I have to agree T2 oolong is not very exciting for oolong lovers. The white dragon oolong will give a slight more "milky" touch to the milkshake since it is milky flavoured oolong. I recently tried a Tie Guan Yin latte from cha tea kiosk. I should have told them to go really light on the sweetness, but the basic flavour is kind of nice - they of course use the cheaper variety of heavy roasted Tie Guan Yin. It's so much fun playing with tea in kitchen ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225335587702219245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-8922095157589717982010-01-12T08:15:15.216+11:002010-01-12T08:15:15.216+11:00Siobhan, thanks for stopping by.

I am not 100% sure if T2 has any stockists in the states, but I just checked their website www.t2tea.com.au, and if you click on the green button on the front page that says 'T2 International', it takes you to a couple of pages where it explains that while they can't take online international orders at the moment, they can do mail order. You can contact them at online@t2tea.com.au to find out more, apparently! Hope this helps.Veri-Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240932063144037031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-1434651737591403562010-01-12T05:39:05.830+11:002010-01-12T05:39:05.830+11:00does anyone know where I can find T2 in the States...does anyone know where I can find T2 in the States?

Is that because American culture is cooler there than in the UK? Because I hear from tea people in the UK that iced tea is practically heresy. <a href="http://www.jasonwitt.org/teaternity.html" rel="nofollow">--Teaternity</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-77660747130333748682009-10-21T16:21:31.250+11:002009-10-21T16:21:31.250+11:00Thanks for the link Robert!

I haven't tried the Lipton green tea you mention - to be honest I'm probably unlikely to, I find that commercially made, bottled iced teas are usually much too heavily sweetened for my taste - and there is very little tea flavour in them, and I may as well buy soft drink (which I don't drink either).Veri-Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240932063144037031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-9157190739111454832009-10-16T09:55:59.495+11:002009-10-16T09:55:59.495+11:00Great recipe for Iced Tea.
