Any Tea Drinkers?
I enjoy a cup of tea, especially after work. I just had a "Blue Mountain" black tea and I think I'm about to make myself another. I also drink English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, chai, and occasionally venture into green tea. Any other tea drinkers here?

I like straight black tea or green tea. I also enjoy Earl Grey once in a while. I use my 8 cup percolator with 4 bags of my desired tea ... I like it STRONG.
I recently got into kombucha which I make using 60% black tea and 40% green tea flavored with pomegranate and raspberry or sometimes peach. Kombucha takes a bit of getting used to since it has a vinegary sour to it, but I crave it now. http://www.getkombucha.com/kombucha-cultures.html

I have a cup of Bigelow or Stash green tea every morning. Tea snobs will scoff but I find it tasty and a good morning pickmeup. Later in the AM I'll switch to coffee.

Earl Grey #1. I only drink it in my departed dad's cup when I've had a bad day. My one ritual.

I don't drink coffee at all, I have a soft spot for a strong Earl Gray and some Green Tea with lunch and /or dinner.

I like Oo long with a dash of jasmine. A Korean Zen master I used to study with would serve up the expensive variety called King's Tea -- Oo long that had been cured in Ginseng -- damn it was heady.
Lately I've gone back to coffee for the most part, but tea is a good way for me to chill out from it. More economical too.

I don't much care for hot tea, but I love iced tea in the summertime. We discovered Bushells tea from Australia a few years back. That stuff makes outstanding iced tea.

When I run out of coffee, I have Celestial Seasons "Morning Thunder".
I've also been known to drink Peppermint, Black, Mate, and Earl Grey.

While in India I live near Darjeeling where they produce the best tea on earth, one of the most treasured tea is from the house of Makaibari there and you can order it from http://www.makaibari.com/ and I also order some fantastic blend from www.sbpl.com Try out their speciality blend which even though pricey is heavenly.

I mostly drink iced tea. I'm a Southerner, so it's SWEET iced tea for me. You just can't get sugar to go into solution in a glass of iced tea. As far as the KIND I like, I'm not too picky. I think it's usually Orange Pekoe, but I don't pay much attention to that.

I LOVE a good Long Island Iced Tea but somehow I can't stand the taste of tea, any sort of tea including Iced Tea. Not sure why. I have been exposed to many a cup of tea and take it out of courtesy but I have never found a tea that I like. Coffee is great. Jamaican Blue Mountain is my favorite.

I like different flavors. Had a nice white organic, and am now drinking a pretty nasty Twinings Cherry Revive. Too much cherry even for me.
