What's your favourite tea?

I'm a green tea man. Mostly Chinese, but others as well. Mind you I do like a good strong black breackfast tea sometimes, and drink pu-ehr once in a while, and oolongs as well. Ah hell I like most all of 'em, I guess.

Gave up coffee in order to give up cigarettes, matched pair for too long.

Lots of green tea, all day long, until it's time for an ale.

My wife likes the figurines that come in the Red Rose tea. Therefore, that's what I drink! Iced in the summer and hot the other seasons. I drink it plain.

I'm rather partial to Yorkshire Tea at the moment, milk, one sugar. With ginger nuts. Not tea without the ginger nuts.

If you're like me and know you like to drink tea but know next to nothing about tea - this site looks pretty good.

That is what Americans do best. Driving everyone else crazy.

Yeah, we Americans certainly do drive everyone else crazy. I make Japanese style swords for a living, wear a kilt very near full time, and live in the middle of an Iowa cornfield on the farm where I grew up. I like tea, beers from most anywhere else (though there are some good craft bewed beers being made in the states now), especially the ales from Scotland and Ireland, and of course Guinness.

Back to tea, I think I will have a nice loose leaf Irish breakfast tea this morning.

Being that I am a Texan born and raised, my tea has to be iced and sweet with a bit of lemon. Nothing is better on a scorching Texas afternoon.

Old favorite and standby: Bigelow Plantation Mint
A new favorite: Revolution Southern Mint (very strong...enough to clear your sinuses!)...I just had this for the first time last night...Good Stuff!
My parents would love this survey...they look to tea as a medicinal cure-all...got a headache? Have a cup o' tea! An ingrown toenail? You need a cup o' tea! Tired, ugly, tooth decay, etc., etc., etc. - a cup of tea is what you need! Just an ordinary day or a celebration? Have a cup of tea! Once I was choking on a piece of chicken or meat or something, and, at the same time, both parents exclaimed..."You need a cup of tea!"

I guess there is lots of wisdom in that, though...you can't beat a good cup of tea!
