What kind of tea do you


Like? Don't mean brands; black or green? Tea bags or loose leaf? Plain, sugar, milk, lemon, honey? I like green Gunpowder loose leaf; also in blacks, Russian Caravan, Lapsang Souchong, Dragon's Well; all loose leaf, plain. But have to have something sweet with my tea: pecan roll, sugar cookie, chocolate chip cookie, etc.!!

Re: What kind of tea do you


Mostly Rooibos tea with a drop (and I do mean drop) of full-fat milk. I prefer loose-leaf tea, but the simplicity of tea-bags is good for work etc.
Like all DM's (haven't heard of Dragon's Well, though) and Emma's flavours and would add Jasmin, Gen Maicha and a good Orange Pecoe. What I have in the cupboard here, and staples at work as well.
Love tea, really. Go through gallons (OK, usually just the one. Gallon. ) every day.

Re: What kind of tea do you


I'm a coffee person really but do drink tea occasionally. I prefer loose leaf tea to tea bags but it's just so inconvenient I do like Earl Grey tea. Haven't tried many others. I like tea strong with a dash of milk and sugar

Re: What kind of tea do you


I drink fruit teas with honey - love the smell of normal tea but can't drink it. I can't drink coffee either though.

Re: What kind of tea do you


Not a great tea drinker. We went to Sri lanka almost 10 years ago and met nice people there including the manager of a tea-packing plant. he sends us consignments or about 8lbs of fresh Ceylon tea about 3 or 4 times a year. It is lovely - very fresh and bright, if that makes sense. We have to give a lot away though!
I drink more fruit tea than Ceylon though, the berry varieties mostly, plus camomile and sometimes green tea. Love green tea post-Chinese food. Love that ceremony, with the teapot and seemingly only about 7 monster tea leaves and refilling the tiny, dolls tea-service, teacup.

Re: What kind of tea do you


I don't like ordinary tea either. Very, very rarely I will have a weak earl grey with lemon, but now I mostly drink white tea - which is a more delicate version of chinese green tea (some thing about only being the new-growth shoots . . . ) As for tea in milk - I can't even bring myself to think about it
