FabSwingers.com forum: I’m in really in to....

Now I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but you’re an open minded bunch and I feel like I won’t get judged for opening up about this and might even get some suggestions of new ones to try to. Iv always had a thing for them I guess but Just recently Iv really embraced and got in fruit teas and flavoured teas. I’m absolutely loving peppermint tea for flavour and freshness and then at night a lemon and ginger with a spoon of honey in it.

My teas come both bagged and loose and I was wondering if any of you lot could suggest some more daring flavours I might like and are worth a try or maybe you have a classic favourite I could give a go to.

I'm not into anything fruity, I just like a good old fashioned tea bagging.

Some do I agree. I go a strawberry and mango one the other day And was very much looking forward to it. It smelt amazing but had no flavour at all

For the best and yummiest flavours it has to be Taylors of Harrogate.

Especially the rhubarb one

Fruit goes absoloutely perfect with Wensleydale. Can't beat a chunk of it with a slab of Christmas cake. Each compliments each other perfectly.

Damn, my mouth is literally watering right now.

Good for the insides that. I blend stem ginger with water and leave it in the Fride over night in summer. It’s so refreshing

I bought some loose leaf teas in a little shop in York a few weeks ago. You can order online, just google hebden teas.

My favourite is a seasonal blend called orange cookies. It is a black tea with lots of fruit and spices and is gorgeous.

Here in nottingham we have a great tea shop. They do a mail order subscription service. I think it costs about 9 quid a month and you get 4 different teas. Again google is your friend.

Pour boiling water over mint leaves and add a good elderflower cordial. Leave to cool and serve with ice and lime.

I'm tea-curious

I'm an avid coffee drinker, but Chinese green tea, loose leaf has me intrigued, i've tried it, and I'd try it again.

Fruity tea, no. I just not been keen on it. But fruit in cheese!! Nom nom nom, but maybe that's why I'm a fat bird, if I drank more and ate less...

You need to go to the tea junction in Norwich, try all the flavours there. I am working my way through the coffee

I once tried chocolate tea, it wasn’t nice lol but for regular black tea the best I found was one called Barry’s tea, it’s rare to see and hard to find unless you look online but wow if you can get ahold of them you’ll never look back
