in Spain, I always had a pot of tea to drink while I was smoking. I tried searching the forum for tea and only found a thread or two that talked about drinking tea but not specific brands or types. I was wondering if anyone had any specific brands and/or types of tea that they like to drink while smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashraj84 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Don't bust on Lipton. Whenever I'm making ice tea I use Lipton tea bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugia Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Bigelow makes an excellent mint tea that should make an excellent and rather traditional companion to hookah smoking. Remember to sugar this fairly heavily to approximate the sort of mint tea traditionally served in the Mideast. Wonderful stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornellius Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Lipton ice tea and some people said Turkish Apple tea (lol I never saw such a thing in here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashraj84 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'm thinking of trying a Chai. The different spices and the strength should compliment the hookah well. I'll let ya know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I really dislike Bigelow tea. Generally I drink Stash or Twinings if I want real tea. Tazo makes good herbal tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 I got a pack of Stash Chai. It's absolutely delicious. I'm smoking it with some fumari Tropical Punch. What a great combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Decaf Stash green tea with 4 or 5 mint leaves crushed up and a bit of sugar. Let steep for 7-10 minutes and enjoy. It's great with shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeshabum Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Lugia has it right. In Israel the Arabs always serve very sugared tea with the nargieleh. sheeshabum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Moroccan tea is a must.... I don't know how they make it but i know it is the best tea I've ever had!!! Anyone have any I know:TeaWater Sugermilkbut is there more?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeshabum Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Was it a light cloudy color to the tea? Maybe what you thought was milk was realy Arak the Arab answer to the Greek "Ouzo". Its made from anise. Its great. In the bottle its non colored and clear. Pour a few or more drops into a glass of clear water and it clouds up. Cheers.

Terence Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Maybe I'm going to try get some Arak (It has been way too long!!) and try that in some tea... if it not that same I may have to put some Arak in the boal cos that realy fires the smoke up.Thanks Sheeshabum for your reply.

JByer323 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Stash, Tazo, or plain old Lipton, country style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 I think Tazo is overrated and kinda expensive.I got stash last night and it was a wonderful addition to my hookah experience. I'm gonna be doing it from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 In Egypt, they drink the crap out of Lipton tea. Another favorite of mine for hookah smoking is Hibiscus tea. The Egyptians use it to settle the nerves before bed time. In the summer, serve it cold. Of course, this needs sugar to taste, and I found just a tad of lemon juice really gets it going. It's a "fruity/floral" taste. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 An interesting topic, because I've found that drinking something mild like tea or even water while smoking hookah can enhance your ability to enjoy the flavor of the smoke. Sometimes after smoking for a bit it seems your palette can get kinda dry and the flavor gets dull...Coffee can be good, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
