There are two great tea shops that I know of in Oslo - Le Palais de Thés, and Black Cat. Look them up if you're in the city :)

Anyone have a favorite tea for making iced tea? I love my Sweet Flower Oolong tea (from teasource.com), but am always looking for suggestions!

I've tried various oolong teas, but I haven't found any better than this kind - http://bit.ly/7sosyM from The Spice & Tea exchange. It has a delicious roasted flavor and it's high in caffeine to boot. Anyone have any quality oolong tea recommendations?

I've been brewing a teabag of Bentley's White Tea each morning. I can sometimes find the cans of tea in HomeGoods, marked down to $5.99 supposedly from $10. The tea can be come plain or come with a flavor like raspberry. And I add vanilla extract and giant tapioca pearls, which come in black, green, or multicolor.

Vanessa Alvarado:
That sounds delicious. I love tea with tapioca pearls- incredibly addictive.

My recent awesome tea find is Teavana's Youthberry white tea: http://www.teavana.com/Loose-Leaf-Teas/Teas-that-Please/Youthberry-White.... It has a very mild floral/tropical fruit blend to it with only 1% of the caffeine content that you'd find in a cup of coffee. I also blend it with Teavana's Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate (http://www.teavana.com/The-Teas/Mate-Teas/Raspberry-Riot-Lemon-Mate-Tea.axd)--but only put 1 part mate to 3 parts Youthberry or else you'll overpower the gentle flavor!

We have been using an electric kettle at work, which is nice because we can get the water pretty hot. It would be great to have an exactly perfect temperature though - which is crucial for the perfect cup.

Tea is love! Any of you guys make your own tea from scratch? I do mostly herbal blends (sometimes too lazy to get me some tea leaves and I can't grow them in my backyard). I also make my own reusable tea bags: http://tinyurl.com/ylovrm4

I make herbal infusions and tea mixes from herbs grown in my back yard and sometimes from dried herbs I purchase locally. One of my favorites is chocolate mint; it's a beautiful plant that tastes like peppermint tea. It smells rich and delicious when dried.
