Most often I have a gingernut biscuit with my cuppa, and yes I do dunk this.

@Michael37 I get a kick out of that word "cuppa." I first heard it from Marilyn C. I asked her "What IS that?" lol  (She lives in Australia.)

So now a question for you in New Zealand. What is a gingernut biscuit? Is it a sort of cookie? I like all things ginger Would it be similar to an American gingerbread or ginger snap? Does it have nuts in it?

Sounds yummy and like a good choice to accompany a cup of tea.

I drink organic Choice white tea. It is incredibly healthy and has very, very little caffeine. Less than a cup of decaf coffee. I drink it with a teaspoon of local raw honey.I drink two cups a day.  Not many people know about white tea. It is the healthiest of the 4 teas that have the most health benefits. There is white, green, oolong and black tea. Black tea has the most caffeine. Like drinking a cup of coffee. They all have different health benefits. The reason white tea is so healthy is because it is the least processed of all the 4 teas.

@BeauJangles Mmmm. Yum! These sound great! I will have to look into some of those. I used to get my tea from a health food place (coop) out of town (but can no longer get out there.) Locally, all we have is Walmart.

I'm intrigued with that Emperor's Choice tea you described. Sounds unique by the ingredients. Does it tend to be more spicy than sweet?

The fruit teas you mentioned 'tickle my fancy'  for sure.

Just to step in there if I could. Yes, biscuits are our version of cookies. UK - NZ - AU call them that.

Yes, I would say so. It also has hints of ginger and perhaps tad bit of cloves. It does advantage it with light honey, such as clover especially. It just makes you feel so good! (maybe the ginseng?)

I am not able to drink coffee (sigh) so I do enjoy tea. I am not a fan of english breakfast tea though and I usually drink iced tea. But I tend to like a wide variety. Oolong, white tea, jasmine green, darjeeling, earl grey, licorice tea, tisanes like hibiscus tea, etc. I do not use milk or lemon in them. I have sweetened them with honey or sugar. 

You would get along great with my wife Ayin,  and her tea(s) collection.  She has a whole pantry (almost) to handle all the varieties. (Lotta green types)
Now it essential oils, there all over the house, and such tiny little square bottle-et's, probably only a few tablespoons. One for each ailment.
(She's got me hooked on them now :)

Yes, I remember your asking Marilyn C about our "cuppa". A very English colloquialism it is.

Here's my favourite brand of gingernut biscuit/cookie and they are perfect for dunking as shown. No nuts in the bought ones.

 I might go for LiberTea, otherwise I'll stick to my coffee, strong, black, 5AM. And yes I do have some Luwak.

@Michael37Thanks. They look delish!

I'll have to digest this confession...
