@joemanmn, tea drinker here. Especially green tea. Lots. Tried many producers. Some good, some terrible. Favourite over recent years being Stash.
Very open to recommendations of producer brands of delicious green tea.

I buy green tea at Asian stores — good quality and better prices.
Otherwise, my relatives gift it when they visit from abroad.

@joemann, Emmental is what we here in the USA call Swiss cheese.

It’s a type of Swiss cheese, but that specific kind is actually sold as emmentaler in the U.S. as well. You can find it in various grocery stores, including Trader Joe’s, labeled that way. It’s generally more expensive than what’s labeled just as Swiss cheese in the U.S.
This is a screen shot from Instacart (food delivery), for instance.

Thanks for the clarification. I like swiss, but I’m more of a Havarti, Gouda, or Brie fan.

Well, I do a lot of loose-leaf teas. I’m not pretentious about it, I promise. If you’re from the Minneapolis / St Paul area, I can tell you that it’s good to get teas from TeaSource, Indigo Teas, or Well Rooted (herbal). Up near Duluth is Anahata Herbals whom I like a lot.
Otherwise, I’ve ordered from Rishi, Young Mountain, Ku Cha, and Oliver Pluff. All of them are good companies.
I’m not a connoisseur though. I like what I like. Lol.

Hi. I’m new here too. As an Aussie with British parents I’m a big tea drinker . Mine is Earl Grey black. I drink roughly 10 mugs a day. My husband says I’m a tea aholic but I don’t drink coffee or alcohol so tea is my tipple.

I like Earl Grey as well. Tipple? Lol - is that an Aussie term. I’ve never heard that one before.

Lol I think it’s probably a British term. It just means to drink something habitually. And I certainly do that

Thank you for this forum. I am glad to be here and to see there are others who like tea, like me. I am also not a connoisseur, but I am picky… I have certain herbal teas that I tend to drink more than others. I am about to make chamomile now so I can sleep. Good night all.

My cup of tea? I like reading a lot. It’s a bit disappointing to be referred to as a bookworm.. never thought that very flattering although I do devour books lol.
I’m In Spain at present. Their term for a Library lover is a bit different..
a library RAT!
Maybe a worm isn’t so bad after all!
( I never leave a book dog eared! )

In fact, it’s more a “library mouse” (ratón), which, in Spanish, doesn’t have such negative connotations as “rat” (rata)
