I've done some reading about tea and it's benefits. I got some chai, green tea, and white tea. I'd like to know your opinions on these beverages.
Speaking of roobios, I drink Yerba Mate all day, and want to start drinking Roobios but can't justify the difference in price. What kind of price have you found D, since I know you are the king of sourcing :twisted:Check out Roobios (sp?) tea.
It's about twice the price of Green Tea.Speaking of roobios, I drink Yerba Mate all day, and want to start drinking Roobios but can't justify the difference in price. What kind of price have you found D, since I know you are the king of sourcing :twisted:
Yeah, so it ain't that bad.. I'll definetly try it out.It's about twice the price of Green Tea.
The main reason why I started to drink tea is because I am trying to lower the sweeteners I use. I am doing good, the only sweeteners are in my protein and supplements. But thanks a lot for your input!I'm an iced-tea-coholic.
I think raspberry iced tea is really good. 4C makes a blueberry iced white tea (comes in the little tubs like crystal light). It's a little sweet for my liking, so I mix with a little unsweetened green tea, and it's primo.
Depends on the blend you use.Question:
How many of you make your tea using the coffee maker and a filter, in order to be able to drink it all day?
I have a product design, called MoTiviTea, that is an organic tea blend in LARGE teabags...perfectly sized for coffee makers.
Any interest there?
What would you recommend? I am not a huge tea drinker.Depends on the blend you use.
I am a big fan of green tea with mint and lemon. I drink a cup or two everyday. White tea is also another option since it is a little bit more mild.What would you recommend? I am not a huge tea drinker.
What would yield the tastiest blend (I can still get a decent cut product with decent EGCG content.)
What about a chai white tea?What would you recommend? I am not a huge tea drinker.

Cut green tea (organic) I can get VERY cheap. The limiting factor has been the boxes that these go in, but I found a nice alternative (and ended up buying about 5000 of them) that are around the perfect size.I am a big fan of green tea with mint and lemon.

Fantastic.Cut green tea (organic) I can get VERY cheap. The limiting factor has been the boxes that these go in, but I found a nice alternative (and ended up buying about 5000 of them) that are around the perfect size.
I think I'll go ahead and play around, and maybe do a limited release here.
I'm pretty open, honestly...We needed a manufacture that could handle filterpacks, but apparently this concept was freaking IMPOSSIBLE to explain to the Chinese manufacturers.What about a chai white tea?
How about whitening gum?I buy mine direct from China. I'm suprised no one has mentioned Oolong, as it is my favorite. It's typically the type of tea served in Chinese food restaurants. It is quite tasty, and there is a wide range of tastes between the different varities and regions.
I don't like tea in teabags - I prefer to use loose leaf tea and brew it in a teapot designed for accepting loose leaf. While at work, they have a small container that will hold your loose leaf tea and you set it on top of a regular paper cup from your office, and just add some hot water from the water cooler and you've got it at work, too.
I also like green tea, and then I go to a store called teavana occasionally to pick up some matevana/roobios blend which is incredible, as well as a few others they have.
But by far I like oolong. Only trouble, I like to drink it daily (though I don't each day) and so I have to keep some Crest Whitestrips on hand as it seems to stain my teeth a bit after months of use. But the whitestrips clear it back up...
That would definetly be amazing blend I've never heard of.I'm pretty open, honestly...We needed a manufacture that could handle filterpacks, but apparently this concept was freaking IMPOSSIBLE to explain to the Chinese manufacturers.
It's been idle for a year, but I found a way to make them locally...so figured this thread brought it back to the front burner.
Trident gum is full of Xilytol...This is the only one that seems decent:

We're also using Xylitol for Thermo-Gum.Trident gum is full of Xilytol...
No more bad breath for the rest of your life!!!Just man up and gargle with Clorox.
Seems to be the most efficient polyalcohol for whiteing gum!We're also using Xylitol for Thermo-Gum.
I tried that also. Smells like little valentine's hearts!Dsade is going to start tea-bagging the members of AM?.... nice!
I just got an Original Indian Spice Chai from the grocery store
i cant even describe how good it smells..flavor is great unsweetened as well
its got: black tea, cinnamon, ginger, roasted chickory, cloves, cardamom, natural flavor, nutmeg, black pepper, chinese star anise, and vanilla bean
Sounds good...but would you be able to drink it daily without getting sick of it?Dsade is going to start tea-bagging the members of AM?.... nice!

I see it's main ingredient is xylitol. They say the gum helps to whiten your teeth, but they say xylitol is a "natural cavity inhibitor"
Sounds really interesting. Make sure not to sweeten it though and I'm all over it!Sounds good...but would you be able to drink it daily without getting sick of it?
/Hmm...wonder how a blend of high polyphenol cacao beans ground up with coffee beans would taste?
yea... i drink only water all day... so 1 glass a day is my 'treat' per seSounds good...but would you be able to drink it daily without getting sick of it?

These are the ingredients per that site:DC...true, but look at WHEN you would be chewing. There is a friction factor at play, and I was pretty sure they had a quick-forming hydrogen peroxide source in the gum.
The tea will be fresh in your mouth, and stains will more be preventing then having to worry about getting rid of older stains.
Chewing the gum immediately after drinking the tea should help quite a bit.
This is good info...I had forgotten you could "rebrew" tea, unlike coffee.These are the ingredients per that site:
Xylitol, Gum Base, Natural Flavors, Glycerin, Gum Arabic, Soy Lecithin, Bees Wax, Calprox
You are right though, chewing that gum or trident or any gum (if you can't brush) after drinking a couple cups of tea would help. I'll have to make sure to do that... Good idea.
Getting back to the tea, I ordered my last batch from here:
jingteashop.com
Here's what I got:
-- 1 X Mao Xie - Oolong Tea @ $7.50 = $7.50
-- 1 X Wu Yi Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea - 100gr @ $11.70 = $11.70
-- 1 X An Xi Tour Teasting Set @ $52.10 = $52.10
I highly recommend the Wu Yi Da Hong Pao - tremendous.
Ordered this at the beginning of December, and have used 1/3 of the total order, even though I brew a pot once every 2 days. You can re-steep the tea at least twice, so you get 2-3 pots out of only a couple tablespoons. $82 total, and going at this rate it should last 10 months... not a bad deal and very good.
Resteeping it is a great quality. Typically on these I ordered, the first pot is darker and more powerfull. The 2nd is just as good but slighly diluted in flavor. I don't take it past 2 times, because for my tea pot, I get 4 cups out of each pot. W/ only 2 people drinking it, and me drinking more, there is no way to drink 2 pots (8 cups). So we usually finish the first pot (4 cups), then I boil more water, steep the 2nd pot, save it in the refrigerator, and reheat it the following day.This is good info...I had forgotten you could "rebrew" tea, unlike coffee.
For everyone that is providing helpful feedback, I'll make sure you get some samples for testing and providing even more feedback.
It really is much appreciated...there are so many hours in a day to design stuff.
So you would prefer something like a 10 or 12 pack of ready to brew filterpacks?Resteeping it is a great quality. Typically on these I ordered, the first pot is darker and more powerfull.

That is how such little quantity of tea lasts a couple of days, for me at least. I am not an expert by any means, there are some teas on that site which are aged and $78/100 grams. I stick to the more "everyday stuff" and it tastes great to my relatively inexperienced palatte.
So you are saying this would go in the coffee maker and you could add as much water as you want and just brew a coffee pot of tea, and perhaps brew 2 pots if you wanted (the 2nd would be obviously not quite as strong)?So you would prefer something like a 10 or 12 pack of ready to brew filterpacks?
