Coffee Talk - What kind of coffee do you like?

That's odd Ingrid. I find it all the time. Only in the bigger containers though. Here's the link to the CoffeeMate website. It gives you a way to find where to buy. If you can't find it near you, you can buy it online.

I just checked for that specific flavor in my area and there is nothing within 5 miles of here.

Funny because I've seen all sorts of flavors of that same brand, except for the chocolate raspberry one. I just noticed that they also have a coconut cream one, so I wouldn't mind trying that one as well.

I also used to like Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger, but don't have that very often, maybe will buy a box once a year or so. I determined that I really like the tea box art better then the tea itself.

I also had once a cup of Hibiscus Tea mixed with something else I can't remember, it came in a little can of tea bags. I think they bought it at Borders Bookstore. Anyways, It was very good. Unusual.

I absolutly love Tazo Chi tea

The Tazo tea that I drink is called Tazo Chai, and it is a spiced black tea with hints of cinnamon, clove, black pepper, cardamon, and star anise. A friend had me try it at Starbucks and I was hooked. When she desribed it I though youck, pepper in tea? I make it at home now half water half milk with surgar and throw in a spoonful of coolwhip,lol. Just as good as starbucks Chai latte but much cheaper,lol. I also love earl gray tea. I guess I am more a tea girl that a coffe girl,lol

Sounds like a pretty yummy combo of spices. If you were to add apple cider to it, you'd end up with something similar to the spiced apple cider that is sold around Christmas. Never thought of adding some cream to it. That sounds even better!

Do you ever drink green tea, Patty?

Tazo is just a brand name like Liptons. I had bought a bunch off of e=bay once years ago, I love the Chamomille, and hubby and I went to a little cafe for breakfast the other day. He ordered Earl Grey, while I like the smell of it, the brand you get in the store is too bitter, but he tried Tazo brand at the cafe and I had a sip (very smooth, not bitter, yummy) Tthere was one flavor of Tazo I didn't care for but cannot remember what it was, just my personal taste.

Avoid Celestial Seasonings at all cost.

What's wrong with Celestial Seasonings? Just curious.

Post by **bookworm** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 3:27 am

Well, in my opinion, it's just not as good as tea can be.

I gues it really depends on your taste, like I said above, I don't like Bigelow brand of Earl Grey tea, but love Tazo brand Earl Grey. Apparently other people like Bigelow, or they wouldn't sell it.

I always liked the artwork on the boxes of Celestial Seasonings, and I like the name, but that's not enough justification for me to spend that much on buying the tea that doesn't taste good to me. lol

Ah, makes sense if you don't like the taste. I was just wondering if it had something in it that is not good for you. Got worried for a bit there.

Nothing beats a cold glass of apple cider! I love warm spice cider during the cold months too, as long as the spices are not loaded with sugar or it'll be TOO sweet.

Aww, Da Queen, it's got to be hot, hot, hot apple cider! Cold would never do!

Of course, I personally wouldn't have cider in the summer either, so that might make a difference.
