Scope of Sampling; Bret Wingert's "'Manly' Tea List"

My search for manly teas continues. I am enjoying my search as my taste buds try a variety of teas. I'm sampling black tea, green tea, white tea, and red tea. I'm also tasting a few other beverages that, while not technically teas (because they are not made from the Camellia sinensis plant), are infused drinks that taste good and have health benefits of their own. These latter libations include, but are not necessarily limited to, rooibos, mate, and various herbal teas.

I've also discovered that I am neither the first nor the only man who has looked for manly teas. Bret Wingert, Vice President of Souvia Tea in Phoenix, Arizona, is an avid drinker of green tea and has written a short guide that he calls "The 'manly' Tea List." I'm eager to try some of his recommendations. Here's a link to Mr. Wingert's list.

I hope you will enjoy it. In the meantime, my quest for manly teas goes on, enlightened and encouraged by these suggestions.
