Last week, I attended a tea party. We were so early and the other guests are still on their way. The host calls for a cup of tea while waiting. The host offered cookies and teas, laid on the tea table. I wasn't aware that tea has variants of flavor: green, black, red, vanilla, jasmine, chrysanthemum, wild rose, rose hips, English etc. It was like united colors of tea. The usual combination of tea that I am aware of are: lemon tea, milk tea and ice tea. I find it amazing to have these teas into a tea party. In addition, drinking can help detoxify our systems. Are there any other teas served in your country?

Well, in Italy, at least as far as I am aware, do not use the tea party.
A pity, because I'd like it if in my country would be respected this tradition.
I can imagine the possibility to choose an immensity of fragrances, such as tea taste.
I usually only drink tea in the summer when it's hot. Use always bring me back a bottle, every time I go to the beach.
Shame that I can only choose 2 types of tea that are already bottled: the peach or lemon.

hi,
i don't have any knowledge or idea about the color of the tea because the usually color of tea here in my country is the black or maybe a brown,and most of them are Chinese Citizenship who have many flavor of teas and color.in the house my family don't drink tea because they still love coffee.

I drink tea, but I have never been to a tea party or ever had one, but I am going to get a tea set soon, and I am certainly going have one when I have a proper tea set, and when my place is fixed up for it. You can do all kinds of things with a tea party. You don't even have to be traditional about it, but it does help to have a good tea set if you are going to have one.

i dont know more flavours as u told. they are new to me. i will try when they are available for me.
i generally make milk tea in evenings and will drink it. just milk,sugar and tea powder. sometimes i will add ginger and drink ,in winter season. we can get good taste when we add green cardomom powder(called ilachi in india) for getting good taste and for good health also.
5,6 times i have tasted green tea. i didnt like it much.
in india i know masala chai(masala tea),in which ginger,fennel,anise,pepper,bay leaves,cloves,cinamom sticks will be added in milk tea with honey. some will add poppy seeds also.
i also like dargeling,nilgiri,sikkim,and assam tea powders from india and srilankan(ceylon) tea powders .
taking tea is good for health,and will give us long life.

Though there are a lot of different kinds of teas that are available, I am the kind of person that typically sticks to a mint tea or an iced sweet tea. It isn't because of the fact that all of the other teas are not available, instead it is because of the fact that I've not had a lot of opportunity to try other teas and because of that, I'm afraid that I wouldn't enjoy some of the other many teas that are available out there.

There are many varieties of tea and I like most of them. My friends and I really enjoy tea parties as well. We always try new teas when we are there. I also like the sandwiches and cookies that they serve too. My favorite sandwich at the last party we went too was a cucumber sandwich. Did they serve that at your party.

We drink coffee more than tea in my place. If I have to drink tea than it has to be Chinese tea. Chinese tea is plain sugarless tea which supposedly. Wash away the oil from the foods we eat. I like the lemon tea which was served in most food outlets in Manila. We do have lemon tea here but
It is far inferior in taste.

My daughter and I love to have tea. We have tons of flavors, mostly fruit and herb. We love lemon, orange, raspberry, echinacea, ginseng, African Redbush Peach and Chocolate Caramel Enchantment Chai just to name a few. We have a large shelf that is full of many, many different types of teas. Nothing is more soothing than a warm cup of tea. Mmmmm!

In my country,the preceding generations prefer to drink tea rather than coffee,it's a traditional custom.But the young all like drinking coffee.
As to tea,there are many different kinds,such as longjing tea,tippy tea,oolong tea and so on.
My favourite is Chrysanthemum tea,not only because of its beauty but also because of its effect.
