The more the merrier, as is said! :)

Hello everybody! I'm brewing up a pot of a sensational second flush Darjeeling to serve with the tray of homemade strawberry tarts that I brought for dessert. Y'all are the best! :)
:::Hugs:::

I hope you don't mind I'll drink my rooibos. But I will try one of your tasty tarts! :D Thank you!

I love rooibos, San Francesco Bay, it's my nighttime tea. And I would love some of that Darjeeling, New Vinland.

Me too, Storm, I'm crazy about Rooibos! Rooibos is an essential element of my evening/bedtime ritual. I especially like mine with a bit of milk and honey.

Cheers, San Francesco Bay! :)

Glad you're here, Mattie!

Have you folks tried the orange Rooibos? Very tasty.

I add milk too! Never tried it with honey, though. May be giving that a go!

I'll have to give this one a whack too!

Almonaster Nuevo wrote:Have you folks tried the orange Rooibos? Very tasty.

Sure have, Al. I have a box in my tea pantry. It's very tasty indeed - One of my favourites!

Storm, definitely give the honey a go. It's amazing!

I'm quite fond of vanilla Rooibos too. Has anyone tried that?

All of this Rooibos talk has now compelled me to go and brew a pot to have with my dessert!

I'm about to enjoy a cup of decaffinated coffee :p

And yes I have tried vanilla Rooibos - delicious mmm

Vanilla rooibos? Why have I not yet heard of this? Must try and hunt some of this out!

I think we ought to form a Canadian Tea Party! We can discuss our favourite teas, the history of tea and just to annoy another certain Tea Party south o' the border, we'll occasionally ordain a gay marriage or celebrate diversity of culture. :P

All this talk of tea is making me thirsty..! *Looks for the pot of rooibos New Vin made for his dessert...*

Hey, funny you should mention a Tea Club, but here at Yggdrasil, we have our own lil' corner set aside just for relaxing and grabbin' a cuppa.

As for a Canadian Tea Party that goes against the principles of that Grand Ol' white elephant in the Congress (the IRL US Tea Party), well, many laughs would sure to be had if they did encounter a literal Tea Party, like the one my learned colleague here has discussed. XD

Nothing can beat tea and doughnuts for hearty conversation, where ideals first flourish and grow, setting the world's table aright.

I say we do it, Storm! Brilliant idea! :)

Mattie - Love your tea statement! "Setting the world's table aright." A beautiful truth!

:::Pours Storm and Mattie a cup of vanilla rooibos:::

Cheers! To good friends and the Canadian Tea Party!

*Raises his cup and delicately sips, savouring the flavours.*

Ahh...

Hello, I have just brewed a pot of orange and cinnamon rooibos. And speaking of the history of tea, has anyone read "A History of the World in 6 Glasses" - a history of the beverages that have shaped the world (beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and cola.

Also I have some problems with dairy so I am having my tea with macadamia 'milk'. I have tried a few, but oat 'milk' is my favourite.

Macadamia milk sounds good. I have tried almond milk and that was pleasant.

My love of tea is nothing short of epic. Even as a small boy my nickname was Tea - I was constantly asking for it!

Of the 65+ varieties in my tea pantry, Margaret's Hope second flush Darjeeling is my absolute favourite! An ethereal elixir!
For a tasty quick fix, Yorkshire Gold tea cannot be beat.

Canadian eggplants

Eggplant milk is pretty great, too. And eggplant tea. And eggplant everything.

We have somewhat limited varieties in our rural community shops. Disappointingly macadamia 'milk' is not much different from almond 'milk' except in price. I haven't seen "Margaret's Hope second flush Darjeeling" or eggplant tea or eggplant milk, but would love to try them all. Variety is the spice of life! Eggplant milk sounds good for smokey Lapsang Souchong.

Sri Lankan friends recently gave us a large sample pack of different teas because they know we love them. For years I have favoured Earl Grey and Russian Caravan from Twinings, but enjoyed the Oolong from that Dilmah sample pack. So I will try to find that.

Do you have a position on loose leaf tea in a pot versus tea bags? I like the ritual of spooning just the right amount of leaf tea into a warmed pot, tea cosy on and sitting by my study window where at least a little sunshine warms me most mornings as I read my latest book (just now "A History of the World in 6 Glasses"). But a nice big mug rather than a little cup and saucer. Bliss.

Oh my! You are a tea person - A tea person with excellent taste at that! I love Earl Grey, Russian Caravan and Oolong too. I tend to gravitate to Darjeeling and Chinese teas - Keemun and Yunnan are among my favourites. Love Ceylon tea too - Kenilworth Estate. African tea can be heavenly. Kenya Milima is wonderful, as are the teas from Rwanda. Learning to really appreciate Indian Assam again.
I vastly prefer loose leaf and the ritual that accompanies brewing and drinking it. That said, sometimes it's nice to have the convenience of sachet tea - Some are quite good - Love my Yorkshire!
Let's begin a Canadian Tea Party thread on the forum where we can really have some conversation about the world's Most Precious libation! :)

And a big Amen to that!! :D

I'm a big fan of Sri Lankan teas. They're very subtle. Chinese teas tend to be softer on the pallet but strong in flavour and Indian and Kenyan teas are very deep and aromatic. Tea drinkers will get what I mean!

I must confess, I'm not a fan of Earl Grey though little fact: it was named after a local lad from my neck of the woods. :D
