Interesting. Just wanted to see how many tea-drinkers we have in here.

Alex · Fri Apr 25, 2003 2:43 pm

I love tea.

zgirl · Fri Apr 25, 2003 2:49 pm

I like it both hot and cold. And I always have lots of different tea around the house.

Never liked the stuff. Liked coffee better when I drank it, but I avoid caffiene in all it's incarnations these days (except chocolate...

).

Since I live in the south this is an obvious yes. It has to be sweet, though. I can remember having training at Fort Knox, Kentucky and going to a local McDonalds and ordering a Ice-tea with my value meal. Unknown to me it wasn't sweet so I took it back and asked for sweet tea and the girl behind the counter looked at me funny and replied we only serve unsweetend tea. I guess she thought I was crazy or something. Sweet Iced tea and a moon pie.....mmmmmm. :wink:

I prefer water and what I call white gold - milk. I never could appreciate the taste of tea (or coffee). Some of the brands my coworkers drink smell pretty odd, too - making me even less willing to try them.

I drink tea, but only at Chinese restaurants.

I live in the south so I guess I'm supposed to like it, but I don't. I prefer juice, soda or milk.

PG tips, say no more.

So thats why i havent been sick in over 4 or 5 years now....

And why only drink tea or coffee... i drink em both, and i want high quality on top of that. I mean, my coffee costs what, $5.50/250G. But its really good stuff. Tea is cheaper, but you must go to the right store to get good tea, especially if you want some of a little more odd taste of green tea.

I'm from the land of the famous 'Red Bush Tea' (better known locally as Rooibos Tea), so yeah, count me in. Actually, to be honest, my housemates and I regularly have heated arguments over whose turn it is to go make tea... bloody English and their colonialistic influences.

BTW: 42, cool nick. Adams would be proud.

I'm more of a coffee drinker myself. I drink tea on occasion though.

etilena · Fri Apr 25, 2003 6:42 pm

Drink both tea and coffee. Consumed daily and in bulk. :wink:

My Mom got me into tea at a very ealy age, so Ive been a tea guy for a while, I prefer it over soda now...

My sister was an intern at Prevention magazine last year, and she started telling me all these things about being healthy and what not. Even got a subscription to the mag. I've read in 4 different issues that tea can be good for you in several different methods.

As long as you brew it yourself, you should be good, green teas and black teas are awesome for you! If you need a sweetener, use honey (the darker the better, for honey). I'm an Earl Gray man (yeah, because of Picard) myself, so support your local farmer's market and go get some fresh/organic tea.

LOL. I tried Earl Grey because of Picard. I like it, but with milk and sugar. There are different varieties of it, but I prefer the strong ones, not the ones that taste like tea flavoured water (opposed to tasting like tea, if you get me).

This is the variety I buy, although I get it from the local farmer's market. It's organic, which I like. It's plenty strong, and in the morning or when I'm sick I sweeten it with honey. During the day or in the evening, straight up.

I was Earl Grey before Picard

and I love the stuff too. Try it with a slice of lemon, wonderful, no sugar needed at that point

YBK · Sat Apr 26, 2003 4:04 am

I just had some tea in the mourning. Not always though.

pez-king · Mon Apr 28, 2003 3:03 pm
