How do you like your tea?

[An Officer]

I'd like to say: Earl Grey. Hot. ...but, I actually prefer lemon green tea with honey. Ahmad Tea brand, specifically.

I drank so much of the stuff one day (probably a couple of litres), that I ended up skipping an entire night's sleep, and feeling fired enough at 5am to go for a 4 hour long walk along Southbank - all the way to Tower Bridge and back again. Kind of invigorating actually. Although, I won't be drinking so much again anytime soon!

You?

Ceylon, Lady Grey, Earl Grey. Something along those lines. No milk or sugar.

 

[Geckothan]

I dislike tea.

I prefer green tea, specifically Tazo brand Zen green tea. My wife regularly has some expensive teas sent to our house, which I will occasionally try, but I keep going back to plain ol' green tea.

 

[Goliath]

I like tea, and I'll try anything once. But I prefer Earl Grey and Vanilla Rooibos.

I don't take anything with my tea. I'm not sure what you call that--if it was coffee, I'd call it "black."

 

[Kestra]

Not a fan of tea, mostly because my mom always seems to force it on me when I'm sick so I associate that with it.

I'll have maybe one cup twice a year with my parents though, and we do it the Indian way ... milk, sugar, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, etc. I can't think of all the English names for the spices right now!

Yup. Me too.

I don't put anything in it. People who put stuff in their tea totally baffle me.

I feel the same way about coffee except I don't drink a lot of coffee.

I only drink the herbal kind. I love Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger, Lemon Zinger, and Sleepytime. I also like Twinings African Honeybush. I don't add milk, but I do add honey. (I'll use sugar if there's no honey available, but honey is way better.)

 

[An Officer]

^ Agreed. Honey gives tea a smoothness sugar can't match.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Earl Grey. Lukewarm. That's the only tea that's remotely drinkable; I have found no others that actually interact with my tastebuds. I don't put anything in it; if I want to taste honey, I'll eat honey. If I drink tea, I want to taste tea.

 

[Gertch]

Hot tea was always a favorite. But just lately I've started on iced tea for some reason and found I like it. I really like the Snapple green tea with mango. Yeah, it's more like a fruit drink than real tea, and has 15g sugar/serving, but it's good.

With the diabetes I'll have to look for a good green tea iced tea recipe without sweeteners before long though.

 

[AdAstra]

I can say: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. (well, green Earl Grey) That's what I drink most often, with just a little bit of sugar.

I drink a lot of other tea too, as long as it's not too fruity.

 

[Roshi]

Chilled.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Black, with no milk or sugar.

I'm no fan of herbal tea, I'm not embarrassed to admit. I wouldn't be a proper Anarchist, therefore, as they drink ONLY herbal tea - after all, all proper tea IS theft...

 

[Plecostomus]

I like my tea the same way I like my women: Found in a shady supermarket at 1AM after work.

 

[The Lady Eve]

English or Irish Breakfast tea w/ milk.

 

[nevermore]

Iced. Sweet.

 

[thumbtack]

Poured down the sink and replaced with coffee.

I do agree that coffee is much better then tea. At least with coffee, you can actually taste something.
