Tea survey!

[Metalhead]

Just sipping some iced unsweetened green tea currently.

How do you like your tea?

In certain areas, I involuntarily dislike when people have different opinions/tastes than me. I won't feel anything negative if you disagree with me on abortion or the death penalty, but it bothers me when people like iced tea.

Ice T is OG, Original Gangsta, now a cop on TV.

Oh, you were talking about the drink. Sorry about that, then.

How do you like your tea?

Ear Grey, Roibush, Black Tea, Green Tea.
No sugar and no milk

 

[Rodafina]

spicy chai tea – definitely hot.

@Metalhead, why no chai option in the poll? I’m tired of being in the “other” category!
( just kidding around)

 

[SusanLR]

Earl Grey-hot.

Otherwise, I enjoy a bottle of iced green, black or white tea with lunch every day.
Black unsweetened. Add my own amount of stevia to the white and green.

You get ideas for the coolest polls!

 

[AGXStarseed]

Hot tea with milk and sugar.

 

[Leo Zed]

Earl Grey
Chai
Ginger
Chamomile
...with a little sugar

 

[Saphira]

I like mine hot. Whitish with just one small sugar. But it has to be decaf as I will bounce off the walls and ceiling.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

In the evening when I want to relax I make myself a mug of Lapsang Souchong with a little lemon and sugar.

Tea was a true special interest of mine for a number of years. Specifically Pu'erh teas from the Yunnan Province of China. In true "special interest" fashion, I had books on Pu'erh, maps of the Yunnan Province and the most famous six mountains in the Province where the most noted Pu'erh is produced, etc. Try to talk about those kinds of details to people about something they've never even heard of...Asperger, much?

Pu'erh tea is one of the only teas I'm aware of that gets better with age. Compressed Pu'erh tea rounds aka Bing from many decades ago can go for upwards of $100,000 and old properly aged/fermented Pu'erh teas are collected like fine wines. People who are really into it can have humidors strictly for their Pu'erh teas. It's also one of the only teas I'm aware of where multiple infusions of the same serving of tea leaves are part of the process. It's common to infuse the same portion of tea leaves up to ten times during a tea session. I stopped collecting this kind of tea years ago but still have a good number of rounds stored away.

Presently I just brew a good cup of organic black tea, usually Assam and always with a spot of milk. I do this twice per day. Once around 2pm and again around 8pm.

I would drink tea more often but I have to limit my caffeine intake to those two cups of tea and one strong cup of morning black coffee (I roast my own organic coffee beans). I had been drinking the equivalent of up to 20 cups of green tea per day but actually had palpitations from that.

I like all different kinds of teas. I used to drink Lapsang Souchong because I liked the smoky flavor just as I like peated single malt Scotch, but I read that Lapsang Souchong may not be good for a person if consumed regularly.

I like every kind of tea. Earl Grey is my favorite, though. Probably because I was drinking it since early childhood.

Also, I can't stand sweetened hot drinks - for me sugar removes a layer of taste.

 

[AprilR]

I like every type of tea but unsweetened

 

[Isadoorian]

I typically drink Jasmine or English Breakfast/Orange Pekoe (Black Tea) with cream/milk & sugar

 

[Shaddock]

black, green and white tea (teabags from supermarket (cheap)). because of the caffeine.

theoretically I also like herbal or fruit tea, but usually not drink it.

I don´t drink hot tea or coffee. I hate it when my food or drinks are hot, I would burn my tongue on it. I always wait until it is cold(er) and then drink it. or I try to make it with lower temperature. theoretically you can make tea with cold water, but it needs more time then in warm/hot water.

I love hot tea. I enjoy tea time almost every afternoon and strongly miss it if I don't get it. I like many kinds of tea but I drink English Breakfast and Earl Grey the most. Cold tea can be nice too.
