I think I might try a green tea bath. Never heard of it until a few days ago.

I really like tea but I don't know that much about it. I would love to learn more. I went to a Japanese garden where they hold traditional tea ceremonies and it sounds interesting.

And just what variety would that be? My orchid pearl was about $75/lb the last time I had to restock. Its probably close to $100 by now.
Yes, good tea is expensive, but a pound of tea by weight is quite a bit by volume and would last quite a while. Unless you are like me and sip it continuously.

it's strange, i know.....
but hot tea is very yummy!!!
O.K. now i have a question, if in a fancy japanese restraunt, is it rude to put sugar or creme in your tea?
Lots of people that realy like tea don't put any sugar in it, however i realy like tea, but do put sugar in it.... is that bad?
I think most Japanese resturaunts expect that, but in Japan it may very well be an insult. Kinda like adding Wasabi to your sushi. It implies the food was improperly prepared, so you have to add things to it to eat it. Then again, this may change with time, since many people in Japan, I heard, are ignoring some of these rules to be more independent or eat what they like.

I also enjoy tea. Very much. My favorite kind of hot tea...I really like green and chai. As for cold teas, I like Thai iced and there's this pearl milk tea (No, it isn't bubble tea, since they aren't tapioca pearls) that's very yummy.

I don't like Green Tea much at all, since I know you're not supposed to add stuff to it. It's too bitter for my tastes, but if in a situation where I have no choice but to drink it, I just do so to be polite, like if when my Japanese teacher offers me some she's brewed. I've tried a Barley tea too...I hated the taste of that.

That aside, I prefer English teas that were pretty much made to be served with cream and sugar because I like cream and sugar or honey in my tea.

I love oolong tea, but this is one I don't mind hot or cold...more so cold, though, and I like it with lemon and sugar. I've also tried pearl milk tea, and loved that. I've always wanted to try Bubble tea.

I've always wanted to try Jasmine tea.

Splenda = x.x

I like a little bit of honey sometimes, but most of the time I like it plain.

With your not liking green tea, it may not be to your liking. Its usually a green tea, but not quite as astringent as most of them. With your preference for black teas, I would recommend looking for a brand packaged by an American or English company, rather than a jasmine from anywhere in Asian. It may be roasted slightly and you might even be able to find a slight blend. Or if you get loose leaf you could mix half jasmine and half oolong. Nobody says you have to be a purest.

Milk changes, but does not necessarily "ruin" the nutritional benefits of tea. But I have a bigger objection when someone is focusing on nutrition and then recommends a synthetically manufactured sweetner. Even Splenda has nasty side effects for some people. if you are going ot sweeten something make what is either nutritious (honey) or at least something digestable (cane sugar). But for most people it would be simply better to wean that sweet tooth off its addiction altogether.
