What is your favourite tea?

[NewGuise]

I am shocked - shocked, I tell you! - by the number of people here who drink lapsang souchong. I've always been told that I'm distinctly odd for liking it. Then again, that's likely true; it's just that this forum is frequented by other distinctly odd persons - kilt-wearers, even...

I like Golden Monkey tea from Adagio teas.

[dfmacliam]

English Breakfast, Rasberry Tea, Earl Grey, and good old fashion Lipton Tea... I like my tea with cream and splenda... occassionally sweetened with honey.. and lemon

I typically take my teas with no sugar/milk/honey. Just straight tea.

Lavender/Spearmint Tea!! YUM!'

Oh, and I'm a sucker for Twinnings English Breakfast tea!

[Rob Wright]

In the morning Twinnings Irish Breakfast with a splash of Irish Creme creamer. throughout the day it will be some form of white tea or a green Jasmine. I'm partial to The Republic of Tea's products. I have an entire cabinet of loose leaf and tins of bags.

I love lapsang!

But at the moment I drink a cheap gunpowder by "Kings Cross" from a drug store chain in Germany. Great taste even in the fourth infusion!

and that for 4,00 Euro / 500 g.

Its funny, in days past I drank gallons of coffee but today I'm a changed man - now I enjoy a brisk cuppa from PG Tips, Tetley, or Yorkshire Tea.

Sorry its not more exotic - but that's me!

Now a question - milk or lemon?

I've got to agree with Phil - we're Tetley Tea Folk in our house; sometimes the odd box of Yorkshire Tea (they keep doing 'buy one get one free' offers). PG Tips, we find a bit 'thin' - as they say 'It doesn't have any go in it!'

I myself prefer spiced tea and normally drink either Earl Grey or Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Twinings Breakfast Tea when I get up, and Twinings Earl Grey at 4PM. The way I was raised tea wasn't served after dinner, so I only have about two cups per day. Like McMurdo I'm a MIF (milk in first) guy, which drives some of my British friends nuts. I think I got into that habit in the army, as I don't recall doing that as a child. One of the many great things about the USA (and Canada) are those huge refrigerators that dispense ice-- when pouring my four o'clock cuppa I can always add an ice cube if it's too hot to drink. Probably reason #273 why I moved to the USA.

I also put milk and two sugars in my afternoon tea, something I'm told by chai cognoscenti I shouldn't do with Earl Grey. I'll be sure to remember that if his lordship stops by.
