on board tea question

[hsb248]

Sort of a off the wall on board question.... the free hot tea / tea bags provided on board is Green Tea a option / choice and what brand and or are there options or is it just plain black tea like Lipton? Thanks

[SportsMomof4]

Great question....I am a big tea drinker (but just the ol' plain Lipton!) so I would love to know as well!

[rrraydon]

By the drink stations there's a box with a variety of tea bags. I'm not a hot tea drinker so I'm not sure of the kinds..maybe someone else knows.

:pElation has trannied to "Bigelow" products.....Green Tea, and my fave, Lemon Lift..available since Nov, and last week..use up what Liption is left and we will all be happy !

[willow0325]

I don't really remember specifically what kinds, just that there was a good selection. That being said, we always bring our own favorite tea bags with us just in case. And they sure don't take up much space in the suitcase!

I'm pretty sure they have Bigelow and Lipton. And if I remember correctly, there was green tea.

That's what I saw on the Dream and Inspiration last year. Unless you're attending afternoon tea, where you are presented with a choice, you have to be on the lookout for the tea box on the Lido deck. As a previous poster mentioned, it is by the drink station (I saw it only at the back station in the indoor Lido restaurant), and the box is usually closed and kind of to the side of the sugar packets, coffee stirrers, etc.

I looked all around for the "tea box" on my last cruise.

FINALLY someone pointed it out to me. It is a wooden box on the edge of the counter where the sugar is located.It has all sorts of teas inside so I am sure you will find what you like. I also bring a few bags of "medicinal' tea like peppermint and licorice for tummy/gas/ etc.

I forgot to mention that you can request hot tea from room service and in the main dining room as well. Nothing like a soothing cup of decaf mint tea after dinner! :D

I am also a tea drinker! But they never have my favourite which is english breakfast as i am from the uk! They do have it in the dining room though.

 

At the buffet from what i can remember they had green tea, Regular lipton, a orange flavoured one (which was really nice) and a lemon. There were more but u cant remember them.

We are just off of the Legend and they had the tea box at all of the drink stations, open and available, with about 9 different teas including herbal, green, regular, decaf, and English Breakfast. We were also given these choices at breakfast, lunch (on sea days) and dinner in the dining room . . . all we had to ask! Also given the same choices out of the tea box presented at afternoon tea (on sea days). I was very pleased with the choices and the water was always very hot . . . just the way I like it. Enjoy, tea lovers!

I drink English Breakfast as well and I've always been able to get it on the Lido.

On the dream , we attended afternoon tea and the waiters walked around with boxes of assorted teas for your choice -there was green tea. I take bottles and make my own brewed ice tea to drink during the day so there is tea bags available in the lido area with the sugars etc. Room service will also bring hot tea supplies to you.

Picture in the link is from 2006.

 

As luckycruzer has posted, all the teas in the wooden chests are Bigelow. The Earl Greys are available in the chests besides green and herbal teas.

 

The regular and decaffienated black teas are still Lipton, I believe. They are available beside the hot water taps where the sugar and cream are.

I bring my own tea. Lipton doesn't cut it. I have a stash of PG Tips that I carry on vacation so I get a good cup of tea.

On our last cruise on the Fascination, there was Bigilow tea, Peppermint, Earl Gray, English breakfast, Chai Spice, Lemon Lift. I would fix a cup and have it before bed time. very nice.:)

I have a love/hate with this website as I am drawn like a moth to a flame to anything FOOD! :D

 

Once again...

 

I am hungry! There are some beautiful pictures I have seen of the Carnival Tea.
