Jamie drinks PG tips, and I don't care because I like iced tea.

Twinnings Earl Grey - and I love the stuff I got when I was in England in the black box, it's slightly different than the yellow box here at home.  I like one packet of pink sweetner (I know blaspheme!)  I also like pure peppermint with no sweetner in the evening - very calming.  But must have my Twinnings Earl Grey every morning at work or it's just starting the day off on the wrong foot.  :)

Well, one of the deptartments I am in charge of the ordering and display of at work is the tea section.  Being that this is a health food shop, we have a great selection of herbal teas for medicinal uses (even though a tea infusion is the weakest way to take a herbal supplement...anywho), and we also have the old standards: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, ect. and, of course, the ever popular (for anti-oxidant reasons) green tea.  White tea is becoming more popular now, as it gets more publicity over its even higher antioxidant content than green tea.

As for what I drink personally:

Heath and Heather - Nettle (for detox); straight, no sweetner, no milk.

Eleven O'Clock - Rooibosch (or Redbush); I take it with a heaped teaspoon of Splenda and soya milk or cream.  It's more like a regular black tea, but does not contain the tannins that black tea does and retains it's antioxidants even when milk and sweetener is added to it (unlike the green or the white tea...don't ever put milk in those if you want them to be medicinal).

Twinings - Peppermint; straight.  Good for digestion troubles (bloating and excess wind) and mild headaches.

Yogi Teas - Indian Chai; a nice warming, spice tea, which I take with Splenda and soya milk or cream, as well.  I don't drink it as often as the others, but it does make a nice change from time to time.
I was born in the Summer and at Night...my mother named me AUTUMN DAWN.  True story.

Jamie's...beyond the stars and past eternity.

EMAIL or PM me for information about gigs or about booking me (solo gig) or the band.

Before my eyes are truly open I have a huge (30 oz.) mug of Twinings Earl Grey and Vanilla, stroooooong, with milk.  Later, I switch to Co-Op decaf tea.  It makes a cup that's strong enough. 

Redbush tea with milk for the evening.  Did anyone else try "bush tea" for the first time after reading the Precious Ramotswe books by Alexander McCall Smith?

My mostest favorite tea is a Finnish tea, Keiserin Morsian, also known as Emperor's Bride.  It's a black tea with pineaple and orange.  Nectar of the goddesses!  How can something so simple taste so complex.
When I find a funnier sig than twistedncynical's, it will be here.

Tazo has a wonderful tea called Passion - it has Hibiscus flower, orange peel, rose hips, red poppy, licorice, cinnamon, and lemmon grass.  It brews up a beautiful deep pink color and smells divine.  Mmmmmm....

Yep ... im making some right now!

In order to make it taste like the stuff 'back home', you need to use orange pekoe tea... im pretty sure thats what Lipton's is.   Im using a brand called Jackson's of Piccadilly... it was the only orange pekoe tea i could find. (Bought it in Safeway last summer).
