Bird and Blend is a small company and still relatively new. I suspect it might be a rwbranded Jollybrew, as they're both from Oxfordshire and have very similar ranges. Their pumpkin tea is my go-to for autumn.
So, when you say you had chai tea, you're just saying you had tea tea.
When I order a Chai Tea Latte, I'm basically ordering a Tea Tea Milk. ;)
Anyway, I used to not drink coffee and tea. Now I drink tea. I'll never drink coffee, though. Its bitterness is beyond saving unless I saturate the solution with sugar. That said, the smell of coffee (2-Furanmethanethiol) early in the morning, combined with all those lovely odours of fresh bread, products of the divine Maillard reaction, is a joy. (Yes, chemistry is sensational.)
Welcome to the club!
I do like spicy/flavoured tea as well,,especially in autumn. As I usually drink tea with dessert or a sugary breakfast, I never feel the need to sweeten it.
started buying these, they taste good.
I tend to gravitate to Tea's with health benefits and it makes me drink less caffeine. I have been drinking Yorkshire Tea again recently, I was exclusively coffee drinking for a period of time though I enjoy Tea again now.
In fact I may make a cup of tea now, with a rich tea biscuit.
The girl realty has had a lot to deal with, certainly puts things in perspective.
Indeed, welcome to the club! Allthough I still don't understand the bitter-comment. Tea isn't bitter. If you use boiling (not boiled!) water, prefereably let the tea cook a bit, it won't taste bitter at all. People seem t forget how tea was discovered: leaves of the plant were falling into a pot of cooking water. The bitterness comes from using hot, but not cooking water (somewhere around 80 degrees C).
At the office I drink tea from bags, usually with a bit of fruit-flavour. At home it's usually a certain Indonesian black tea with long leaves (@Darth I don't know if they hve it in Belgium, but over here Simpn Levelt shops have quite the range of loose tea to choose from, all high quality stuff). Just bought some loose lapsang-like smokey tea as well, for the late evenings.
Personally, I'd rather drink rooibos.
I needed to cut down my caffeine intake for health reasons, I was drinking too much... to compensate I increased my whiskey intake lol
That's one way to do it.

Here in the UK they have changed the design of my favourite tea - PG Tips and with it seemingly the taste of the tea as well. It's disappointing as before the rebranding it had a much nicer taste.
I think lager is. And maybe football.
My granddad used to say it was the Spice Girls. 😄
And not forgetting Justin Bieber.
That said Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is a wee bit pricey for me. I live near a local roaster (I guess that's what you call them?) in my area though and enjoy their blends on occasion.
Recently however, to reduce my coffee consumption, I have tried to make a habit of drinking tea in the evening, whenever I need something other than just water. I usually drink Twinings Earl Grey Tea with a bit of honey, but I might be tempted to go down the route of getting tea from specialty shops, just like I do with my coffee.
I've never had ginger tea. However, as I don't really like the taste of ginger very much I'd imagine I'd have to pass on that one. Sorry. 🙂
