favourite teas?

What are your current teas of choice? It is so cold in here I find myself wanting to drink tea all the time!

Any teas you drink that are supposed to boost fertility? Any teas that you had to stop drinking because of the potential harms?

I love tea! Green tea is rumored to increase EWCM, so that could be a good start. I prefer loose teas, and I like whole-leaf gunpowder green.

I also found a coconut oolong somewhere that I love. I drank a rooibos today because I'm sick and my husband says it's supposed to settle your stomach...

I love most herbal teas- peppermint, chamomile, etc. Last night I tried "constant comment" and loved it! Has orange peel and cloves in it.

I'm obsessed with tea, but I'm not a fancy chick... I do straight up Yogi tea. My favorites are the womans raspberry leaf, green tea pomegranate, ecchinacea, and calming. I don't know the safety or effectiveness of these, so one should do their own research on that. I'm sick right now so ecchinacea has been the go to. I also LOVE just straight up hot water sans tea bag.

I love jasmine tea and Bigelow earl grey! Highly recommend.

Gizmo36 · January 2014

Chocolate Chai and Pumpkin Chai are my current favorites. I also have a cinnamon bun one that's pretty good.

KingLED · January 2014

This is my new favorite right now...

They have a holiday chai that's really good, too. My usual go-to for cold days is peppermint tea, though. I get a lot of headaches and the peppermint seems to help a bit.

I don't drink "real tea." But I drink herbal teas...My favorite is a rooibos chai from Teavanna. Yummy.

I used to work with a doctor who liked plain hot water and I always thought it was so weird. I guess she's not the only one that likes it!

I pretty much like any kind of tea. I just got a Keurig so I'm hoping maybe to find some good teas for it. And this thread made me remember I have some vanilla chai tea so I'm going to have some. Yum!!!!

Trader Joe's candy cane green tea!!! It's decaf green tea with peppermint, vanilla, roasted carob and other stuff. YUM!!!!!111!1!11! It only comes out during the holidays and I always get all the boxes. I drink decaf green tea every morning anyway. And it does increase CM, at least for me it does. Bonus! Also Teavana has this white chocolate peppermint that is amazeballs.

jcsumm0 · January 2014

I like herb teas from Celestial Seasonings. All their fruit ones are great iced in the summer and hot in the winter. Just recently got one called Jammin Lemon Ginger and it is really nice too.

BankerBSN · January 2014

I love Tazo's Calm and Relax. I can drink either all day.

sister13 · January 2014

Jasmine green tea is my favorite! I get the loose jasmine "pearls" but Numi has a fabulous jasmine green tea bag. I am a sucker for Teavana sets with multiple tins and loose teas. When I occasionally try to cut back on coffee, I go to the Asian market and get the large box of jasmine green tea. It's good and less pricey.

mander82 · January 2014

My favorites are green tea with blueberry and ginger. Lipton makes a blueberry acai berry green tea and yogi makes a blueberry slim tea....or something like that it's called. Yogi ginger is my favorite ginger one.

MrsMac613 · January 2014

I love love love Lili'uokalani tea. I get it from a local tea house but it can be purchased online from Seredipitea or on amazon. For fertility I usually drink green tea from Cd1 until O.

nyg2042 · January 2014

Twinings Mint Green Tea - I really notice an increase in my EWCM when I drink green tea while waiting to O. Plus the mint flavoring is very yummy. I don't drink it during the 2ww bc I remember reading green tea could potentially affect implantation.

Pintobean39 · January 2014

I've just gotten into loose tea. I have a green tea pomegranate that I just LOVE!!! My son bought me for Christmas a Teavanna ceramic tumbler so I can make my tea to go. It's freaking awesome!!! It has a small basket on the inside to hold the loose tea.

Here is a pic of the tumbler. I also gota Togo container to hold my tea in so I can have tea anywhere I can find hot water.

WolFox · January 2014

I can be complicated, but sometimes I'm simple...

English Breakfast with milk, please...

jlbeanza · January 2014

@MmmPopcorn Coconut oolong sounds amazing!

I found pumpkin chai, and I have an organic pomegranate green that I love. I'm obsessed with tea lately, love the timing of this thread!

sometimes i like hot tea with a lot of lemon first thing in the morning. i too love tea but nothing too fancy. green tea, earl grey and black tea with milk and sugar. sometimes i get on a bengal spice kick, but i'm pretty sick of it right now.

@catmagick what the HELL have I been missing?! That sounds amazing, I wonder if TJs is still carrying it?!

I drink all the mints. And I've started drinking Red Raspberry Leaf which is anecdotally helpful during pregnancy and delivery. It helps condition the uterus, so, contractions are easier? But not good during the first tri. This is one of those "I'm not a doctor, people" moments so do some research. I actually just like the taste but apparently that's unusual, people on another board think it's vile and needs to be sweetened, iced and chugged. I think it tastes like a really delicate herbal tea. Dunno. I like it.

Lizbeth2462 · January 2014

I'm big on Bigelow green tea with pomegranate right now! And have heard both green tea and pomegranate are good for fertility, so maybe the combination is even better? (Or at least, that's what my non-researched, non-doctor logic tells me).

Also I do love Teavana and have one of their infusers for loose tea. All of their green teas that I have tried are really good!

akcrowe · January 2014

I tried Teavanas white chocolate peppermint this season and it was amazing. I don't even like white chocolate or peppermint but it's so good!

hecklet · January 2014

This thread just inspired me to go spend too much money at teavana.com. They have some pretty good sales going on right now....

I really like chai teas and rooibos teas. Rooibo's are a nice caffeine free option. I always gravitate towards anything that is either Vanilla or fruity flavored, or nutty. Really I like anything. Loose leaf tea is my favorite- more flavorful.

I did try a green tea for cd1- O. I really like it, very refreshing. https://www.vitacost.com/good-earth-citrus-kiss-green-tea-decaffeinated?csrc=GPF-PA-027018302575&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=027018302575&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=027018302575&gclid=CMu4wcK25rsCFcsRMwodjRAArg

@irishcurls they might still have some left over, but doubt it since it's so popular. Also Red Raspberry is amazing and I love it. I make something I call Women's Lovely Tea and mix it with other delicious herbs and herbs that are helpful for pregnancy. I'm an herbalist and love to make tea.

Also @nyg2042 I think you'd have to drink a lot of green tea for it to affect implantation. 1 cup in the morning won't do anything.

EmeJay · January 2014

2014 resolution - Work my way through all David's tea menu. They open a location downstair from my office!

Favourite so far: Three Wishes, Blueberry Pie (and I'm not a fan of fruity tea), Coconut Chai, Cream of Earl Grey and Flamengo (Iced).

joshua+rebecca11 · January 2014

Chamomile

I love that stuff.

norweigan · January 2014

I love Celestial Seasonings' Pomegranate Green Tea and Sleepy Time Tea. I swear the Sleepy Time Tea totally works. I always drink it when I have to go to bed early, and I'm instantly tired, followed by a really deep sleep .Could be all in my head though.

kwicks · January 2014

I love green jasmine, and chamomile or sleepy time tea are my favorite at night.

And... For a little kick, put a bit of brandy (or more than a bit) in chai or chamomile. Super yummy!
