Stash is my favorite brand as well, and I love lemon ginger. I got hooked on Stash when I tried their organic black/green blend Earl Grey -- fantastic!
Other favorite brands are Twinings, Numi and Good Earth. Sometimes I'll buy tea from a local tea shop, but it's expensive so it's a once-a-year purchase.
I have a boatload of tea accessories, too -- how many tea balls does one household need? LOL
Oh, and I got some free samples of savory teas from Numi -- jury is still out. It's like drinking boullion, but more interesting.
What different kinds of tea do you like? What kind of tea do you usually drink? Do you usually use teabags or do you use loose tea and steep it in a pot or mug?
I like Earl Grey and also Ginger tea. They come in teabags, and I usually steep them in a teapot, which taste better to me, or in a cup if I am in a hurry.
Tea, Earl Grey, hot. I don't know why I like this, because I pitch an everloving fit when I order sweet tea (The only other kind of tea there is) at a restaurant and I specifically ask for no lemon and they bring it with a big ass wedge of lemon in it.
I do not care for lemon in my tea, but.. I enjoy the taste of Earl Grey if i'm having hot tea, which to me is a very lemon taste.
I drink lots of different teas, but my favorite way to brew is to make it by the pot using loose tea. I never sweeten my tea, but may add cream from time to time.
I like most black teas, orange pekoe, oolong, lapsang souchong (which I believe is a black tea), masala chai, white tea, rooibos (not a true tea), and I like tea both hot and iced.
I do not like green tea, whether hot or iced, because something in it makes me instantly nauseous upon drinking it. It tastes okay, but it doesn't agree with me.
I don't like most herbal infusions...rooibos and peppermint "tea" are the exceptions. I hate chamomile. I love buckwheat tea from Korea.
My fiance is in the Navy and spends quite a bit of time in various parts of Asia...he always brings back tea in various formats...we have compressed tea purchased in vacuum-packed bricks, instant teas from Korea, the aforementioned buckwheat tea, chrysanthemum tea (don't like, it tastes like chamomile and makes me slightly nauseous). We have looooooots of tea.
I had to look it up. Impressive even though they import from the Orient, per Wiki.
Loose leaf sold in tea bags? Each bag is for one cup? Just wondering. I love that they use cheesecloth.
I was watching a BBC episode in which one person said "I can taste the bag". LOL I think she was talking about American tea.
Well yes, they import. They don't grow much tea in France.
If you ever come across it, you MUST try it. It's orgasmic.
I used one bag for two cups when I had the bags.
(You should never squeeze the bags, as it releases tannins which make the tea bitter.)
Thanks! They have a great web site! I'm sure their sales will skyrocket based upon your description.
FIVE HUNDRED VARIETIES?? How did you arrive upon a favorite?
And God bless Ketchum ID for being a distributor! LOL Where's Atlanta on that list?? I'm going to try some.
