I'm enjoy a hot cup of tea on this winter afternoon.

Any fellow tea drinkers?

Iced tea only. Never had hot tea, except for a spiced hot tea once during the holidays.

I usually only drink hot tea at work, after I have had my morning coffee. Everyone knows that if they decide they want tea, that my stash of 8 or nine different types/flavors, is always open too them. Around the house, it is usually only ice tea, 365 days a year.

Not unless theres some cookies involved.

Love the Red Rose with a little milk and honey!
Also Constant Comment, prefer tea when I am hunting to coffee.

Dig the chai tea, momma makes some perty good stuff...

Coffee black. (No cigarettes)

But tea needs milk and sugar.

This morning i had a craving for peanut butter and grape jelly on toast dunked in tea.
Now that's eatin'.😉

I drink several cups of tea a day. Not interested in herbal teas, just give me a regular cup of tea, thanks.
I could give up coffee entirely quite easily but tea would be tougher!

Ground loosens up a bit around here, it'll be just about prime time to yank up a batch of sassafras. That's my favorite poison when it comes to tea.

Two or three cups of coffee in the morning, water while I work, afternoon starts coming around I drink about three or four cups of tea. Anything with valerian root or skullcap, or just black tea. Couple of beers in the evenings then lights out.

Usually drink iced tea for breakfast. Drank Irish breakfast tea for a while but I have to be pretty cold in order to enjoy a hot beverage

Twinning's breakfast K cups.

My favorite is Irish Breakfast Tea.

I have several cups a day.

I probably have 15 to 20 different teas in the cupboard and drink them as the mood hits me but I tend to stick with the Irish Breakfast Tea.

I occasionally have a cup or two of roasted dandelion root tea. It's good stuff.

Red Rose Orange Pekoe, Red Rose Canadian Breakfast, Twinings Earl Grey and Twinings Gunpowder Green Tea.

I drink ice tea year around. 2 blacks and 1 green in a gal jug. Rarely drink hot tea.

Every day of my life. I love the smell and taste of coffee, but it sadly doesn't like me.

I buy loose leaf and make my own blend. Milk and a sugar cube.

As far as bagged tea, I was raised on Red Rose but, oddly, have acquired a taste for Nescafe after trying it at a Best Western. It's better than Red Rose or Lipton IMHO. Give a try if you can find it.

I drink a lot of Southern style sweet tea. If I make hot tea, it’s Lapsang Souchong from Chine. It’s a smoky flavored black tea. I love it

Green tea with honey. Hot or cold.

I was turned onto tea when I lived in Northern BC. I usually have 6-8 cups per week. Sometimes more.

I like green tea, matcha, flavored teas like Earl Grey and Constant Comet. I also enjoy just plain old black teas.

Sometime I make homemade cinnamon tea and add star anise to it.

I also enjoy herbal teas. In the summer I truly enjoy homemade iced hibiscus tea.

I also enjoy a nice hot "cuppa." I like black, green, white, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Lapsang Souchong, jasmine, English and Irish breakfast, but don't enjoy chai. I drink them unaltered most of the time, but do enjoy a touch of honey and lemon, I find that honey tea seems to warm me up better than coffee when I'm out in the winter.

One of the finer bits of civilized life is the afternoon tea, with a selection of pastries and finger sandwiches. (No, I'm not going metrosexual.) One of the better English ideas.

Iced tea (unsweetened) is a summer drink. Hot tea is for winter. In fact, I'm about to go pour one right now. Green today, I think.

Russian black (caravan) tea for me! Enjoying a nice hot cup as I write.

Somewhere I had a piece of chinese brick tea I used to carry in my haversack for refreshment.

Lapsang Souchong!
Good stuff!!!!

I still don't understand the business of leaving the bag in the cup while drinking it so that the tea gets stronger and stronger as the volume of liquid decreases.

I pull the bag, and use it once more.

Assumed a London afternoon tea was going to be a big ripoff. Turned out being one of the nicest parts of the visit. We were there almost 3 hours. Delightful.

'Nother Lapsang Souchoug fan here!

I drink a 16 oz. mug of it "black" every morning.

I like strong tea. Going to have to try the Russian and Irish teas.

I've never been a big fan of Tea (iced or hot) but with this ongoing stomach problem I've been suffering my morning cup of coffee has really been causing turmoil in my gut so after seeing this thread I picked up a box of Red Rose Original yesterday. I'm finishing up my first cup right now and to my surprise it tastes pretty dam good and seems to be getting along with the stomach pretty well.

I won't be running out and picking up a Tea Set or shopping for Crumpets anytime soon (even though I do have a British last name) but so far so good.

I also picked up a a box of Taylors Yorkshire Tea that was on sale....10 bags for a dollar....that I'll try some this afternoon and report back.

You are both so right.

One of my best memories of London was my first visit there and having afternoon tea and finger sandwiches in the afternoon followed by a flight of scotch. It was something wonderful and an entirely new experience for me.

It is also the only place I've ever been where the hotel ironed my newspaper every morning. Ironing set the ink so that you did not get any of the ink on your hands.

Ice tea year round.

Hot tea during the winter after supper . Constant Comment, Earl Grey, Djarling, and Jasmine are my favorites. Have a cup of CC on the desk right now.

Occasionally like a bit of CC mixed in with regular to add a bit of additional spice to ice tea.

I do enjoy a cup of Earl Grey on occasion.

When pulled into a coffee joint by a friend looking for an afternoon fix, I'll sometimes order a London Fog.....Earl Grey with steamed milk, vanilla and some sugar IIRC. Pretty darn tasty.

FieldGrade;

I had the same problem with coffee bothering my guts.

Started drinking tea, and NO more problems!

I like tea.

Coffee I drink solely for effect. Tea I can enjoy.

Ditto except I found I can roil my guts with too much loose leaf steeping. I use 1 rounded tsp for a pot that holds 10-12 oz. Plenty strong for me. Used 2 tsps before that and noticed problems.

Grand Pa, a carpenter, always had steaming hot tea, every break, on the work site.

He told me that, if you drink hot black tea, when it's smoking hot out, It'll make you sweat more, which in turn, cools you off !

It works !

I had a cup of the Taylors this morning......it's very similar to the Red Rose., They're both good.

Bought a small tin of Lapsang Souchong and made a pot this PM. Was kind of intimidated with the smoky smell, but it brewed into a nice cup with lots of tea flavor. Different but very satisfying; thanks for the tip.

I'm enjoying my new membership in the Tea Party but it sure stains my old diner cups.
I had to dedicate one as the official tea cup.

Milos sweet tea.

Your welcome...
