I like Teavana!

There's a Teavana in MV. I found it to be terribly overpriced.

I think I need to locate some new tea around here. I usually reserve getting teas for when I'm in Cali (and because my go-to tea is at Peet's and I have friends that still work there, so...)

I've been really enjoying this year's anniversary blend of Peet's tea. It It has a slightly sweet taste on its own, and doesn't really need to have anything added to it. The anniversary coffee this year is also quite good, btw.

Of course, I tend to gravitate towards the black teas. Two of my favorites are Scottish Breakfast and Russian Caravan. I've found them to be a nice occasional substitute for coffee, which I admittedly drink too much of.

Ugh, they're both 2nd and 3rd to last on my list, respectively. They have Lapsang Souchong in it, which is dead-last on my choice of teas list. I feel like I'm sipping on burnt wood!

But I know a LOT of people that like it. If those happen to be your favorite, MBC, I would highly recommend picking up some Lapsang, if you see it. I think you'll really enjoy it.

I know the flavor you speak of, and I do like it.

Having said that, and just for clarification though, the anniversary blend doesn't have that flavor, so if anyone was considering it, don't shy from it based on my other preferences. It's very pleasant and no hickory smoked flavor.

I'm not really a fan of "real" tea, but I love rooibos and herbal teas.

Ghoulish Delight · 05-04-2009, 09:58 AM

Hmm, not a fan of the Assam. Definitely a burnt-ish flavor to it. And it's touchy, if I'm not uber careful with proportion and steeping time, it crosses into undrinkable very quickly.
