Gloomy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Apple cinnamon tea, and green tea. Sometimes black tea. Also it must be iced. Link to post Share on other sites
SorryNotSorry Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm not into drinking tea, but once in a while I'll try blending a new color when I make a batch of stained glass teardrop earrings. My latest color is—you guessed it—tea, made by blending clear and brown glass with a trace of green. Aqua has thus far been the most difficult color to make. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm southern so Lipton tea brewed strong so you don't weaken it with melting ice and about 50% sugar. Tasty but more than two glasses and you get diabetes. Link to post Share on other sites
Mezzo Forte Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I love all kinds of teas, but because of my hypersensitivity to caffeine, I can only regularly drink teas that are 100% caffeine-free, so I generally stick to herbals. It stinks because I love green teas as well as black teas (especially amber teas like Assam), but I cannot drink them without becoming an anxious mess. (You could probably imagine that coffee is a joy too because of that. ) My go-to teas tend to be mint teas, but I also enjoy plenty of fruit teas (especially peach), chamomile teas, and rooibos teas as well.

Muledeer Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I like iced tea. Specifically, Lipton instant (powdered) tea mixed slightly weak, with no lemon or sugar. Link to post Share on other sites
Evren Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Peppermint. I used to love all kinds of black tea, however I became "allergic" (it makes me very sick) to caffeine and can no longer have black tea. Link to post Share on other sites

Tunhope Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 English breakfast tea with semi skimmed milk and sugar. Has to be loose leaf. Not teabags. Not just for breakfast. Any time of day.! Link to post Share on other sites

Celyn: The Lutening Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Either just bog standard Yorkshire tea or PG tips, Twinings Earl Grey, or T2 Melbourne Breakfast. Link to post Share on other sites
LlamaLlord Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The earl grey/ Irish breakfast mix sounds yum. I'll have to get some Irish breakfast and try it out. I loooooove t2's Russian caravan (so much smokey goodness). I generally have earl grey (twinings, but sometimes french earl grey), roobois, oolong and/or jasmine tea from the local Asian grocery, and a rotating assortment of flavoured black teas (and the moment choc-mint, blackberry, and one with lemongrass and rosemary and a bunch of other things I can't remember). I don't go for herbal teas much, but I do like Turkish apple Link to post Share on other sites
kiaroskuro Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I like actual tea, made out of tea plant leaves, like black tea, green tea, oolong etc. Some herbal teas - or mixtures - are nice, like rooibos or liquorice root "teas", but I usually don't like tisanes. Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Thankfully the weather here has been cool enough that I have been able to enjoy the new teas I recently bought (yesterday I had Earl Grey Supreme and today I had Hot Cinnamon Spice). Link to post Share on other sites
Captain_Tass Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 UPDATE: Found a wonderful brand of tea here and bought their apple tea, which was exactly like the one I had in Istanbul and some rooibos. I'm drinking it right now and I've gotta say that I really like it! Link to post Share on other sites

Celestial_Strawberry Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I really enjoy mint tea! That's the only one that I've enjoyed so far, but I'm on the look out for another kind that I like. I might like chamomile if I tried it. I'm open to trying pretty much any kind. Link to post Share on other sites

MoonDancer Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I love Kenyan black tea because I went to Kenya when I was in college. I actually toured a tea plantation there, so this kind of tea is special to me. I like it plain, sometimes I will add some milk, but sweet tea makes me gag, so I don't drink it like they do in Kenya. I also like Japanese green teas, Kenyan green teas, Taiwanese oolong tea. I recently got a nice ginger puerh that I like. I also go for some flavored teas like raspberry sencha, and chocolate black tea. For the last couple of years I've been looking around online (mostly YouTube) to see how people make tea around the world, and trying it myself. People in Africa and Asia post a lot of stuff about how they make their tea, but Europe doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites
aisofhearts Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Peppermint, Honey chamomile, or black tea with some milk, honey, and butter cookies. It's lovely. Link to post Share on other sites
AceMissBehaving Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I am a fickle heart when it comes to tea, but my current favorite is silver needle white tea Link to post Share on other sites
- Saph - Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I love white tea too or the second infusion of green tea. When I want something spicy, I have tulsi with ginger or lemon. I often drink infusions as I need to reduce my cafeine consumption. Link to post Share on other sites
AwkwardAxolotl Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I may or may not have had to build an extra shelf in the kitchen to house all of my teas, but that doesn't mean I have a problem. My current favorites are chai, lemon ginger, rooibos, and a mint tea with a little bit of tarragon. Link to post Share on other sites
