I love tea almost as much as I love coffee, as surprising as that sounds. I like to mix various flavors with black tea to come up with my own combinations, and it's the perfect pre-bed habit to begin. Even if non-herbal tea does contain caffeine.
The first time I remember drinking tea that came from a tea press was at a cheesecake cafe (no, not the factory), and it was really cool because you were offered a variety of loose-leaf tea that infuses in the basket. Once it steeped for however long it needed, you pressed down on the plunger and the brewing was complete. You can even keep the filter in the pot without it overbrewing.
Bodum, the purveyor of coffee presses that they are probably best known for selling, has just as nice of a selection of tea presses as well, and so I chose the Bodum Assam 34 oz Tea Press with Glass Handle and Stainless Steel Infuser for this giveaway. There's something special about being able to see the tea steep that makes for a much lovelier tea time experience, and this teapot can also be a decorative centerpiece.

My favorite tea has to be Green tea, I don't think there has ever been a type that I have tried that I didn't actually like! I have to drink it everyday!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the way! Good luck everyone!

ReplyDeleteStarted the program yesterday...one day down. So off to a good start. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like darjeeling tea. And this might be just because I love Wes Anderson, but I'm pretty sure it's also because darjeeling tea tastes really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of mango and peach teas, but my go-to is green. I toss a tea bag in my water bottle every other time I fill it up for a little extra oomph!
ReplyDeleteThat's tough...there is rarely a tea I don't like! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite on a cool morning would be an Earl Grey. I prefer fruity, iced teas when it is warm, such as strawberry and mango. White wedding tea is perfect for special occasions.
This is an April Fools Joke.
ReplyDeleteI drink green tea every day so I suppose it's my favorite :) One day I had a jasmine green tea that was amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, tea! I really like Earl Grey. I'm not a fan of most herbal teas, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI will drink tea over most any other beverage most days. Love love.
ReplyDeleteI like Mint and I also like pomegranate green tea most.
Brands -- I try them all.

While I do love a good cup of green tea... I really love fruit-essence teas, e.g. lemon or peach.... with a little bit-o-honey!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE earl grey tea! ;o)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla Red rooibos tea, though I can drink almost anything. I also like English Breakfast and all things chai-ish.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with the idea of tea as a great pre-bed ritual. CS just came out with a vanilla Sleepytime blend and it's way nummy.
I am a fan of the green tea with a lemon twist.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tea lately is Earl Grey.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this opportunity!

Japanese green tea is my favorite. No sugar, no milk, just tea. Really plain but it's really good.

ReplyDeleteI'm a green tea girl!

I like Earl Grey tea.

I'm a big fan of coca tea, which I brought back from Peru -- not only is it delicious and good for digestion (and altitude sickness, should that be an issue), it reminds me of a wonderful summer I spent in Cusco!
