    Anyone into using tea kettles? Do you brew your tea in a kettle or just microwave it? What are some of you favorite teas? My favs are jasmine, ginger peach, chai, and vanilla rooibos..

    Lately I have been drinking a lot of yerba mate. It gives me a lot of energy, and is a good substitute for coffee sometimes.

    Green tea for me. I just brew it with a tea bag right in the cup. I also like black tea with a lot of sugar.

    Yes, green tea is very nice on so many levels. Sans sugar for me, though... unless it's honey.

    Kettle then I heat the pot and throw out that water and place tea in pot and boiling water. Let steep and enjoy.

    I have been having a lot of herbal teas lately. Bengal spice is a fav and so is one that is by PC, peppermint, ginger and fennel.

    I drink green tea sometimes but why does it taste fishy?.. I prefer it mixed with a fruit flavor.

    I've had some mint green tea earlier tonight, and some mixed berry tea with almond milk...I figured it would be berries and cream flavored.

    Green tea is stellar for you on many levels.

    Sencha is really my fav. I should actually brew it in a small pot but don't have one so I just put a bunch of the loose leaf in a big cup and brew it till all the leaves stay sunk. Sencha makes some stout-ass green tea lol

    Mint is my favorite, it's so good.
    Without sugar.

    I've recently purchased something for weight loss, it tastes okay, so we'll see how that goes.

    Hello,

    I'm a coffee addict, but when I'm out in nature I enjoy freshly picked mint from time to time. Chewing it or brewing a tea is equaly good.

    Uhm, what?

    Regards

    Hello,

    I think I had seen pics of you. Even the best homemade cookies can't be so rich in calories. I bet a chocolate cookie (with sugar icing ;)) that you still look great at the beach ;).

    Regards

    I used to drink green tea every day but I started drinking coffee so I haven't had green tea in a few months. I drank it by itself with no sugar or honey.

    I like herbal teas too. I often drink celestial seasonings tension tamer tea. It had various herbs in it for taste but the main ingredient is eleuthro, which is an herb known for helping the body cope with physical stress. It gives me a great natural energy if I drink it every day for a couple of weeks.

    I don't really use a tea kettle, I just boil water in a pot and pour it over the tea bag.

    Yerba Mate, green tea, chai. I love trying new kinds. I like kettles, there's something about the ritual of making and drinking tea that makes it special.

    Mmmm cookies o_O

    Yerba Mate sounds good.
    We have a really nice tea shop here, but I avoid it because I end up wanting to buy everythingthere.
