How do you like your tea?

[Romulus]

I know Tea is a drink that is enjoyed the world over. I know each region of the world has a different ways they prepare tea. So I'm curious, since we have a pretty vast array of people from different countries. How do you like your tea?


Me? I am from Michigan but was raised in the south. So it has to be Ice cold sweet tea. Or as my relatives call it "sweet teahhhhh". As a matter of fact I'm drinking a tall glass full now. ;)

I also like Turkey Hill Raspberry, lemon, and peach teas.

I also love the Arizona Asian Plum tea made with plum juice and orange blossom honey.

I love hot tea.... lots of different flavors. My favorites:

Mandarin Orange with just a pinch of sugar to bring out the flavor.
Irish Breakfast or Darjeeling with hot milk and honey. Yum.

And iced tea, of course... because I'm a southern girl.

[Ria]

I like really cold, unsweet tea, I love Arizona Green Tea, and hot tea I noticed is really good with a little honey in it (well, depends on what kind). I love tea :) It's nice for relaxing...

naked poetry at home is more my style

[ShotOver]

Ah right, tea.
Yeah, bush tea is good. Get umm.. hot water and eucalyptus leaves, chuck em in the hot water, boil away for awhile and strain the liquid.
Gets rid of colds too ;)

Oh yeah, you can drink it any temperature, so its good for cold nights out in the bush, or hot days out in the bush haha.

Blech... I can't stand eucalyptus. I liked echinacea for a while, but I kind of got on a kick, and made myself sick of it.

[WolverineBlue]

I like that orange/cinnamon one...though it had a ton of sugar in it, and so I usually was vibrating when I was trying to fall asleep.

That's not terribly helpful. But orange flavored tea does rock.

I like Earl Grey Tea with sugar.

otherwise Arizona Iced Tea.

Right Now i could take some 151 with plum arizon iced tea though and drink myself to oblivion. :|
I should try to sleep again. Goddamn worries. :(

I don't think so... Constant Comment is an orange spice blend, but it doesn't have sugar... he might be talking about a bottled tea (I think I know way too damn much about tea... another nerdy thing).

No, it wasn't Constant Comment, but trust me, I tried Constant Comment enough in an attempt to recreate the vibrating. It was some other stuff...came in a big can (oddly enough). Some English stuff I think.

ahhh... well...I like Constant Comment... it's good without being sweet. I don't like sweet tea. I don't even like eating sweet things if I'm drinking tea, because it makes it taste sweet.
I like fresh brewed tea with fresh lemon and no sugar! :D

[sgt.pepper]

my favourite tea is earl grey without the sugar.

[spectre5]

When I drink tee I buy "Reilun kaupan"-tee, im not sure how that translates. Because they make sure the tee is not child labored and that the tee makers get money for their products.

Lets back to tea... I can drink anything.. but it must be at least warm...
Ussualy I give honey to that, never milk, sometimes when I'm sick I add raspberry juice... One screw cap of Rum is also good, but as abstinent I do that only when there is no raspberry juice anymore and Rum IS with happened twice in my life :) ....

Doh!

Mmmm, sweet ice tea! Warm tea w/ honey is pretty good in the cold months too.

Does anyone remember when Georgia proposed to require all Georgia restaurants that serve tea to serve sweet tea last year? It was an April Fool's Day joke, by John Noel??? if I remember correctly. :lol:

fintin, are you . . . . whatever.

There is only one way to drink tea. In a glass with ice and lemon. Sugar if needed is acceptable but anything else is . . . well ask fintin. ;)

Just kidding, I do like iced tea, though. Hard not to if you live in the South.

Brisk Iced Tea.

On a cold day, i like my english breakfast or earl grey (from 3-crown). On occasion, I like "Golden India" especially if it's not sold in tea bags.

The usual routine is two sugars, sometimes I switch to honey. Most of the time I drink mine with a lemon, but at times I'm not in the mood...

Anyway back to iced tea, I only like the powder or sweetened iced teas. I can't stand home made iced teas that are brewed then chilled, they just don't taste good.

[Dennis G]

has anyone ever had "Twinings Lapsang Souchong" it has a very strong smoky flavour. Its not bad

I also like Jasmine, Keemun, Strawberry Black Tea, Tiger Hill Estate Tea and Assam teas.

For Iced teas I like Orange Pekoe and that Arizona is very good too. Dont forget the Brisk, I think thats good as well.

Exactly!!!, this "tea" everyone else is taking about here is frankly Gay!!!, are the Brit's and the Irish the only one's who drink real tea, and tea is drunk from a blody great big mug not a ****ing cup,

It's okay to heat the water in a microwave, cause hot water is hot water (and cause I'm poor and haven't bought myself a kettle yet), but then you still have to steep it. I'm not a total barbarian.

Quit discriminating... just because we don't drink tea like you brits doesn't mean our tea is crap.

I'm sorry I have to disagree. I'm living in the states at the moment, MS, and I have yet to find a teabag that compares with the teabags in Britain (even though they may be made by the same company). So, in order for me to have a decent cup of tea I've got to use at least 2, sometimes 3 teabags / cup.

Saying that the Arizona stuff is pretty tasty and I have the odd cuppa iced tea, they do that pretty well in the South.

Have to agree with you there. This "Irish Breakfast tea" the Yanks have invented is about as close as it gets, but like you said you have to use about three bags. Thank god there is a little Indian grocery down the road from me that sells PG Tips.
