I think I've tried Ethiopian tea.... at least, I've had the tea at the local Ethiopian restaurant which was quite different than normal tea and very, very good.
Generally when a tea or coffee is labelled with a style like "arabic coffee" or "ethiopian tea", it's because they've added a spice to make it distinctive. In the case of Arabic coffee, for example, the coffee is brewed super strong and it's also brewed with cardamom. I'm just guessing that Ethiopian Tea is brewed with something extra.
The general consensus from my Google searching seems to center around cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and dried orange being added to African black tea. Sounds about right to me.

So... basically chai? Sounds good to me.
It's about 100x better than chai.

I really like coconut pie or coconut ice-cream if they don't have slivers of coconut in them... It's a texture thing for me.
However, I tried a coconut chai once and it almost made me sick. When I think of it now it actually triggers my gag reflex... So, I'm not a fan of coconut in tea. Chocolate tea is also beyond me, but I digress.
Did you know Picard was originally supposed to Drink Lapsang Souchong, black tea. I have a small pouch on my desk... S T R O N G S T U F F! I guess it was decided Lapsang Souchong, Hot. did not bounce off ears as easily as E.G.H. did. tea.wikia.com/wiki/Lapsang_souchong
You have smelled the campfire? IC Tea drinkers were born in the campfire. Raised up in it. Do you think your possession of this tea gives you power over me? You think darkness is your ally?

Can someone play me some cowboy chords for this? clears throat
I remember Russian Caravan... Smells like a campfire. Tastes like it, too. My grandaddy heard tell once of a man who could drink a cup of the stuff without flinching. I ain't never seen anything like that m'self. God's truth, I don't think a man like that exists.

@GnomeQueen, No... where did you find it? Is it not real tea? I am confusion.
Come to think of it, so was the food.
Man, now I want Ethiopian... THANKS GNOBAMA
My new favorite is called Coconut Rush.
Malty Assam Black Tea blended with Organic Southern American Yerba Mate, real coconut shavings and lightly sweetened with Creme Brulee.
It has truly replaced my morning Coffee.
First post, not spam, so amaze!

Chocolate tea
That's a real thing?
I have, in my possession, white chocolate peppermint tea. It is utterly glorious to my tastebuds. Might not be for everybody, though.
I've never had white chocolate, but all the chocolate teas I've ever tasted have been overwhelmingly chemically tasting.
This is all I've been drinking lately:

I love the bitterness. I tossed out all my Assam, couldn't handle the caffeine.
I also have a cup of Ashitaba here and there, but it is pretty sweet for my taste.
/cool story bro
I can try and bring some back for you at Expo as a sample if you like.
This stuff will jack you sideways.
Definitely! I'd be willing to try it.
I've been drinking the Captain's brew lately: Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.

In all honesty it smells like a campfire....

Pretty sure we enjoyed some of that liquid smoke during Icrontifest Destiny II.
It was goooooood. I think @UPSLynx even picked some up to go.
Can confirm - significant amounts of lapsang souchong/russian caravan in that photo
