There is such a variety of tea but I do not like the strong teas...I prefer a smooth blend.

I really love the flower teas, although I suppose technically those are tisanes.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Aren't all teas just leaves or flowers? I do prefer herbal but I like a good Lady Grey.

No, actually! If it doesn't contain leaves from a very specific plant, it's a tisane! Most herbal 'teas' are actually tisanes. They tend not to be as sharp in flavor, which is why I prefer them, but some can be a bit pungent--but those subsects are generally meant for medicinal or religious purposes, rather than recreational.

I never pass up a chance to educate or be educated! I actually learned all this from a tea shop on Marietta Square a few years back. They actually served high tea there, too! It was fun. I had to look everything up again when I got home, but it was a delightful experience. I lost my cold tea press, but I still have my tea acorn for loose leaf, both teas and tisanes alike.

I have never heard that! Thank you for sharing !! I'll have to go look up which type of plant it needs to be to be a tea. I guess I mainly drink tisanes then!

It's called Camellia sinensis, and it's not hard to grow inside, if you have a planter the right size. It counts as a shrubbery.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

A camellia!??? I LOVE camellia's!!!!

Yes! Easy, right?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

We use to have a camellia tree in our yard...I should see if I can find one again...I could have my own tea supply if I get the right kind!

[npixelz]

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Tea isn't really... My cup of tea!, but it's interesting to think of the different ways to make it
