In an effort to focus on something else other than the impending labor that should be happening....
What sort of tea do you drink? Do you drink herbal, regular, exotic, red, white, whatever!!
When do you drink it?
Tell me about your tea-ness...

I've been drinking Pregnancy Tea for a while now, but when I want something to relax and enjoy I drink a good cup of chamomile. I've also drank this tea and this one (but this has a nice tang to it). They are both really good.
When I'm not pregnant I love a good dessert tea. Yogi Tea made a dessert tea that I haven't been able to find for a while. It tasted like flavored coffee, but didn't have any caffeine. I can't do a whole lot of caffeine so I just use the herbal stuff.

I avoid caffeinated stuff now, but when I was working a stressful job, I drank two cups a day of Tension Tamer Tea. I think it helped a little. I do like the minty stuff, and I like the fruity teas.
I took my SIL once to a special tea house. It was a few months after her first child was born, so she was actually able to get out by herself for some adult female time. We had 3 different types of tea (going from stronger to lighter) along with light finger food. That was a nice time for the two of us.

I only drink tea- no herbal infusions for me! The only exception is during the summer I will make Celestial Seasonings Blueberry infused outside in the sun. I like white, black and green teas. I mostly drink loose tea, but occasionally will buy prepackaged bags. I mostly drink flavored teas because I abstain from eating a lot of high calorie foods. A flavored tea keeps me out of the candy.
Hot Cinnamon Spice is one of my favorites.
The next order I place will include Florence Tea. I've had it at a local tea room, and it is like liquid dessert in a cup.
When I'm in the mood for something really light, I drink green tea with coconut and lemongrass.
When I want something "plain" I use Genmaicha or Kenilworth, but I have to watch it so it doesn't get bitter. I'd like to find a new plain black tea that I could love, but haven't taken the time to do so.
I don't buy white very often, but love silver tips if I do splurge. I often ask for teas for Christmas; it's an expensive habit.

I had 'tea' once at a tea house. I loved it!! I think we had Lemon Verbena as one of our teas.
I love Earl Grey, but haven't had it in a while as the regular EG is the best. That decaf doesn't taste the same.

I make/drink good old fashion southern sweet tea (decaf). I do enjoy heating a mug of it up in the microwave either in the mornings/evenings and adding some creamer to it. I have never tried grean tea or herbal teas, but I wouldn't mind trying it once.

I drink tea from a place called Tevana. I like their blends and you can mix your teas like I like to mix dragon pearls (green tea) with a roobios tropical blend. It is so yummy. I also like their black chai. They also have a drink service in the stores so if you have one nearby, you can either sample what they have out, or tell the people what you like, and they can suggest something and make it for you.

I love tea ... I even started a PFY thread because dh says I'm addicted to it.
I drink all kinds of tea ... and all flavours. I love loose-leaf teas ... I let them steep a long time, and then filter out the leaves using a coffee filter (I use a coffee pot to make my tea and keep it nice and hot)

I love tea. I used to drink it daily, but haven't had any in a while. I've only met two teas that I've hated - Earl Grey & peppermint. I could probably tolerate EG if I had to, but mint tea is  .
My favorite is, of course, chocolate tea from Trader Joe's. What else would you expect from me?  I don't have a Trader Joe's anywhere near me, but a friend gave me a box of it one time and I was hooked. So hooked, in fact, that I have friends buy it for me and mail it to me so I stay stocked up. It's especially good with some almond milk and a piece of dove dark chocolate melted in. Yum. It's decaffeinated, which isn't normally my thing, but the tea is that good that I just don't care.
Yogi Tea's Mayan Cocoa Spice is good too. Sort of like chai tea, which I also love.
Red tea is great, as is green tea... though I prefer fruity flavored green teas to plain. The Republic of Tea has a grapefruit green tea which is very refreshing. Their black Ginger Peach is awesome too.
I love Bigelow's peach flavored green tea.
I also love English Breakfast.

I rarely drink cold teas, but when I do it's either a lemon or raspberry flavored back tea.
Hot tea, on the other hand, is drunk in my home every morning and often in the evening! We have tons of flavored teas, but my morning favs are usually black (caffeinated) with various fruit flavorings (I like Pickwick brand, especially the blackberry, lemon and cherry), though my all time fav is Lady Grey, which can be hard to find anymore. I snatch up a bunch when I do see it.
Evening / decaf teas around here are peppermint, chamomile (really good for a sore throat) and on those cool fall/winter days, I love Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon... YUM!
I also like my tea strong and sweet, so using a bag twice would never work for me, with the exception of the Apple Cinnamon... that stuff gets strong FAST.

I like Lipton's Vanilla Tea. If you add raw sugar instead of regular white it's wonderful. I'm not a big tea drinker (I drink black or green tea with lemon and maybe honey to disguise the flavor) but I love this one. I take it to school for my breaks when the weather's colder (or the A/C is running full blast). After Ramadan's over I'll take a stash to keep in my desk.

Y'all are going to give me an expensive hobby!! LOL!
Lady Grey, what's that like?
That Florence Tea sounds wonderful!
Sandy what does that Good Earth tea taste like? And if I read the website correctly they have an herbal/non-caffeinated version?
Anyone know a really good fally chai tea? Hubby loves chai and I'd like to get him some for his birthday, which is next week. I don't want him to think I've forgotten him in all the baby-ness going on around here.

I just tried the Orange Herbal Tea last night and was surprised that I liked it.
