So, one thing I bought for myself prior to the holidays was a tea advent calendar. It is fun to have a new one every day. I have discovered I really like Darjeeling. I don't think I had had that before So many teas to try, although I have gotten a bit behind on the calendar. I forgot to drink the tea on the daily. Right now I am looking at few upcoming..chamomile mint, vanilla spiced ,turmeric spiced. There are several more packets. What is your favorite tea?

I’ve become quite a fan of the Republic of Tea in the past couple of years, and their s’mores and chocolate coconut are my favorites. They have so many more great flavors, though. I also love Bigelow’s cinnamon stick and vanilla caramel teas.

@snowy22315 — generally….no. As a “citizen” you get points for buying tea, which will give you free or reduced prices. I’ll tell you one thing, though: it’s worth the price. That stuff is amazing!

I wonder how long those teas last. I have a half opened tea advent calendar from a couple of years ago I never finished. I’m not much of a tea person, but some are delicious.

I don't think teas really expire, but they probably lose some of their flavor over the years.

So are you having teas with milk, or herbal teas? Darjeeling Tea is exported a lot from India to other countries. Within India, genuine Darjeeling Tea has lesser availability. Plus they are of quite a high price ! What we normally get at reasonable prices is CTC - Crushed, tear, Crushed. Kind of with Tea dust as prominent. Some have added herbs or condiments like Ginger, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ashwagandha (a herb) and more. Turmeric spiced Tea and Coffees are getting more popular here as well. My favorite brand is Red Label Natural Care and Tata Tea.

No, I drink it straight so I can decide whether or not I like the flavor. I have to say so far Darjeeling is the best.
