I've always been a coffee girl with the occasional cup of hot tea later in the day, and I get unsweetened iced tea at restaurants.
That all changed when my DD gave me a DAVIDs Tea subscription for Christmas. Holy moly, what a rabbit hole I fell into! I had no idea there were so many kind of tea (and some aren't even teas, they're tisanes) and so many ways to drink them. There's a subscription FB group where I've been introduced to tea lattes, tea pop, cold brew, matcha, re-steeping ... a whole new world!
Since many of the teas I've gotten from DAVIDs have no caffeine, I'm drinking WAY more than I ever did, both hot and iced, all day long.

Ooops, I answered the poll before I read that we weren't discussing iced tea. Sorry! I'm not a hot drink fan at all, and I thought I was odd for that, but I see that I'm in good company. I drink copious amounts of unsweetened iced tea all day every day. My favorite is black tea brewed together with Republic of Tea's Mango Ceylon. I use a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker and I love it. BTW, for those who love Starbucks' iced teas, they all come unsweetened as of March 1 (at least in the U.S.). I no longer have to order mine with "no water, no liquid cane." Oh, and I'm replacing the water with a splash of their passion tea. YUM!

I have been drinking hot tea since I was a young child.
I drink on average 5-7 cups a day. The amount fluctuates(sometimes less, sometimes more) depending on whether I am home all day, or not. I use a new tea bag each time. I currently use Tetley British Blend. I do not care for flavored teas. I drink my tea with milk and sugar. No other beverage is allowed in my tea mug. My hot chocolate has it's own mug.
I never ever drink hot tea at a restaurant or in the home of coffee drinkers. The only exception would be having a cup of tea at designated tea shop. Most cups/mugs that have been previously filled with coffee and then used for tea, the flavor and taste of the tea is changed/altered.

It's all I drink. Hot tea when it's cold and iced tea when it's hot. I only drink hot green tea with lemon and cold iced lemon tea.

Iced tea isn’t a thing in the UK. If you asked for tea in a restaurant, you would receive hot black tea. My parents have the kettle boiling for hot tea all day long. I only like chai latte or powdered Japanese Royal Milk Tea. I drink a mug with breakfast with my collagen powder mixed in. And another cup in the evening. So max, two cups a day as it is very sweet.
