Idc if it is leaf tea or bag but I really like tea, and my favorite is lemon leaf tea imported from countries in the uk. And I'm about to try some peach tea, which isn't imported, and I'm wondering if I should get a different kind of tea, so what kind is the best tea, and don't say chai tea. Not only, unrelated to tea, i was watching the nba playoffs and need some peoples judgement, so here's the spill, I was looking at the nba playoff brackets, and, im at the dilema of in the western conference, you have the spurs and okc. okc is ranked 1 but u nvr know. who do u think is gonna come out to go up and in how many games? I think it'll be in 7 this is so close, but I'm not sure the final outcome, might even come down to 1 point 107-106 game 7

you've got to try some oolong or chrysanthemum tea. Green tea infused with cherry blossoms is lightly flavored but tasty in my opinion. For every day though, you can't beat regular Lipton 5 bags per 12 cup pot with about 1 cup of sugar mixed in and about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. You can make it in lukewarm water and have it ready in under 5 minutes to drink cold without going through the hassle of boiling the water and then cooling it off again on a hot day. Also, with that much sugar it is almost as potent as a good cup of coffee, but we can save that for another time.

Almost my sentiments exactly, Xanadu. The only problem I see is the pollution of the pure taste of tea. Lemon has it's place and for some it's in tea but I just like a simple tea like LiptonĀ®, lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar.
No offense to the lemon. I made hundreds of pitchers of real lemonade when I was a child. And no, I didn't sell it. It was too good to share. How I miss the days when real lemonade was economically feasible (by that, I mean otherwise free since they grew in and just outside my back yard). In my opinion, tea is just as refreshing as lemonade and inexpensive enough to drink all summer.

sugar doesn't "melt" right unless its added when hot. hate having a pile of sugar in my tea.. I hate living in yankee country where no one knows how to make sweet tea properly.
Also fun tea fact. there is only 1 plant that is tea. Orange pekote,earl grey, oolong, even green tea is the same plant. just different ways its prepared/ cured.

I like to drink Arnold Palmer lemonade ice tea if like that more, it is the perfect blend supported by a famous golfer.
On the tea matter, I will try Xanadu's idea as it sounds good, I'm not sure if I'd load it with that much sugar as I'd rather be calm than energetic, if I need to I'll put more in but I'll start with half a cup of sugar.
The peach tea I had was good, If you do 3 bags of Celestial Peach tea bags in a regular sized tea pot with about a quarter of a cup of sugar it'll really bring out the flavor, I don't suggest you drink it cold because the sugar will form as precipitate at the bottom and it won't be nice to your taste buds. Celestial makes really good fruit flavored tea and I think you guys should try it. Also, scottish green leaf tea is good in any proportion.
