Has anyone drunk the drinks like Green Tea, Black Tea or whatever?

i have drunk Green Tea made in US, but the taste is not as good as those in my native country--Taiwan. I still think the drinks sold here are pretty good. But I love the ones from Tawan. Also that milk tea and black tea are nice-tasted from Japan. I think US market should try to focus on making milk tea.

Milk teas with tapioca balls in them, sold under the name "Boba," are pretty popular in Southern California. Not sure how popular they are in other regions of the states.

I have Japanese green tea, and also "Black" tea as you call it from India, as well as 8 different Chinese teas, herbal teas and flavoured teas and I also make my own Chamomile tea from the garden :)

 

I don`t think you`ll find Many UK households without Tea of some sort in it!

I have multiple black teas, green tea, some china tea and quite a few herbal/fruit infusions to boot. Nothing beats good ol' black tea with milk in my very English opinoin.

 

I'm sure there'd be more black tea in the US if they could just get it around thier heads that the water has to be boiling.

I don't think Americans really understand tea.

 

I asked for a hot cup of tea in a cafe in Florida and the waitress heated up an iced tea in the microwave for me. I thought it was a very odd flavour and she just thought i was very odd.

 

Japanese green tea is the best green tea IMO, but nothing beats a good cup of strong Indian tea with milk. Although Tibetan tea with a knob of Yaks butter is close.

Does the US actually produce tea, or just import and blend?

 

There's one tea plantation in South Carolina, other than that it's imported.

Sad, but very true.

Definitely not normal (maybe it is for Florida where it's very hot and humid). Most restaurants in the US will give you hot water and a (*gag*) teabag (convenience, you know). Fresh, loose tea is rarely done unless the restaurant is geared towards coffees and teas.

We've had a coffee thread before, but that's my beverage of choice over tea. I have a great coffee maker that grinds fresh beans and makes it on a timer so I don't have to fumble around before I've had any (I do have to load it up the night before * lazy sigh *).

 

Currently I blend medium roasted Columbian beans with an organic espresso roast for bite (3 to 1 ratio). A dash of half and half for a creamy texture and I'm good to go.

 

 

Mmmmmm, coffee....

Tea isn't cool anymore. Meh, what are gona do... :P
So if dishwater with a dash of earwax were considered cool, you're there, huh? Isn't what you enjoy part of the equation?
I'm lazy. I just walk my little butt to Starbucks.
As long as you're not doing it to be cool....

Its hardly sophisticated, but as far as im concerned you can't beat a good ol' cup of PG Tips: black and strong enough to kill.

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, t

I think US produce green tea, which is so-called "Arizona Green Tea."
This is either 1) a AriZona brand packaged tea-flavored drink, or 2) a recipe using honey, sugar, lemon, ginseng, and Lipton teabags.

Ah yes, just had one, quite refreshing in this awful climate, but i still prefer a good hot mug of char.

I went to Albertson few weeks ago, and I bought the one marked with green tea and sweetened. When I drank it at home, I almost spit out.

Still recommend Asian Green Tea.

I always end up driving out the tea's own flavor with lemon and rasberry syrup. I don't know what's wrong with me... wait, that's sad ol' american ice tea... I guess I'm not welcome here.

Green tea with Jasmine flower petals is very delicate and refreshing. And probably a bit better for you than tea with syrups added.
