How do you have your tea?

[AnimaLeo]

Earl Grey, with a dash of milk. I love strong tea, but can't stand tea with no milk. Also, I enjoy making loose leaf tea, but rarely have it.

 

[MasterHowl]

Don't mind as long as it's Yorkshire tea

 

[steve2112]

The only acceptable way to drink tea is Southern Sweet Tea.

Yep. Or a Long Island Iced Tea.

 

[LostSoul80]

No milk for me, just some lemon and sugar makes it perfect.

 

[rhett7660]

I have been on an Iced Chai Tea Latta kick so I that is what I have been drinking a lot of lately. Either homemade, Starbucks or Panera Bread.

 

[gramirez2012]

Plain.

 

[cambookpro]

PG Tips (I'm such a pleb) with milk and one or two sugars depending on my mood.

 

[pivo6]

Loose leaf, mainly Darjeeling, and a bit of sugar.

Plain or sometimes with honey.

 

[NutsNGum]

Firstly, excellent thread.

Secondly, it's PG Tips for me, plus 1 seconds-pouring worth of milk.

Monkeh!

 

[wordoflife]

I never use tea bags anymore ... only loose leaf.

 

[Melrose]

Milk and sugar. Not too sweet and just enough milk to take the nip of tannic out.

 

[KnightWRX]

Soooo many sugar sinners.

Black tea - hot with a little milk.
Green tea - hot.

 

[Demosthenes X]

I mostly drink Green and Peppermint, and either one with nothing in it.

Occasionally Earl Gray or Orange Pekoe, in which case milk and sugar.

iced..............

Is anyone hardcore enough to drink Yerba Mate?

Pretty potent stuff, but damn delicious. Gives you all the caffeine kick from coffee with many times more the antioxidants. It simply must be the reason people in Uruguay (who drink this stuff religiously) have a life expectancy of around 80, when they primarily eat meat, breads and sugary foods (and replace water for coke).

 

[Abstract]

Simple, I fill my mouth with tea leaves and pour hot water into my mouth.

 

[lewis82]

I don't.

But neither do I drink coffee I'm a milk type of guy.

 

[Hastings101]

Plain, I never add anything to it. I do like it cold though, hot tea is gross.

 

[garybUK]

PG tips .... in a tea pot .... brewed for 5 minutes, then milk (not too much).

I always take a box to Germany with me, don't know what's up with Lipton's, never had it in England before and it tastes of urine.

 

[jeremy h]

Lipton's is a British brand I think... (I can vaguely remember shopping in a Liptons supermaket as a kid) but as a standard tea (not a special lemon type etc), I've only ever encountered it abroad. (Pehaps it a cheap export only thing and they use the sweeping's up from the floor in the teabag factory toilets?)

 

[Ritzenhoff]

teatime

black tea (9 dragon from teavana is my current favorite). 1 tsp per 8 ounces.. let steep 3 minutes

Is anyone hardcore enough to drink Yerba Mate?

I love Yerba Mate... It also blends well with other stuff to make some nice drinks.

 

[roadbloc]

Sugar ruins tea. The real tea drinkers just have milk. And none of these daft herbal teas either. Just normal tea.

 

[iBlue]

Twinings Everyday. I take it with a spoonful of sugar and plenty of milk. Proper British teas are STRONG and quite repulsive without milk. I like sweet Chai tea as well.


I prefer coffee.
