@loki I -love- manzanilla tea, but I haven't had some in a while

@loki a "chocolate" mix of black and cocoa hhhhh

@loki I love my Zen tea.
Green tea, with lemongrass and spearmint~

@loki My two favorite teas are pu-erh and genmaicha.

@loki I suppose chai or Irish breakfast, favorite improper tea has to be mate. Chai gets skim milk added because it's best that way, while Irish breakfast gets skim added because I don't like tannins :P

@loki Drinking a Japanese green at this moment.

Kabusecha. It's lovely. :3

@loki Mine is a cherry blossom infused early gray that I got in France. Have no idea what it's called but man is it good.

@loki Mmmmh, kinda not in the right headspace for a favorite tea, but my favorite wholesaler is Mem Tea of Boscamberville

@loki
I just found this post of yours, so here it goes… I usually like fruit teas, the more red the better. My ultimate favourite was called Kir Royal, a mix of hibiscus, blueberries, papaya, raspberry, strawberry and rose petals; unfortunately it is now unavailable in my vicinity. My other favourite was a nice mix of Ceylon black tea and roast cocoa beans. I always drink it with some linden honey and a hint of cream.

@loki earl grey!

Not that liptons junk version though. What's with that?

@loki I'm not much of a tea drinker tbh, but I am partial to Assam and Sencha for black and green respectively.

@loki
Have you tried genmaicha/'popcorn tea'/'brown rice tea' it's another favorite

@loki
Whoops should read thread before posting

@paragate ooooo, I had that a few months ago, not my thing, but it was a fun experience

@lopsigon
It's surprisingly devisive, the spouse calls it my 'lawn clippings'

@paragate pfff! :joy: I'm glad I wasn't drinking something when I read this.

@loki Zen tea.
It's green tea, with spearmint and lemongrass~

@loki I'll always have a special place in my heart for standard Starfleet-issue Earl Grey

But recently, there's a green-white vanilla chai blend from the shop in my hometown that is just a bit spicy and good

@loki Russian Caravan, sort of tied with Lapsang Souchang.

@loki hard question. i'll say kamill, cos it helps with sleeping problems and insomnia.

@loki I'll try to tell you about a good herb one when I'll spot it

@loki give me an earl grey with extra bergamot, or a classy rooibos + a little dried fruit.

@loki how has no one said ceylon yet? nothing like a good pure ceylon
