I didn't want to just barge into the How do you like your Coffee? thread with tea, so I figured I'd make one for the tea-maniacs among us.

The majority of drink I tea is black tea with milk. Any black tea will do, I'm not so much of a snob as to frown upon teabags, although I can tell when it's the cheapest tea out there. But I'm slowly over the years getting into kinds and blends other than the classics, like earl grey. There's a really good tearoom in Prague, and I love visiting it and trying out different teas of of the stunning selection of 100s they have. In fact, Czechia is kind of the tearoom capital of Europe, I feel like.

How do you like your Tea?

From a jug labeled "stress tea"

It's a type that AriZona™ sells but it's not often in stock; it's just a generic type of tea that supposedly helps with relaxing.

It's easier to list the ways I've had it (or rather, the varieties I've tried) that I didn't like. As for how I like it best, for black tea I usually make it by the gallon, and with a cup of sugar. For any other kind, with a tablespoon of honey. Not super complicated. I do like mint and I have some bags of it to make into tea...

Having lived in the southern US my entire life, I'm very much a fan of sweet tea (essentially black tea but a fair amount of sugar added)

I do wanna try more teas and such though (and give unsweetened black tea another chance)

As someone of the same upbringing (though I now live out west), I'd say green tea is a good place to start. Or if you already tried it, maybe chamomile, earl grey, or something with a fruit or berry you like. I wouldn't advise going to matcha with turmeric, at least not to start with.

darkwitchclaire post 1520

my favorite is black tea with a bit of sugar and milk, or the processed kind of iced tea
