What kind of tea do you like and what do you put in it?
I like English breakfast tea and I put in 1 tsp sugar and some milk.
Or I drink Chinese black tea with nothing in it.

I like black chai. The Oprah chai is amazing but I always make it with a plain black because it doesn't have enough caffeine.

Years ago I was totally into many many types of loose tea, my favorite was always black currant. Nothing in it. Any fruit teas.
i got away from that over time, but last Christmas got the Davids Tea advent for a early gift. Both my daughter and I got into teas. I still prefer fruit teas.

I like black tea but will drink green or white on occasion. I like cold tea without anything (no sugar or lemon). I like hot tea with a little bit of sugar, no milk.
I used to be a regular tea drinker but now I drink water instead. I still enjoy tea very much when I do have it!

Decaffeinated English Breakfast with a teaspoon a sugar and a splash of milk. I don't really like any other kind. I've tried, but always come back to this.

Weekend mornings Tetley British Blend decaffeinated with monk fruit and cream/milk, afternoons I mix it up with TJ Mango Black tea, TJ Duchess Grey tea (reminds me of fruit loops) Bigelow Cozy Chamomile or Green tea all with a bit of monk fruit or sugar.

Where I grew up, Orange Pecoe was queen and you were either staunchly Red Rose and considered Tetley to be akin to drinking piss or vice versa.
So, FTR, Orange Pecoe, Red Rose but, honestly, I'm a coffee drinker (don't tell me mum!)

I drink P.G. Tips regular and decaf hot tea with a bit of milk or half and half. In the summer I like unsweetened black or green iced tea with tons of ice.

Sadly I've had to pretty much eliminate caffeine, so I rarely drink my favorite tea, Harney & Sons Orange Pekoe tea.
I mostly drink herbal teas now and I have a large stash of those. My current favorite herbal tea is a Paromi tea called "Sleep with Me".

I'm not a very loyal tea drinker. When I buy a big box of tea bags, it's usually PGTips or Yorkshire - never Red Rose, lol
I like Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Vanilla Chai, Lipton White teas (the various fruit flavours), some fruit 'herbal' teas (although in general I don't prefer herbal tea)... I usually add one sugar cube and sometimes a wee splash of skim milk
We have a big tea stash here...DH and my teen like herbal teas, the little one likes peppermint tea and decaf black tea (with lots of milk and 2 sugar cubes)

I drink mostly Lady Grey with stevia,or Earl Grey when I am out. However, I love tea, as does all my family, and have a custom tea drawer in my kitchen filled with all kinds of tea.

I'm trying to learn to like tea. I have had to give up coffee. I bought a mango tea at Teavana and it's not bad. However, I need to find decaff teas. I like sweetness and tea has always seemed a bit bitter to me.

I like black teas with nothing added. My current favorite is Bigelow's Darjeeling with a couple packages of sweetener.

I like herbal fruit teas with a bit of sugar. I don't drink them much though. We have a small stash of loose herbal tea here that has lasted quite a while. I got it for my middle girl but I drink it once in awhile too. I had a lovely tea party with my sisters a few months ago with it. It was fun to fill up the little tea pot and let it steep.  |

During the past year, I've eliminated all caffeine (and, yes, that includes chocolate  !). For my morning beverage, I now drink Celestial Seasonings rooibos tea, which is an herbal tea from South Africa. I add sweetener and lots of milk. Since it has no caffeine, it doesn't really wake me up, but it seems comforting psychologically to simulate my former morning drink. If I have tea in the afternoon, I like Celestial Seasonings honey vanilla chamomile, with or without milk. |

Two bags of Twining's English Breakfast with 2 sugar cubes in a big mug. It's gotta be the cubes.

I prefer plain old Liptons black tea or sometimes Earl Grey or English Breakfast. I like my tea VERY strong with no sugar and only a small splash of milk.
If we're talking green or herbal teas, my favorite is Moroccan Mint or Lemon Myrtle.

Lady Grey (and I can't drink anything with added flowers. Fruit is okay sometimes, but not flowers).

Strong black tea with a small splash of fresh milk so it's the colour of a bad fake tan. If people make me tea, they almost always put too much milk in it. I am very fussy about the amount of milk and try to grab the milk jug off them so I can add the milk myself.

If I am sick I drink decaffinated Earl Grey. I hate Earl Grey tea. I absolutely HATE it. That said, if I am sick it works better than oxycontin for pain and feeling sick. It makes any aches I have vanish and I remember having it when I was expecting and it took away every single ache and pain I had when I was sick I will never forget it. We keep it in the house in case someone gets sick.
I do drink Tetley decaf. I make a big 3L jug of iced tea and drink that. It tastes good.
I am a coffee person, though. I love my coffee. A LOT!

I love Republic of Tea's Mango Ceylon (3 bags) mixed with Lipton (2 family-size bags) in a pitcher of iced tea. I really think if you cut me, I'd bleed iced tea.  |
