Word. Save the milk for PG Tips.

Dola - surprised that Marc Vaughan hasn't posted yet.

Since I stopped drinking caffeine 6-7 months ago, I've been drinking tea at work on occasion, probably 2-3 times a weeks. I'll only drink English or Irish Breakfast teas though, since I dislike that thin green tea-ish crap. I also like to put a little cream and sugar in the tea.

Since my tolerance for caffeine is so low now, just the miniscule amount of caffeine in the tea is enough to give me a little buz, but not make me crash afterwards.

About the only thing I drink is sweet tea. All the time.

st.cronin · 07-23-2008, 11:38 AM

I love my country, therefore I drink coffee.

My wife got me hooked on Arizona Ice Tea, the decaf version. My doctor says it is good for me too, so I keep drinking it.

I prefer herbal tea with 1 packet of Splenda but I'm trying to ween myself to none at all. Loose tea is much more flavorful and if I can get my hands on some, I'd prefer those, but yeah, no caffeinated tea for me either.

DrAFTjunkie · 07-24-2008, 11:17 PM

I actually used to manage a tea shop on Newberry St. here in Boston for a while, and while I'm not a fanatic, I'm a bit of a snob. Dragon Pearl Jasmine is my fav. The taste/aroma is heaven. Also a fan of Ti Guan Yin, which is hand-picked by trained monkies. Both teas (especially the Ti Guan) are very, very good for you. Rooibos bush tea is herbal, but also very good for you.

I could go on forever about tea, but I won't. I have a game to plan for.

Glengoyne · 07-25-2008, 10:04 PM

I'm a fan of both hot and Iced Tea. It has to be Black Tea, not Green.

My favorite is Darjeeling...whole leaf SFTGOP..I think that is the grade. I'm a Tea snob of sorts I guess. If you have a nice cup of Darjeeling tea, I'm convinced you'd taste the difference. There simply isn't a doubt.

For Iced Tea, there are some Assam and other Indonesian teas. In a dramatically non-snobby move, I'll add that there are some flavored teas...Cranberry comes to mind, that are fantastic cold. Cranberry is a bit syrupy if prepared hot...In the dead of winter I'll also break open some Orange cinnamon tea.

In the interest of complete disclosure, the revelation that Billy Bob Thornton has been nailing her is enough to make me change my answer here.

I'm addicted to Chai right now.

terpkristin · 10-27-2008, 08:19 PM

I have one cup of coffee a day (18 oz tumbler), then I switch to hot tea. I am actually trying to drink less soda.

I like a wide variety of types, and am always looking for new suggestions. One I'd like to try is White Ginger Tea
Right now I'm drinking a pear white tea from Teavana. I typically don't sweeten it, but if I overbrew it, I find that a little honey helps.

Ice tea. i drink it more than anything

lordscarlet · 10-27-2008, 10:07 PM

MMmmmmmm. Hot tea season has returned. I just finished my evening two cups.

JediKooter · 10-28-2008, 01:25 PM

Sweet iced tea.

Bigsmooth · 10-28-2008, 03:12 PM

Yes, please.

Marc Vaughan · 10-28-2008, 11:07 PM

Love English tea ... preferably a bog standard cuppa like Tetleys, but at a push I'll have something posh like Earl Grey if thats the only thing available.

(on the American front I've also acquired a taste for Sweet Iced Tea since moving over here - I've found that American tea is great cold and English great hot .... don't try and do use them the other way around though imho)
