Has anyone tried Bigelow Chinese Fortune? It's an oolong. How about Trader Joe's Jade? Is there another oolong you'd like to recommend?

Now I know why decaf tea tastes so insipid! All the best flavors have already been leached out with the caffeine.
Since I had to cut out caffeine I've almost stopped drinking tea. Used to love several of the Jackson's of Piccadilly (loose leaf) teas. And Tazo green tea with ginger and pear ... yum! (I still sneak a cup of that once in awhile.)

My favorite is mint tea. I drink tons of it, both hot, and cold, and the best I've found is Celestial Seasonings Mint Magic. I also like the herbal spice teas, Bengal Spice being my favorite. Both of those have enough natural sweetness not to require any added sweetening. I like to buy them by the 12 pack from Amazon.
I've tried and tried to like green tea, since it's supposed to be so good for you. It's okay, but not something I love. Funny, when I was sick as a kid, my mom would make me tea with milk and sugar (Earl Grey or Constant Comment) and toast or crackers.

Oolong: find the tea dealer in your local Chinatown and ask for the high-grade stuff. It may be pricey. It will look less like what you think of as tea and more like the top picture at the Wikipedia page on oolong. When you brew it, the rolled leaves will unfurl.

Cloud, I'd get a similar dosing from my mom -- invariably Lipton's. That, and light feedings like chicken soup or poached eggs on toast. These were invariably spoken of, Scottishly, around our house as "dropped" eggs.

I do drink Green tea from time to time, but mainly I drink ordinary tea: PGTips or Yorkshire Tea. I use bags not loose leaves, I don't have a tea-pot I make it in the mug. Lot of milk, no sugar
I think I was about 3 or 4 when I first had tea. My whole family are big tea drinkers. |

Mint + chamomile together, Rzkenrage? Sounds kinda yucky.
