First it was wine. Then it was cigars. Now it's tea. I am hooked on the stuff. I have all but quit drinking coffee and constantly have a cup of tea in front of me. Not the crappy bagged tea but high quality full leaf teas. Does anybody else have this affliction?

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Heck Yes!!!
I kinda got into it when my mom became a certified tea something-or-other...What's your favorite blend?
I have this long standing love for jasmine dragon phoenix pearl... great aromatic white tea.

Yeah, I got hooked; I have a cast-iron testsubin, and about 5 tins of loose-leaf green tea. I drink coffee every morning and enjoy a cigar when I can, but tea is something that's really good for winding down when you can't enjoy a nice cigar.

EDIT - Right on Stephen!! Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl was the tea that got me hooked!!

I LOVE tea!

Gunpowder has been my favorite green for a few weeks now. I've also been hooked on Pu-erh recently. I've been wanting to try some white tea for awhile now.

Love tea...there is a local lady here that blends her own teas..called herbal sage that blends teas to be sold at local vendors..

I like her herbal teas best, she has a blend called 420 tea she blends for a "smoking accessories" shop in Athens, OH that I dig. A spearmint tea with orange peal and other great herbals that are suppose to help with that wintery cough. It's naturally sweet and refreshing for a warm beverage in the winter months.

Well rock the heck on

I have slowly been developing a taste for tea, but being such a fan of coffee, I've found it slow going. I miss the texture and punch of flavor from coffee when I'm indulging in tea, but then again, I also have moods that I'd prefer tea. Not to mention, I have a total English fetish so that's a whole thing on it's own.

I have an English fetish for Kate Beckinsale. That's beside the point though.

I like a cup of tea now and then. I'm a sucker for a good cup of Chai.

I usually shop at Spice and Tea Exchange or Adaigo; both are good places to shop too; Spice/Tea I know is a franchise that has stores all over, so there may be one in your area

I love milk in tea..most folks think it is unusual...but it tastes great.

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE...

I have a whole cabinet full of teas, both loose tea and bagged tea. Not quite the aficianado that my sister is, but I definately enjoy a nice cup several times a week. Speaking of which, think I'll have one right now!

Yeah, I got hooked; I have a cast-iron testsubin!!

Ah, a mispelling - it's spelled tetsubin (pronounced - TET-SU-BEE-N); it's a cast iron pot that's used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Originally they were put over a fire, but these days, they can't go on the stove unless they're specifically made for it; otherwise they're just used to hold the hot water and make same very nice tea. They sell them at Teavana, but you can get them cheaper elsewhere (the same can be said of anything Teavana sells - they royally rip you off). Anyway, here's a pic of a tetsubin:
