    Inspired by the coffee thread

    I really love japanese green tea, peppermint tea is great too.

    Next year when i start hiking again I want to pick some leaves of some of the more sagey minty plants and make tea out of them.

    what kind of tea do you all drink?

    I'm a fan of iced tea. Green tea is good though.

    Tea is made from the actual tea plant. Steeping chamomile, peppermint, sage, etc. in hot water is called a tisane, not a herbal tea. Got nothing to do with tea.

    Give me straight up Lapsang Souchong or Earl Grey for the quieter moments - both rugged Victorian English teas.

    cinnamon cardamom
    jasmine
    or else regular red rose tea if I want the caffeinated kind.

    but the cinnamon cardamom stuff is outrageously good, i dunno what I'm going to do when I run out (my mom bought it for me when she visited arkansas a while ago)

    that sounds good

    earlier this year i picked up a book about wild teas, and you can make a tea out of sooo many different wild plants

    so far, i've been sticking with the basics: blackberry leaf, rosehips, nettle, etc...
