    I drink coffee most mornings to get me up for work but I've recently been enjoying a cup of tea and a biscuit in the evenings or if I'm feeling stressed lol. :52: Better than eating junk food!

    I'll mention 2 in addition to the normal teas and Earl Grey.
    The first I bought in Canada, it's called Icewine Tea. Obviously it contains grapes mixed with black tea and you can get different flavours, the one I tried was Blueberry and it was great.
    The second I picked up in Edinburgh and it's Whisky flavoured! It's not alcoholic or strong like a whisky but whatever ingredients they put in taste really good. I need to try their other Scottish ones, I know they have a Thistle one too...

    Just had a cup of green tea there. Kinda tasteless. Need to find something to alternate with my camomile tea, it gets a bit bland after a while too.

    If you don't mind paying a bit more for a special treat you should buy yourself a small bag of American yellow saffron and use it to make a cup of tea.

    [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thai-Safflower-Saffron-American/dp/B00EX8PEBK/ref=sr_1_1/276-1861717-9542724?ie=UTF8&qid=1449966887&sr=8-1&keywords=american+yellow+saffron+tea"]Thai Safflower Saffron, American Saffron: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41LtAXziWFL.@@AMEPARAM@@41LtAXziWFL[/ame]

    It tastes nice and it's good for your intestines and digestive system. Put 3/4 of a teaspoon into a tea strainer and allow it to brew for about 15mins before removing the strainer.

    That link isn't working for me, for some reason.

    Will google it instead. I definitely don't mind paying extra for high quality tea. When I was in Singapore in September, I was lucky enough to try some Chinese yellow tea. It's quite rare and is only harvested once a year. Was really strong and was £50 for a pot of it but well worth it.

    What does that winter spice stuff taste like? It looks interesting.

    Can't quote you (or anyone else) for some reason.

    Aye, I was on holiday so thought '* it' and tried it. Not very often you get to try a tea that rare. Used to not be able to buy it outside of China until recently.

    Well it's quite a nice, mild sweet taste, in my opinion. Caffeine free too, so it's the one I drink most after 7pm. Usually have a couple of mugs before bed.

    The back of the box says, "Glowing crimson like an inviting fire - spicy, sweet cinnamon and rich tasting liquorice snuggle down with fragrant rosehips, hibiscus and blackberry leaves". :56:

    I can't taste the cinnamon or the liquorice flavours but the blackberry is probably the strongest flavour in it along with the hibiscus.

    They could have 'I'm a big poof' written on the boxes and I'd still drink them. Far too good. :smiley-laughing002:

    As I edited above there, I've never had a cup of tea in my puff. Maybe something I'll get into as I get older.
