I love the Celestial tea offerings! They all taste SO good!

And, although it's not GREEN tea, I am addicted to Constant Comment decaf tea!

I buy gunpowder green tea from a local tea merchant. It's very flavorful. Nothing at all like the green tea I buy in bags at the grocery store which taste like floor sweepings in comparison to whole tea leaves.

What's Your Favorite Green?

When I put the pics up, I didn't realise that they were for a wish list. We all run out of room, that is why Proslaeliocattleya Mae Bly is no longer in my possession. It is very vigorous, makes lots of roots and the space it took up is now occupied by a couple of non-space hogs. Cym. Dag 'Dorothy' was registered in 1964 and may only be available in Australia via divisions. Some Cattleyas only have perfume on sunny days. And finally, Grammatophyllum scriptum "A large to giant sized, hot growing epiphyte" quoting a bit from Jay's Species site. There was one awarded in Northern Territory, Australia ages ago. The Judging panel visited the orchid. nuff said.

Your favorite hybrid tea - for those of you who love antiques?
Q
Comments (49)
I have to name several! Each, in its moment of perfection, is a rose to make one gasp and let the eye linger upon in pleasure. 'Better Times' is probably my favorite; the coloration and form of the flower, and the way the color of the foliage complements the flower's color, makes the opening of each blossom an event. Its sport-sibling 'Briarcliff' is splendid as well. The HMF photos don't really capture the purplish-blue tone of the magenta red of 'Better Times'; the wonderful moire effect of 'Briarcliff' can be detected in some of the HMF photos, though. 'Snowbird' is wonderful in every way. 'Peach Beauty' is impressively beautiful when opening and for a day or two after (it then gets forgivably blowsy). 'Marceline' has a perfection of form and elegance of coloration which is striking. The HMF pix don't quite capture it. 'Maman Lyly' is breathtaking in form, changing coloration, and fragrance. 'Chrysler Imperial' will always be my favorite red rose. The various Radiances, eh (shrugs), I used to be enthusiastic about them; now, not so much. I like them because they're tough, and because the various colors of the varieties complement each other beautifully (I have them all next to each other). The much-praised fragrance is rather too citrusy for me (same, to my nose, with 'La France'). For me, the best of them is the original, 'Radiance', with its attractive contrast of colors; and the color of 'Mrs. Charles J. Bell' is particularly beautiful when beside magenta and purplish-red roses (mine is near a 'Pergolese'). But, I ramble...

NHSuzanne - "floor sweepings" ... LOL what a great term! Personally, I haven't found a green tea I loved. In fact, I have to empty my pantry 'tea bag area' and start again. I've spent a small fortune on my quest for the best green tea. Settling on arizona pre-made for now.

Ellen,

You really should try to find a local tea merchant and sample the teas. They are usually very helpful. Loose tea takes a bit more work but it's not a problem when you have a tea ball, etc. I have even mastered making a pitcher of green tea for ice tea. I really like the gunpowder green the best although there are several green teas, sans the artificial flavoring of the bagged versions, to sample.

Suzanne, your right. We have lots of trendy "tea shoppes" here (you know, ladies luncheon teas with gloves and all, hummmm - nice atmosphere) Anyway, not so many tea merchants - would Starbucks or Barnies be appropriate? I really like loose tea, prepared in japanese restaurants it is so traditional and tastes sooo good.

Ellenrose,

You can try Starbucks but I don't know if they have a good selection. I do know that most specialty coffee companies, like Starbucks, usually carry tea as well. So if you don't have a tea house try the coffee places around I am sure you find some good teas too.
