Tea Recommendations

[kaoz187]

hello...I wunna get into some other teas...currently I just drink manzanilla tea...aka chamomile. the only stores I have around here is like vons...walmart..that's pretty much it. so any good teas I can get in those stores? and also any tips on how to drink em...adding honey milk etc. also on another note I can get really good honey locally :3 from citrus nectar. good stuff.

Kaoz, if you dont mind ordering online, theenglishteastore.com. is a great place to order bulk loose from

You don't want to add milk to anything except strong black tea or MAYBE MAYBE rooibos, though I don't do it.  Definitely not chamomile

i cant drink chamomile... Green tea. white tea, black tea and earl grey is where its at! many Chinese stores have amazing tea actually.

Most Chinese stores have the low grade stuff. You have to look hard to find something of quality, but it's not impossible.

idk i happen to like oolong tea :-) and some chinese stores have very high grade stuff but it is expensive my fav teas though are Japanese! and earl grey of course :-P lol

Tieguanyin is the sine qua non of oolong, see if you can find that - but most Chinese groceries don't carry the real thing (a lot is labelled as such, but isn't really (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieguanyin)

i have to agree with hassouni on this one, the asian market that i have local here doesnt carry  a very high quality tea of any sort,  if i want a good tea, i have to go to the local tea store, but i usually have to end up ordering it offline,  except for my middle eastern teas, those i get local,  my pu erh, and my lapsang, and russian caravan are ordered.
