TEA

korme · 07-22-2008, 04:58 PM

Do you like tea?

If no, why not???

MJ4H · 07-22-2008, 04:59 PM

why yes, yes i do

path12 · 07-22-2008, 05:01 PM

No. Because a teabag, a GODDAMN TEABAG killed my grandpa.

korme · 07-22-2008, 05:02 PM

It's a poll now MJ.

I'll admit it took me until about 20 to really enjoy some good iced tea, doused in sugar of course.

molson · 07-22-2008, 05:07 PM

I just can't drink a hot beverage, I just don't get it.

I feel I'm not really "drinking" it, I have to sip at it, be gentle, like I'm making out with the drink. No fun.

kcchief19 · 07-22-2008, 05:08 PM

Of course are you talking about iced tea or hot teas? Hot tea snobs will tell you iced tea is just cold piss. Of course, they will say it a much more snotty way. But that's the meaning.

I grew up on iced tea and still enjoy it. Sweet tea was the only tea we would drink in my youth, then in my teens I switched to Equal to go easy on the calories. Eventually I weened myself off sweetener completely. If I'm at a restaurant, I almost never add sweetener. At home, I go with Splenda probably 2/3 of the time, use real sugar if I'm out of Splenda and go unsweetend the other 1/3. I cannot live without my Iced Teapot. Greatest beverage invention ever.

As far as hot teas go, it took me until about six months ago to enjoy a cup of hot tea. Just never cared for them. A friend of mine made me a nice cup at Thanksgiving that I really enjoyed. I can't for the life of me remember what it was, but I think it had a touch of vanilla, which certainly helps.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 07-22-2008, 05:09 PM

I'm a big fan of iced green tea with honey and lemon. I'm trying to make it my substitute for soda. I just can't quit soda though....

ISiddiqui · 07-22-2008, 05:12 PM

It's ok... I'll drink on occasion

oliegirl · 07-22-2008, 05:24 PM

Iced tea is the best...1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet is my favorite, though I can drink it sweet, but never unsweet - blech.

Lathum · 07-22-2008, 05:34 PM

I like iced tea and hot tea

rjolley · 07-22-2008, 05:37 PM

Yeah, I can't drink iced tea unsweeted. Just not a good taste.

My wife says that she's never known of restaurants in New York to serve unsweet tea. I call bullshit, but I let her think they all had sweet tea there.

Also, it's interesting that, according to wikipedia, green tea was the sweet tea of choice until WWII, when they got black tea from India and that became the staple. Don't know if it's true, but it is interesting.

I grew up in NJ and never heard of Sweet Tea until I went to Gatlinburg for work when I was 23.

I'm really not a tea snob (it took me until about 21 to really enjoy tea) but there's a pretty big difference between "tea" and "iced tea (doused in sugar)."

MJ4H · 07-22-2008, 06:02 PM

I like iced tea. Never had hot tea. I like it both sweetened and unsweetened, but they are very different.

MizzouRah · 07-22-2008, 06:03 PM

I like the flavored tea's.. like raspberry!

you have never had hot tea?

MJ4H · 07-22-2008, 06:08 PM

That's what I said.

Groundhog · 07-22-2008, 06:19 PM

Prefer green tea to regular tea, and I'm a fan of iced tea on very hot days.

General Mike · 07-22-2008, 06:37 PM

love iced tea. Don't care how its made, I love it. Sweet Tea is the greatest thing ever, and needs to be brought north.

I don't drink much hot tea during the summer, but love it with a little lemon and honey on a cool day.

DaddyTorgo · 07-22-2008, 06:41 PM

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Flasch186 · 07-22-2008, 06:41 PM

DaddyTorgo · 07-22-2008, 06:43 PM

dola

i'll drink a lot of other kinds though. Green...green/herbal blends, iced green (with lemonade...MMMM)

After living in Atlanta since I was 7 and basically growing up on sweet tea, I made the mistake of ordering it at a restaurant in Chicago once. The waitress looked at me like I had a 3rd eye on my head and said, "uh, I can bring you some ice water and a tea bag, or hot tea and a glass of ice, but we don't have iced tea". I laughed and ordered a Coke, just seemed easier. Of course all they had was Pepsi but it was still better than their version of iced tea I'm sure

MikeVic · 07-22-2008, 06:58 PM

I love tea.

korme · 07-22-2008, 07:02 PM

But then once he's out of the picture, it would be ugly to get her I think.

No, it's called iced tea. Are Coke and Diet Coke the same?

It still has the word tea in it, and I don't care enough to seperate them... I said any kind of tea works, I'm already bored about talking about this.

DanGarion · 07-22-2008, 07:58 PM

I drink plain ol iced tea unsweetened. And my wife got me to enjoy hot tea like a Irishman, tea, milk, and sugar.

Logan · 07-22-2008, 07:58 PM

Drink some real tea to wake yourself up.

Oh, TEA? No.

Switch to coke Zero, same great taste, no calloric intake, no need to stop drinking soda at all.

See now here is your problem...thats not like an Irish-man, its what an Irish-woman drinks.

Irish-MEN don;t touch tea without Jamisons and/or Bailey's......

Shkspr · 07-22-2008, 10:15 PM

I still like her, even though she has all those David Duchovny germs all over her by now.

Earl Grey with some Splenda and milk is the fucking BOMB.

ISiddiqui · 07-22-2008, 10:57 PM

To extrapolate on my answer... usually always hot tea. I like black teas, but will enjoy a green or white tea from time to time.

Hardly ever drink sweet tea. Too much fucking sugar.

Never hot tea and only occassionaly iced tea, which all tastes the same to me anyways.

Telle · 07-23-2008, 06:48 AM

I recently switched from bagged tea to loose tea. The difference is absolutely amazing. I used to enjoy a cup of tea from time to time, but now I downright love it.

People mentioning iced tea I can just about cope with, but, even though iced tea is not tea, this comment is too much!

Treating Earl Grey like this is like taking a fillet steak and smothering it in ketchup - it's destroying the beauty of the taste. Sugar's OK if you prefer it like that, but with Earl Grey and other fine teas, NO MILK!
