I just got into drinking tea and don’t know much about it.?

Question

I don’t know what kind of tea to try or what to try them with.

I don’t want to by a bunch of expensive tea I wont like but I don’t want to buy a bunch of cheep tea that wont give me a good idea of what it should taste like.

I don’t know what “condiments?” to offer with tea! I don’t know which tea’s you should offer cream with, which teas are you should offer sugar with or which teas you should offer lemon with. I am guessing you would not put cream in green tea and you wouldn’t put lemon in lemon tea?

I am searching the web and I am finding a lot of answers to questions I don’t have so any guide would be greatly appreciated

I grew up drinking lemonade, fruit juices (apple, grape, pear and so on) and soda pop so tea drinking is very foreign to me. I got into it because I was sick and a friend gave me a lemon tea to help me that was very good.

Answer 1

Why not try pearl jasmine tea, i tried some from Teacuppa.com.
you can see the tea on their main page www.teacuppa.com
for beginner maybe you can try ginseng oolong tea or other oolong tea. they are much easier to brew compared to green tea as the water temparature has to be around 70-80 celcius, if not your tea will taste bitter.

You can also try pu erh but as a begineer you might not like the taste of pu erh. maybe try some black tea. like rose yunnan gold or tiramisu black tea.

i tried teacuppa tiramisu black tea, the tea itself has tiramisu taste. i am a tiramisu cake lover so i really love this tea.

my choice would be tiramisu (you can add cream, sugar or honey to this tea), pearl jasmine and ginseng oolong for ginseng oolong.

email tea cuppa for suggestions and they might offer you a $5 discount voucher. I got it once! not sure if they still have the voucher coupon. :)

Answer 2

If it is black or orange pekoe tea, cream or milk and sugar or honey are fine, as is lemon. (Unless you are drinking it to soothe your throat, then avoid the cream or milk and just use lemon and honey.) If it is an herbal tea, don't use cream or lemon. Sugar is fine, but honestly, honey is always better.

Cookies, tea biscuits, biscotti, etc. All good with tea.

Most teas are relatively inexpensive unless you are buying medicinal herbs loose and making it into a tea. But many pre-packaged herbal teas have wonderful health benefits. For example:

Peppermint tea helps aid in digestion and can help alleviate an upset stomach.

Ginger tea is really good to have if you are nauseas, as it helps alleviate nausea.

Chamomile Tea has a calming effect and helps for relaxation and to aid in sleep. It is also helpful in relieving pain.

Green tea is loaded with antioxidents.

Rose Hip tea is loaded with vitamin C so it is helpful for the immune system.

Echinacea Tea helps boost the immune system.

Answer 3

Don't use cream in tea, use milk, sugar or lemon.

I like plain ol' lipton or tetley with milk and sugar.

My mom likes fruity teas. I think they need a little sugar to make them perk up the sweet, fruity flavor.

Really, tea can go anyway you want-if you really like lemony tea, put lemon in your lemon tea! Try out some tea's at a coffee shop or something...what about your friend who suggested the tea in the first place.

Bigelow has a nice variety pack you may want to try. I believe it has Cinnamon, Mint, Lemon, and Earl Grey. I love their Earl Grey.
I would say that any time you serve tea, you should offer the usual condiments: milk, sugar, lemon. You never know what your guests might like.

How approximately making up your guy or woman teabags using the form and style of tea you fancy and a scrap of muslin, or seek by some old cutlery at motor vehicle boot revenues, there was countless issues on the industry which you crammed with tea then plonked right into a mug of boiling water, there would desire to be some nonetheless putting around. I bear in mind them being shaped like teapots and/or spoons or spheres, purely steel shapes crammed with holes and regularly with a short length of chain as a take care of. I hate tea and would detect the scent of tea on someones breath throughout the time of a crowded room, it makes my abdomen churn, and right here i'm helping a tea drinker, i'd desire to be mad

sleepytime tea (celestial seasonings) is fantastic before bed with a little sugar and lemon!

Celestial seasonings has sooooooo many yummy kinds that are mostly just good with a bit of sugar..
