On tea
So I've successfully lowered the amount of caffeine I drink daily after I realized how terrible it is for your bones. Don't believe me? Google caffeine and bones. I have bad enough bone density since I don't do a lot of weight-bearing so I figured the last thing my poor bones need is my daily coffee fix.
So I've been trying to drink a lot more tea. True, some tea still contains caffeine, but it's significantly less than coffee. I've discovered I really like tea. And the good thing about it is that, like coffee, it drive my dentist nuts. So I don't have to lose one of my greatest pleasures in life: attempting to cause my dentist as much pain as he's caused me. My favorite teas are the ones that truly taste like tea is supposed to taste: black tea, green tea...
The tea I do not enjoy:
Rose tea
Vanilla tea
Pomegranate green tea
Peppermint tea
My favorites:
Apple green tea
Honeybush caramel tea
English breakfast tea
Peach ginger tea
Chamomile tea
I really like Chai too, but I recently picked up some Tazo Chai and it's the most potent tea I've ever had. Almost as strong as coffee. And usually I enjoy my tea strong with flavor, but this stuff I steep for about 5 seconds. Any longer and it's wretched.
I think Tazo is weird anyway. Here's what it says on the back of the box:
"When the spirit of a village started to fall and people lost their enthusiasm for life, the leader would often summon a tea shaman to distribute Tazo, which gave the community a renewed sense of joy."
Crazy talk. This Chai makes me feel a lot of things but a "renewed sense of joy" is not one.

Hello,
Tea dork. I brought you some from Hawaii.
Posted by: Steph at March 25, 2007 10:39 PMWhere can I find Green apple tea?
Would you want some loose leaf Black Currant tea? I've got a HUGE bag in my freezer since I couldn't find it anywhere in a smaller quantity.
I also get some delicious tea from a little store in MA. I have to have it shipped to me now, but it's soooo worth it.
Posted by: Chelsea at March 23, 2007 01:13 PMI am a big fan of Tazo green zen tea. It's probably my favorite green tea. I just don't read the box. Green tea shouldn't be steeped for longer than 3 minutes and black tea really only needs 5 minutes of steeping tops.

I agree, but it seems we have a different idea on what that means. For me, it's the leaves being able to speak for themselves. None of the "Cherry Vanilla" stuff that Celestial is trying to sell nowadays. The more bitter, the better. All this caramel and cherry vanilla business is causing a generation gap for me (I drank most tea as a preteen or so, and I'm 31 now. Never heard of half the flavors on the market today!).
Gotta agree on that label you quoted though. Only thing that makes me more nauseated than hippies is hippie posers. Especially ones that try too hard.
