I have black tea, without milk or sugar. They just ruin the taste.

I love tea, but mint's my favorite flavor. I'll drink pretty much any type of flavored tea, though... whatever I find in the cupboard. I like some Indian spice tea I found in there as well as a gingerbread spice tea. I've also enjoyed some stranger tea varieties, such as peach cobbler tea.

that sounds pretty good. weird, but good.

oh, and sorry to just make assumptions, I figured with the single-worded comment of "mint" you didn't prefer any other kinds, and only drank mint tea once in a while(as in once or twice a month).

I love tea! Not the stuff in the bags though, that stuff is gross (sometimes). I prefer my tea to be loose-leaf without any sugar, honey, cream, milk, etc.. I drink oolong, black, green, white, rooibos, and mate. I really life samuri chai mate tea, it is really good, wakes you up without overdoing it and curbs your appetite.

I like Chai teas, but drinking it too much makes me feel sick, for some reason.... I had one with cinnamon, nutmeg and all kinds of other stuff I can't remember, and I haven't pulled it out of the cupboard since... but other than that, an occasional Chai tea is very comforting on a cold day.




Speaking of tea on cold days, I had a "Roasted Walnut" blend of green tea, pineapple, and other bits of things, and the bag said that roasted walnuts was an ancient chinese method used to warm the body. surprisingly, it did, and a little too much. I was wearing a sweater and pants in a house kept at around 70 degrees F, and within half an hour I had to change into shorts and take off the sweater, I was sweating so bad.

it was also very good...

Verbena, eh? what's it like?



milk in green tea? I though it would curdle it... I like to sweeten some tea's with honey, too. I had a "blueberry honey" that was really good in teas, once....

It has been awhile, maybe it was just regular tea. I haven't used milk in a long time, now come to think of it, since I have been drinking Green Tea.

Now I feel like having some tea which I haven't had in ages :)

The women in my family (and most of our friend families) are all from eastern Europe. So I'm not sure if its a custom from that area but they drink 99% of the time Very strong Red tea with Raspberry Jam in place of sugar. Usually 2 spoons of jam. Myself, I like Earl Gray, always have, always will. Although the red tea I described is also really good.

I was wrong, its called Ahmad Special Blend, not Breakfast Blend. Here is the box blurb:

A special tea with Earl Grey. Quality Broken Orange Pekoe Tea chosen from the best tea of Sri Lanka and other countries, flavoured with bergamont. A tea of excellent colour, taste and aroma.

Pour hot water strait over the tea leaves. You can do it in your cup, but you usually have a special little pot for the distilled uber-tea. Since the leaves are not smooshed together, you can get more tea out of them than you can in a baggy.

But I thought you werent supposed to drink them, and that was why they are bagged.

Tea leaves generally sink to the bottom of the cup. Unless you're planning on just gulping your tea down like a shot, you shouldn't have that much of a problem.

Coffee is too hard on my stomach so I always drink tea! My go-to teas are chai (regular, chocolate and honey vanilla), candycane (mint and a bit of vanilla), plain green or Earl Grey. I'll drink any kind of tea though :)

The tea needs to be drunk in order for you to buy it? That poses a bit of a problem... :P

Does anyone else like to add a bit of rum in their cup of tea? My usual teacup consists of, well, tea, three to four small spoons of sugar, a bit of rum and a bit of milk. YUMMEH!

I have an excess of tea, won't buy any new until the current stockpile is exhausted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_infuser This is what I use for my loose tea. The second picture, I have 3 of them and they are all older than I am. They were my grandmas. :)

I also have the spoon one...
