Any Tea Drinkers? If so what is your favorite?

[Eloquence 2,076]

I own a mortar and pestle and I grind my own leaves, which I also grow myself.

 

It varies based on my mood, but I typically enjoy an oolong tea, mixed with a hint of lemon juice and chamomile, which I also grow.

 

It might take about thirty minutes of prep, then another thirty for brewing, but is it worth it.

 

We've been outclassed by the tea master 

 

(Jokes aside though, that's very cool. I would love to grow my own tea leaves someday, maybe in the next place I move to)

Me! I prefer hot tea to iced tea, but I'm not picky about it. I have recently discovered orange and cinnamon tea, and it is mostly all the tea I've drunk in a while. After I bring the water to a boil, I let it steep for 7 minutes, add sugar then milk, and enjoy it in a Doctor Who mug to have it made to perfection.

I'm a new tea drinker and I love it! So far Chai teas are my favourite, but I haven't even scratched the surface in the different kinds to try. :3

[BritishBrony2012 816]

Do drink tea, I like English tea.

[DJW 142]

Pints of tea. Quite literally.

 

If I'm not drinking beer then it's tea. No sugar, nearly stewed, lots of milk, 'spoon standing up' builders tea.

I like most teas I used to drink a lot of green tea but I haven't so much lately for some reason, I should start again as it seemed to help my acne.

 

I also like chamomile tea, helps me sleep

aaaa..tea x3

What is the best you can do when you welcome a dear friend in your house, in a rainy day 

Give him a cup of tea

What can you do when you stay all night looking at cartoons and movies all by yourself

Give yourself a cup of tea

And what is the best thing to do when you feel down and need to talk, but you don`t find anyone just ...a good dam song

Well in that case you go and... refill your cup of tea because you know it`s gonna be a long day and a very long night

I like green tea, someday I would like to try Matcha.

[IronM17 5,384]

I drink fruit tea, but I don't have a favorite tea. Sometimes, I also drink black tea. I really like tea, it is my favorite hot beverage.

[Kiri 7,289]

Oh my goodness, I LOVE vanilla chai! Hot or cold, doesn't matter to me. I also adore chamomile, lavender, and citrus tea.

[Spanish In Physician 295]

I do enjoy tea here and there. My favorite would definitely have to be peppermint tea. *nods* Its really good. ^^

[Stormlight 1,371]

One of my favorite drinks are tea My favorite type is the original green tea, and what I love to drink is black milk tea.

[Leave a Whisper 703]

I just enjoyed a hot cup of Sleepytime tea.

[Archangel 143]

Oh man! Tea! I have found my people! My friend and I recently got heavily into tea over a year ago. We have an entire bookshelf filled with various teas and tea pots. We've spent way too much on the stuff. We don't cheap out.

 

We get the really good whole leaf stuff, not the dust you see in teabags. There really is a huge difference in the quality. My favorite tea would have to be Earl Grey Lavender from Adagio Teas. It's basically a high quality version of Lady Grey tea, but with lavender petals added. Delicious!

Although I've recently taken a liking to Pu Erh teas, such as one Pu Erh we have with dried orange peels and bits of chocolate mixed in. Or Jasmine Pheonix Pearls! Little ball of jasmine and green tea leaves. Or Passionfruit black tea mixed with some dried cherries! Or some a white tea called Vintage Silver tips.

 

Nothing like a good cup of tea any time of the day! In fact, here's a little poem I stumbled across a while back about tea: 

 

"The first cup kisses away my thirst,

and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island."

-7 Cups of Tea, by Lu Tong (795 - 835 CE)

 

 

All this talk about tea has me thirsty... Now, which blend should I have? I haven't had that Twilight Sparkle blend in a while... But I do like that Octavia blend too...

[TeeSix 116]

Please don't execute me on the spot, but I'm British and am totally apathetic to tea 

 

I've just never really gotten into it myself. I don't know where to start with actually trying it; same issue with coffee for me actually, now I think about it.

[Hovershy 3,814]

I'm a big fan of green tea myself, hot or iced.  :comeatus:

[DuskRain 193]

Iced Tea is my life fuel. I drink it daily, and any flavor will do. I also enjoy warm/hot tea occasionally when I have time. Tea is my favorite consumable substance ever.

[Lost 1,410]

Well, being English means that its kinda mandatory for me to drink tea.

I prefer coffee though

[Celestial Sloth 369]

Uh... PG Tips?

 

Is anyone one of those heathens who put the milk in before the water? Tell me so I can scorn you. :<

[City Bread 44]

You can't have tea without some yummy caramel biscuits. 

[Concerned Bystander 2,902]

Tetley is pretty much the king of teas.

[Xylosian 140]

If coffee isn't available then Twininngs English Breakfast Tea is the way to go. Add a little milk add a little sugar and you have yourself some sweet ass tea.

[IcyHaze 594]

I'm Irish. That should be all I need to say.

 

Ireland's tea consumption per capita is higher than even the UK. Everyone has a cuppa tea here. You go to someone's house?  Cuppa tea. Wake up in the morning? Cuppa tea. Lunch? Cuppa tea. Coffee is also very popular, and is more often drank in cafés and whatnot, but tea is by far the dominant home beverage. Just plain old black tea.

 

I personally like a strong taste, with sugar and milk.

[Invincible 2,091]

I prefer white tea or earl gray to most other kinds.

[Red Cedar 1,408]

Strong black tea is my favourite. English breakfast is usually good for being richly favoured so it tends to be my go-to blend of the common types of tea. I also much prefer it loose than in bags so I can make it good and potent.
