    I love a nice, hot cup of chamomile tea. It soothes my stomach and is especially calming before bed.

    My wife’s from New Zealand, and she’s the main influence that has me drinking tea. As such, I tend to prefer it the way they do, which is an English breakfast tea with a bit of sugar and milk. Gonna go make a cup right now, in fact. :)

  3. Shazia

    I’ve done all three things (signed up for samovar’s newsletter, and followed both samovar and eat drink better on twitter)

  4. Shazia

    I just realized that each post is an entry, so this is my second, saying I’m following samovar on twitter

    I’m a big green tea drinker. It’s very soothing and gives me a nice pick-up in the morning. I also enjoy herbal teas.

    done, done and done …

    My favorite tea so far is White Monkey and a Pu-erh. Enjoying both of those quite a bit!

  12. Divya M

    Want! Here’s my latest concoction: mixed Amaretto & Passion Fruit Oolong tea. That thing is DELISH! I’ve called it Mistryfication.

  13. Lindsey

    I am not a tea newbie but would love the tea newbie set. My favorite tea depends on the time of the day…green tea in the morning followed by Earl Grey or Irish tea, an herbal tea in the afternoon or chamomile at night.

  14. Cherylyn

    I signed up for the newsletter and I happen to love Earl Grey tea with just a bit of honey. Delish!

  17. Marilyn

    Two of my favorite tea flavors are Argo Tea’s Darjeeling Champagne and Eden Organic’s Hojicha.

  19. Taylen

    coffee shop around the corner has the best blend…with a little agave syrup and a splash of cream…perfect for when i don’t want coffee breath!

  21. Tom Schluep

    One of my favorite teas is actually from samovar. Scarlet Sable is a blend of black and rooibos tea, it’s definitely one of my favorites of all time!

  28. Christine

    Tea with ginger is my favorite medicine for an upset stomach, and chai tea with almond milk is another favorite. Also following @samovarlife on twitter!

  32. Gwen

    I love white teas in general, but lately tisanes (especially Hibiscus Spice with cinnamon from Teahouse Kuan Yin in Seattle) have become a near-daily indulgence!

  34. Gwen

    I’ve been on the Samovar newsletter list since its inception and have just added myself to the Eat.Drink.Better list! Thanks for spreading the word about my favorite San Francisco tea spot.

  35. Jeffrey Posey

    There are so many good teas to choose from as my favorite, but I think my favorite style might be Pu-erh and I love Samovar’s Palace Pu-erh.

  38. Richard Louis James

    My week is not complete unless I make a trip into the city to experience the tranquility, exquisite food and one of the great Pu-erh’s at Samovar.

  39. Gela

    I love cardamom tea! I am excited to see the newbie set COULD be mine. Thanks for the offer to sign up to win.

  41. Eve

    I love quite a few of Samovar’s teas.
    Maiden’s Ecstasy
    Lychee Black
    Ocean of Wisdom
    Ryokucha
    and Samovar Masala Chai
    just to name a few ;)

    I have the Samovar life newsletter and I love learning about the events and new deals! I <3 Samovar teas~~

    Tea is such a personal thing… your taste is dependent on so many factors – what you’re eating, how you’re feeling, the time of day, the weather…

    My current favorite is Pu-erh tea – it’s full-bodied, rich and smooth without the slightest hint of bitterness. It’s caffeinated, but wonderful for any time of day – morning & night. If you’re interested, Samovar has a wonderful selection!

  53. Christine

    Nothing beats a good cup of high quality green tea! Well, except a great cup of coffee. Thankfully I get to indulge in both now and then!

  59. Linda

    just found your site and am thrilled to start learning about your teas.

    I have signed up for your Samovar newsletter

    I’ve been trying to switch from coffee to tea and have found an awesome breakfast blend of black tea and chocolate that I am in love with. Then I switch to a green (right now I’m on a peppermint green tea kick) for a little afternoon refreshment. Helps to keep me focused :-)

  62. Chris M.

    My favorite tea is the High Mountain Gensing Oolong. Oolongs have long been my favorite tea, always looking for new types though!
