Licorice Spice for me. I'm not too much of tea drinker, but I love this flavor.
I've been looking up some of the Celtic, Norse, and Welsh legends and fairy tales on the net. Its fun to see where some of our modern classics have come from.

I'm not much of a British-style tea drinker, but I do love iced tea (which, at least as I understand it anyway, is frowned upon in the old country because they like hot tea there -- correct me if I'm wrong, though  ). Anyway, speaking of modern classics, I'm in the process of rereading "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. Anyone else read them? They're pretty good -- not quite LOTR good, but up there still. |

i like herbal tea but i'm more of a latte perosn myself
Our school has a myths and legends club, called the Sea and the Laurel. We mainly focus on Irish myths but we do go into others, i prefer the Irish myths sorry i'm highly biased toward them. (Tolkien didn't like my language though grrrr)
I like the chronicals of Narnia, though there a bit juvinile...for my taste anyway

Yeah, they're definitely geared more toward children than adults -- but I suppose I must be young at heart, because I also like the Harry Potter novels.
I'd like to familiarize myself better with some of the Irish myths and legends. There's something I heard about called "Leanan Sidhe" that sounded pretty interesting.

I'll take a russian tea. (mmmm good!)
Speaking of welsh and celtic things, has anyone ever read the Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander? They're based on either celtic or welsh mythology.

No, I haven't read them yet, but I plan to as soon as I finish "The Belgariad" by David Eddings (which, by the way, is pretty good so far -- even though I've only read the first book  ). That way, I can participate in the Prydain forums on your site.  |

What is the Red Branch cycle? It sounds interesting, but I've never heard of it.

A period of Irish mythology concerning the red branch nights, an elite group of warriors who liked a bit of a party! ;D

I prefer coffee to tea, personally.  |
