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.

I like 'J.E. Murphy's Pink Tea' (which may be 'Mme. Emilie Charrin'). It has a perfectly healthy and vigorous plant, good leaves, and a flower of a decided pink color with a form which is both pretty and distinctive. Recommended. My 'Second Street Tea' is taking its sweet time to make anything of itself; but early this year, it started to show some interest in growing, so we'll see. The plant is not yet large enough for me to trust how representative the flowers it has are; but, as of yet, they're a warm light pink, and full of petals. 'Arcadia Louisiana Tea' is wonderfully happy in my garden--healthy, vigorous, bloomy, and beautiful. The flower color is essentially a chalky pink, which doesn't sound as attractive as it is. The bush is about six and a half feet tall, and thickly foliaged. It would dominate that area of the garden if it weren't for an extremely vigorous 'Faberge', which is just as tall, and, by its orange color, distracts from 'Arcadia Louisiana Tea'. I think 'Faberge' is an outstanding rose, indeed one of the very best; but I wish I had planted it elsewhere (it wasn't supposed to be so tall!). But no way am I moving a big, healthy, happy rose... Like 'Second Street Tea', my 'Florence Bowers' is a little slow getting started; but, that said, it did put out this year a good, if slender, six-foot cane, more like one would expect of a climber than of a regular Tea. The plant is young, so I can't really say much about the flowers; but it seems to bloom in flushes rather than anything like continuously.

What is your favorite mauve Hybrid Tea?

The bloom opened. Pretty flower: loosely quartered (similar to Comte de Chambord), lightly fragrant, and clear lilac*. Good, strong stem. The color and fragance was disappointing but this is a first year own root plant. I'll give it another year or two for the plant to mature before making a final judgment. The plant itself is still tiny, but bigger than four other own roots in the same pot ghetto. Only the Bourbon DUEL DE DR. REYNAUD is bigger, and it is a climber. It is also one of the few babies that has foliage. I don't spray the roses in my pot ghetto because I want to be able to accurately access their black spot resistance before planting. You'd be surprised at how many of the babies never make it into the beds. * I define lilac as lavender with a noticeable pink undertone.

Off hand, I think I only have one, so it must be my favorite - Rouge Royale - and I am not going to post that photo again. I'm getting weary of it so I know everyone else must gag. It's news to me that Twilight Zone is a HT. Mine doesn't look like it in bush or bloom form. So, it's another favorite. Roberto Capucci - I planted him, changed my mind, put him back in his original band pot and he's bursting at the seams to get in the ground. I love him even though he hasn't bloomed yet. He's an eager one! If we're calling Quietness a HT, then it's definitely up there with Rouge Royale, and they look smashing together. Cream Veranda and Westerland are HTs?! No way! Mine have been keeping this little secret to themselves. Geez, I didn't know I had so many HTs.

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.
