Tea

[Trixsie Vixen]

Tea.  After water it's the most consumed drink in the world.


Yeah, let that sink in.  Infuse if you will...


Black tea, green tea, or herbal tea (aka tisanes or infusions which aren't technically tea), this is the thread to express your tea preferences, discuss tea issues or for the non-tea drinkers, find out what all the excitement is about!


So put the kettle on, grab a cup and pull up a seat - IT'S TEA TIME!

[Poli "Lissy" Drax]

I literally cannot survive a day unless I have two cups of tea at some point during it. Usually, one in the morning and one in the evening. It's either the caffeine or my English blood that causes me to do so, but I've never known which.


Black tea is best tea, but I usually add milk.

Fruit tea. My goodness I love fruit tea. I have about five cups a day. I feel grumpy without it.

[Trixsie Vixen]

I admit I drink coffee for the caffeine but tea for the taste.


My childhood teas were English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast and Orange Pekoe.
As I matured into a sophisticated 12 year old I took up Lady Grey because I found Earl Grey too strong a flavour, but I transitioned into it in my teens and Earl Grey is still my favourite, even though I might have a green tea/mint blend on the side occasionally.


I grew up brewing pots of tea but these days I only ever really use teabags for convenience.

I tend to like green tea the best. I don't know if I've lost the taste for black tea...

[MomoHyena]

I like all kinds of tea! When I used to go to a Buddhist temple I learned some tea ceremony stuff but gosh that tea was /bitter/ and supposed to be drank while it was scalding. My favorite teas always have lemon, though. Lemon or blueberry.

[Trixsie Vixen]

Oooh! blueberry!  Nice


I have milk (plenty of it!) and two sugars with my black tea.  No milk and one sugar with green and herbal tea.

Look at all these plebs with their tea.

Tea is beautiful

I like chamomile tea when i can't sleep a couple cups and im out for the night

[MrRazot]

I have english breakfast for breakfast and throughout the day I'll drink from a selection of royal green tea, rooibos or darjeeling
I may even blend two of them together

I usually have 1-2 cups of tea per day. But since I don't shop for myself it's usually just the Lipton tea bags from a box. Which are some kind of black tea.

[Skael]

"Russian Earl Grey" as says Lipton, but I know this little shop where they sell plenty of teas and I'd like to try the mango one... Which is Black Ceylan... But the shop is in Rennes, so... I think I'm gonna be the only one which can buy things there... In the shop in Rennes

I really enjoy drinking Green Tea or Sweet tea ^^

I just discovered blackcurrent and vanilla tea. Very nice, but a bit dry.
