In the last couple of months this tea has grown on me and I’ve reordered it. It’s one of several teas I’ll be continuing to drink.

Ah cool, glad you like it. Supposedly has health benefits, too.
I've only started drinking tea within the past year. Mostly green tea, but some black. I don't add anything to it, though. I'm a purist
My primary motivation that caused me to switch from coffee to tea was the pursuit of eliminating caffeine from my diet, hence I chose herbal teas which arguably taste just as good, if not better (depending on personal preference) than tradional tea (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_sinensis). However, I admit on some occasions I wish I could get the boost that caffeine offers.I've only started drinking tea within the past year. Mostly green tea, but some black.

Fixed the wording in my post. Caffeine does not give you a boost? It certainly did for me.
Until recently I drank tea (always black and unsweetened) in the morning, and I still do. Coffee (often black, but sometimes milky and sweetened, including mocha and other variations) was for later in the day.
After having a couple of teeth extracted I was well out of sorts for several weeks. I went off the coffee, and Earl Grey tea became my preferred afternoon beverage, and has remained so.
I was very wary of that when I first came across it. Tried it, and was surprised to find it was not bad at all.

Does anyone else care about the microplastics in teabags here?
I don't actually drink tea myself, but my wife's on a bender trying to move away from them.
Apparently a lot of brands use micro plastic beads to seal their teabags. Trying to get answers as to which tea bags from which brands - not easy.

Why white tea in particular?
How do you find it? And how do you take it?
I've just realized I drink more tea in the couple months after Daylight Saving Time begins in March than I do any other time of year. I must have learned somehow that more coffee is not the answer to waking me up sooner as I struggle to just get back to waking with the earlier light and being able to forget about that lost hour of sleep we just got handed this morning... and the different sort of caffeine in tea is not as jarring.
Not a big fan of herbal teas, with the occasional exception, and then I don't add anything to the brewed cup. I put a splash of milk in my brewed black tea (I like either English or Irish breakfast teas) and take green tea just as it's brewed.

I usually drink my tea with a nice splash of milk unless it is some high quality loose leaf stuff. But believe me, I had even drunk senchas and milk oolongs (!) with milk. If this was tea forum I would have been probably banned for it😂
First I give it some time to brew and only then pour milk, not vice versa.
Recently discovered rooibos and now it is my favorite tea, I literally replaced black tea with it. Much more flavorful, light and pairs perfectly with milk. Adding some honey and/or vanilla makes it a perfect drink.
Btw I am fan of other refreshing drinks and homemade sodas. I grow mint in my garden, probably 7 or 8 different varieties, so I often make mojitos. Mostly I just mix lime slice and juice with some sparkling water, ice cubes and honey and drink it, tastes better than any soda from supermarket, minus the unneeded chemicals.
P.S. we need to revive this thread, Espresso Enthusiasts shows almost daily activity.

Being British I would never make tea that way.
Boil the kettle. Teabag in mug. Stir the teabag until desired strength is reached.
Add milk.
Repeat around 6 times a day. Cut down a lot since this thread began.
I recently bought a matcha kit, so I've been having a lot of matcha lately.
Other than that, I often have oolong tea in the morning. I don't add any milk or sugar to it.

Exactly.
I could not - not ever, - ever imagine preparing tea (or coffee, for that matter) in a microwave.
Occasionally, whenever I prepare coffee in my moka pot, the pot will go on the stove, and that is where (and how) the water is heated; otherwise, for both tea and coffee, as @Apple fanboy has already pointed out, a kettle will be summoned into action.
Re tea, I tend to prepare it in one of two ways:
Sometimes, it is the classic - the traditional British (or Irish) - way, much as @Apple fanboy has already described: Kettle, teabag, mug, milk.
I don't take sugar in either tea of coffee, with the sole exception (occasionally) in a double espresso.
Very rarely, - as an occasional treat - I will prepare tea in a pot, and have been known to buy good quality tea leaves.
The other way I prepare tea is black, served with slices (several) of lemon: Thus, this is achieved by using a kettle, a teabag, my mug, and several slices of lemon.
