I personally like Argentinian Yerba Mate. I like the brands La Merced and Pongo. I typically order from yerbacrew.
I have a difficult time drinking Yerba from Uruguay. It seems to get packed together and difficult to draw water up through the straw (and I do have a straw intended for Uruguayan Yerba). Maybe I’m doing something wrong. 
Lol.
Good stuff though - I’ve come to really enjoy drinking Yerba Mate. I probably enjoy it 3-4 times a week.
Oh my! On my list. I have a petsit in the Paris area in June.
@ExploreDreamDiscover Enjoy Paris and if you do visit the Angelina Café and try their hot chocolate, please share a photo & let us know what it’s like as I haven’t tried it as yet! 
I definitely recommend you try their Mont-Blanc creation though, it’s delicious! 
Just reorganized one of our tea drawers. My husband pillages whenever he makes tea — boxes and canisters get pulled out and randomly tossed back in.
Order helps me see what we have on hand, to avoid duplicate buying. Reordering the drawers is nostalgic as well, because certain tea comes from our travels.
Meanwhile, I’m starting the day with a vat of ginger drink, not tea. I discovered the ginger packets (mix with hot or cold water) at Trader Joe’s, a U.S. grocer. They’re good, because you can really taste the ginger and feel its bite at the back of your throat even after drinking.
How many teas do you think you have now @Maggie8K?
I’m drinking Constant Comment, which is kind of expensive to get here in the UK, but it’s so tasty.
Yorkshire Tea every time. The TV adverts are brilliant.
Love tea from Gods Own Country @twitcher 
Although Welsh Glengettie will give it a run for its money! #challengeset
Maybe 30 to 40, @Jenny. We have the main drawer, which is deep. Plus, my husband has a tea cabinet in his man cave and I have a tea drawer in my home office. There’s also a cabinet in the kitchen with I don’t know how much tea is crammed, because it’s where my husband stashes the bigger boxes and I never look, since I’d have to grab a stepstool. 
Glad you enjoy CC. It’s longstanding favorite for many folks in the U.S. It’s among the more affordable teas here.
@Jenny I love how Constant Comment tea got its name. Constant Comment tea was created by Ruth Bigelow in 1945 as she was unhappy with the variety of teas on the market at the time, so she created her own blend of black tea with orange rind and spices. The new flavour was so popular among her friends that it received “constant comments” therefore giving it it’s name! 
I aspire to have a large tea collection @Maggie8K 
I think I have around 15 types in my cupboard!
CC is such a good cosy tea, as is the Celestial Seasonings “Sleepytime Tea” - I learned about CC and Sleepytime from a movie called “Scott Pilgrilm vs The World” which I was a huge fan of:
@Sam_F I didn’t know that - today I learned! I can see why it was so popular, it’s delicious!
Love that clip! Thanks for sharing, @Jenny!
I’ve been surprised by how many sit homes in the U.S. have tea collections, even when the hosts say they’re into coffee and not so much into tea. Maybe because U.S. homes often have significant storage? It’s also easy for many Americans to buy groceries and such, since most of us drive. When I lived or have sat abroad, I’m much more aware of what I have room and strength to carry in my shopping bags.
I’m just curious, has anyone ever tried Butter Tea, also known as Po Cha, which is a traditional Tibetan drink made with black tea, salt, and yak butter (or cow’s milk butter), and is a staple beverage in Tibet? 
I’ve not tried that Tibetan tea. But your asking rings a bell about Hong Kong milk tea. It’s normally made out of evaporated or condensed milk or such, but there are fans of milk tea served at old-school kiosks and stalls (known as dai pai dong in Hong Kong) who say or suspect that some add butter for unforgettable taste, richness and such.
Many such janky businesses have disappeared over the years, but some remaining ones keep bringing fans back, because they can’t find milk tea that’s anywhere as good.
For context, Hong Kong milk tea: Hong Kong–style milk tea - Wikipedia.
Yorkshire is one we’ve drank quite a bit of in years past. I tried some while sitting in the U.K., to see if it was the same as the Yorkshire we buy in the U.S. and it seemed consistent. I did that, because I had ordered grocery delivery on my first sit in the U.K. and the co-op had few tea selections, so I had to get Twinings. Surprisingly, the Twinings tasted much better than Twinings I’d tried in the U.S. and had avoided since. The U.K. one was much stronger.
I mention that, because it’s interesting that some brands are the same, but taste different from country to country.
I just managed to order a couple of boxes to try. I had searched previously, but the same place I’d checked had run out many months ago. Finally back in stock.
I like my coffee strong, milky and in a novelty mug.
I have a similar reaction to tea as Ted Lasso.
I love coffee art, this photo is a latte decorated with a French Bulldog that I had in the Farm Girl Cafe in South Kensington. It’s so cute!
Does anyone else have any interesting coffee art Photos?
I recently bought coffee from a Scottish roaster, and it’s one of the very best ground coffees that I’ve ever had!
Thought I’d share as it’s half price at the moment!
