My current favorite is not loose leaf but it tastes soooooo yummy. Try Numi's Ruby Chai. I think you can find it at Uncommon Grounds. I had to go to a local distributor of coffee and tea to find some boxes.Christinehttp://www.christinenewhook.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-86961289520952961912010-11-16T06:28:55.438-04:002010-11-16T06:28:55.438-04:00I like tea very much..

They have loose tea and fair trade etc. <br />http://www.worldteahouse.ca/<br />I bought a tea ball thingie from there and have been using it and drinking loose tea, trying to lose the tea bag habit. I like black tea, ceylon and assam mixed:) I also drink herbal tea, prefer it loose and not commercially packaged but also have green and white and commercial organic peppermint in my cupboard along with just us chai and earl grey.susanna evenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-54795782165725001632010-11-11T11:17:38.805-04:002010-11-11T11:17:38.805-04:00Being British, I am a tea addict!

Living in the US has only furthered my obsession since there are so many great loose leaf tea providers here. <br /><br />My favourite teas are overwhelmingly black, particularly Yunnuns and some of the Indian blends. However, I drink a fair amount of green tea in the afternoons, and have every kind of tea you can imagine in my cupboard (including mate, rooibos, and tisanes). <br /><br />I used to work in a tea store and that led me to an interesting realisation: don't be fooled by company made slogans like 'equa trade' or 'equal trade'. These are NOT fair trade certified, and are usually made up by companies to seem more worker friendly than they are. Do your research, folks! I see this kind of trick a LOT in the tea world, and it took me a while to figure it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-5738295778493298122010-11-11T01:22:11.853-04:002010-11-11T01:22:11.853-04:00oops, meant to link the glass'n'glass- htt...oops, meant to link the glass'n'glass- http://libretea.com/shop-libre/libre-glassn-glass/Shawna @ My Nails Didhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176592978365964221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-91033617654024427392010-11-11T01:21:49.780-04:002010-11-11T01:21:49.780-04:00libre tea mugs are great travel options- and canad...libre tea mugs are great travel options- and canadian! they have a glass on glass version (they're double walled) or a poly-n-glass, which although is plastic, is great for klutzes like me to prolong the life of the mug!!<br /><br />as for favourite teas... hmm, peppermint #1, and i have a great green tea with coconut mix. yum!!Shawna @ My Nails Didhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176592978365964221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-73559999507460430792010-11-10T20:26:23.779-04:002010-11-10T20:26:23.779-04:00I have soooooooo many different kinds of David'...I have soooooooo many different kinds of David's Tea.

I also didn't know about fair trade teas. Thank you for the tip!<br /><br />When we were in Sedona for our wedding, we visited an amazing vegan restaurant that had a delightful tea selection; complete with hippie names that made me feel like I just smoked a fatty. I'll research the brand I found & flavor that made me giddy & will send it to you.

I almost only drink herbal teas from loose herbs - no bags, no waste! <br /><br />I love chamomile at this time of year, spiked with some cardamom, cinnamon or vanilla.

For years,...Hi eco yogini, first time commenter :)<br /><br />For years, tea has been pretty much my only source of hydration! The variety is just enormous. <br />My favourite by far is green tea. To act enviromentally responsible, we always boil up a huge jug of tea. With green tea you basically do not need to worry about any kind of waste: just use two jugs (one in which you actually let the tea - just the leaves no bags, eggs or anything- steep and then use a strainer to separate leaves and tea into another jug). Another tip: we use cans for storage which we take to the tea store so they can give us a refill without wasting another wrapper.<br />And green tea in itself is a perfect natural example for re-use as you can use the leaves for up to 3 times or more (depends on the tea plant and your gusto though). <br /><br />Have a good day!

It's some no-name, probably eco-terrible brand a coworker gave me for a holiday gift, but it's good with cookies and I'll compost the bag. :) I too love the tea ball for loose teas, and I'm so happy that the hippie grocery where I spend all my money recently added a bulk tea section. Score! Oh, and my all-time favorite tea is peppermint, with a little sugar or agave nectar.Vegan Burnouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647418989761380056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-29168193100849666942010-11-10T03:38:44.999-04:002010-11-10T03:38:44.999-04:00I only drink tea at home as I refuse to pay cafe p...I only drink tea at home as I refuse to pay cafe prices for hot water and a teabag! <br />We use fairtrade organic teas - they are teabags for convenience but the bags come loose in a cardboard box - no plastic! Plus I've found used teabags make fabulous compost - as do used leaves and coffee grounds for that matter.rachel @ suburbanyoginihttp://suburbanyogini.comnoreply@blogger.com
