Some of my personal tea choices:
- My personal absolute favorite—from the perspective of a former coffee addict—is pu-erh tea. It is dark, rich, and very flavorful. This tea is also said to have slimming effects. I don’t know about that, but it is completely satisfying to drink.
- Green tea—this tea offers many choices. You can experience the nutty taste of Dragon Well, the scented sweetness of Jasmin Pearl, the smooth taste of Genmaicha, the bitter sweetness of Sencha, or the light, fragile flavor of White Tea.
- And then, of course, there are herbal teas. My favorite nighttime tea is either rooibos, which can help you sleep, or a nice French verveine, which is much more delicate in its taste, and as nice as desert. Sometimes I add some dried lavender to it—yummy.
All teas have their time and place. The best way to find your personal favorites, is to try them. Sniff, taste, enjoy the color, and hold a nice cup in your hand—savoring the moment—just you and your tea break. Or a have a wonderful time sharing a nice pot of tea with someone else.
