I just finished a mug of black tea and I'm thinking about making another. I generally have one or two each morning at work instead of coffee.

Love tea :)

Twinings Irish breakfast is my usual poison, leaf at home, bag at work.

Barley Tea is really the only type of tea I will drink.

Trying out green tea in the traditional japanese way really ruined my taste for tea :)

Early grey.

And for the people (or person, haven't read the whole thread) that said Chai tea, that's the same as saying tea tea. Chai is tea in many Indian languages (and I think also Persian).

BTW: Chai is nice is made nicely with just the right amount of ginger grated into it. That's the Gujurati way to have it...I think, not sure about other places.

I love tea. What kind I drink depends on my mood. Right now I'm bouncing between:

Darjeeling
Earl Grey
English Breakfast
Green

Loose leaf tea + tea ball = Win! :)

My favorite is Iced Tea... powdered, Lipton. On a hot summer day after working in the yard.

You ought to set some sun tea out to brew while you're working in the yard. :)

I like some hot teas. I also like sweet tea, but I can only drink so much before it makes me sick.

My favorite hot tea is PG Tips.

Admittedly, my love affair with Lipton powdered iced tea probably has a lot to do with my now-late grandmother. Whenever I'd mow her lawn, she'd come outside when I was about 1/2 way through with a tall glass of ice cold, Lipton iced tea.

Oh man, there is nothing like a nice cup of tea when I'm feeling sick. My wife laughs at me because that's my "cure all". Feeling sick? Drink some tea! :)

Chai is also "tea" in Russian, but I think U.S Americans (lol miss teen USA) mostly refer to chai as tea with a bit of milk.

And Cristatus probably meant "Earl Gray" tea, good stuff btw :D

Having a mug right now. Northwest Tea Time (black tea blend) from World Merchants here in Seattle. Deep, smoky, and satisfying.
