What is your favorite flavor? (describe)

Where do you normally get it?

I love the Matavana from Teavana...but I like so many others.

I'm looking for other (less expensive) places to get it.

My favorite is a green called Silver Dragon. I used to get it at a tea shop in Dallas. Haven't found a tea shop here yet.

I mix a blend I call Garden Sani-tea because it is very calming. It has catnip, rose petals, spearmint and chamomile. I get the herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs. I also recently made a mix my husband calls Summer in Florida. It has orange mint, lemongrass, strawberry leaves and rooibos. One of my all time favorite tea isn't a blend. It's fresh chocolate mint.

It's easy to grow so if you have a moist area in partial shade you can grow all you want for the price of one plant.

I got a start from my local food co-op but you might be able to find it at a local garden center. It is also available online. Here is one place I found. Just be sure to get plants, not seeds, as I've read it isn't dependable from seed.

I love the peppermint tea from Tevana, though I can't have it too often without getting over-pepperminted.

Celestial Seasonings and World Market also have some of my favorite teas...now I want tea.

my new fav is Vanilla Coconut from Republic of Tea. I buy it thru Vitacost. It is sooo good!!

Eta; if anyone tries it, it's one of those teas you really have to follow the directions when steeping or it will taste bitter.

There is no emot for drooling.

These all sound so yummy! We should do a tea swap or tea co-op!
