Thanks for the tips. But, You would need some strong new evidence to keep me off my favourite cup of Red Bush or Rooibos. I guess an AA flyer for Rooibos wouldn’t even be exaggerated.

a chap should always have tea available. it is the elixir of life.

personally i prefer assam (smoky and dark) in the morning and darjeeling (light and flowery) in the afternoon.

maybe you could get sponsored by twinings?

pip pip.

Thanks for the link Patty, I’ll check that out! Green tea has some great health benefits for sure, but as far as antioxidants, it doesn’t get much better than rooibos.

Hey Ryan, If you really love tea then you have to check out a great tea shop in Courtenay, The Tea Centre. The owners are just getting back from an annual tea buying trip to Asia so they should have some interesting teas and stories. They’re great with mail order as my friends and I place an order about every six weeks. We like the rooibos tisanes and I keep a thermos of chocolate mint by my desk all day. I’m trying to get into more green teas for the health benefits. Check out their website, too–www.teacentre.ca

If you like ginger tea- you might try buying fresh ginger root, peeling it, shredding it and drying it in your oven (or the sun). It’s the same as the loose ginger tea I’ve been buying but less costly. Makes a nice cuppa too.

Here on little ol PEI it`s hard to find really good teas, I like Constant Comment by Bigelow and White Pear by Celesstial Seasoning.

I did have some really nice English Breakfast loose tea that was purchased in England and it was fantastic!

Right on Warren, thanks. Actually got the tea from Lonsdale Quay, but I’ll look up Teatime next time. And yup, good call on the apres ride, cheers!

Visit the shop called Teatime on Lonsdale if you visit the Shore – Great teas from all over the world, without the often silly price tags.

The Scottish Breakfast is a winner. Smooth, but strong and tasty.

The perfect pre-ride opener.

Beer usually wins out post-ride though…
