Devin Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 What are some Teas you like? I tend to do black Teas like chai, I like the smoother bolder flavors, green tea's tend to taste sharper to me more pungent. Quote Mention
Orb Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Matcha tea (Ceremonial Grade) is really good. Also, my favorite black tea of all is Earl Grey, it has such a nice citrus taste, and it smells a little bit like fruit loops. Chai is a close second 🙂 Quote Mention "Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source. Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning!

noomii Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I like herbal blends from YogiTea and chaga. I usually make tea out of what I find outside. Right now I drink a lot of nettles and mugwort. Just realized I can make tea out of the raspberry leaves in our garden, going to do that now. I love tea. ☺️🫠 Quote Mention
Mandy Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Lemon balm, hibiscus, licorice, (don't drink everyday for more than a few weeks), and a bunch of other blends, but those are the main ones. Quote Mention Youtube Channel

I think they say that's crazy high in vitamin c like pine needles, keep you in good spirits if you're stranded in the wilderness. Edited August 16, 2023 by Devin Quote Mention
Orb Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Also, chamomile tea is great. Black cherry tea is great. Quote Mention "Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.

Orb Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 There's a tea brand called Celestial that is good. Quote Mention "Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.

I drink pine needles sometimes too, not really because of the taste Quote Mention
Orb Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 I've been having green tea today with no milk or sugar and it's so much nicer compared to coffee imo 🙂 Quote Mention "Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.

I haven't had one I like, but would like to transition from black tea to reduce caffeine. Quote Mention
Orb Posted August 22, 2023 Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) @Devin I like the Bigelow brand of green tea, especially the organic one. its a lot mellower than coffee and feels more sustainable long term imo. Not to mention all the health benefits of green tea. Also, the caffeine effect is different with green tea. I swear I can have 100 mg of caffeine in the form of coffee and I'll get a crash and be irritated, but that same amount of caffeine from a few cups of green tea don't have that effect on me, I just feel normal and focused on green tea. But I'll usually have 2-3 cups of green tea spread throughout the day. Edited August 22, 2023 by Orb Quote Mention "Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.
